Hammers boss David Moyes will be delighted with the way that his team have started the 2023/24 campaign on all fronts, and so will the fans.
However, West Ham have lost back-to-back games in the Premier League, and must put things right against the Blades today.
The clash with Sheffield United will be a completely different test for the Hammers from the one we have faced in our last two games – one that will require more guile, creativity and attacking intent inside the final third.
In order to get the better of Sheffield United today, Moyes needs to mix things up…
West Ham vs Sheffield United requires a fresh approach from Moyes
The Hammers boss should set up with a 4-2-2-2 this afternoon – a formation that has never been seen at West Ham before under any manager.
That way, the Scot would be able to get Edson Alvarez, James Ward-Prowse, Mohammed Kudus and Lucas Paqueta all in the same team.
It would mean that Tomas Soucek will have to drop down to the bench but that’s not the end of the world against a team that will probably sit back and try to soak up the pressure.
We will need more invention and creativity today, and Soucek just doesn’t possesses those attributes.
I must say, I highly doubt that Moyes will make drastic changes today, but I really feel like a new system with more attacking players on the pitch would give us the best chance of victory.
It remains to be seen how the Scot sets up his team for the West Ham vs Sheffield United clash though.
