Crazy Southampton statistic means David Moyes has nowhere to hide, and West Ham must win with ease on Sunday.
The Hammers face the Saints at St Mary’s on Sunday afternoon, with the East London outfit looking to make it three Premier League wins on the bounce.
The Hammers have come back into form though and are now sitting comfortably in mid-table. A win at Southampton would be evidence that we are back.
A crazy Southampton statistic has emerged that should mean Moyes sets his team up to go for the jugular at St Mary’s.
The Scot often sets up far too negatively away from home. There will be no excuses this weekend though…
Crazy Southampton statistic leaves David Moyes nowhere to hide
The Saints are in the midst of a really poor run of form.
They have lost their last four Premier League games and have not kept a clean sheet in 15 games!
It’s time for West Ham to step up, take the game to Southampton and win this one comfortably.
The last time the south coast outfit kept a clean sheet in the Premier League was in April during their 1-0 home win over Arsenal.
The Hammers cannot afford to sit back and start the game slow again on Sunday. Moyes has to set his team up to go for it.
There is no need to play a back five – something that Moyes often turns to away from home.
West Ham need to put Southampton to the sword and capitalise on the frailties that they clearly have.
The crazy Southampton statistic of 15 consecutive games without a clean sheet proves that they’re there for the taking. A comfortable win for West Ham will prove that we’re back.
Anything other than a victory though and the same old doubts will begin to creep back in.
