West Ham appear to be closing the season with one thing in mind: let’s solidify the defence.
Last week, we saw Slaven Bilic move to a 3-4-3 formation at home against Everton and for the large part it was a success. The Toffees were limited to very few chances and the Hammers looked comfortable in all phases of the game.
For today’s trip to Stoke, again, the Hammers employed a 3-4-3 with the same starting XI as last week and were, for the most part, the better side.
If not for a number of terrific saves from Jack Butland, West Ham probably would’ve come away from this one with all three points but it wasn’t to be.
Here are our player ratings from today’s 0-0 draw with Stoke.
