Four Things That Need Improving for the Match against West Brom

West Ham suffered a shocking 4-2 defeat to Watford on Saturday when the team capitulated and threw away a comfortable 2-0 lead at home to the Hornets.

The opening 40 minutes were very promising from the Hammers when Antonio opened the lead in the 5th minute with a fantastic header from a Dimitri Payet corner. In the 33rd minute, the pair linked up again with Antonio nodding in another header from a spectacular rabona cross by Payet.

But from then on, things turned for the worse with Watford scoring four goals in the space of 22 minutes either side of half-time, including two fantastic strikes from Troy Deeney and Etienne Capoue, albeit due to poor defending from James Collins and Adrian.

If West Ham want to have an as successful season like last season then they need a win at the Hawthorns on Saturday or things will be looking bleak for West Ham.

Here are four things that need to be improved for the clash against Tony Pulis’ West Brom.
