Three times 1
West Ham have a hundred percent record in 2021: they celebrated three 1-0 victories so far. With wins over Everton, Stockport in the FA Cup and Burnley in their latest league game that has been a good start into this year.
Due to Covid-19 I haven’t been to Vienna’s West Ham pub “Tube Station” for quite a long time, and I haven’t been to London either for more than 14 months now.
Well, the only good thing is that almost every West Ham game has been televised since the restart of the Premier League after last spring’s coronavirus break. But live football is terribly missed!
With Haller having departed to Ajax, West Ham now is in search of a new striker, but the Irons‘ number one striker is Michail Antonio who brilliantly lead the line against Burnley and scored the only goal of the game. He then celebrated in a funny way lying on his back “swimming” … With Antonio back from injury, West Ham can keep their cool and can consider various options until they sign a new forward. According to the rumour mill this could be Arnautovic who wants to return to Europe from China or Patson Daka from Salzburg.
But tonight defender Craig Dawson also should be mentioned: since he came into the team against Southampton, he and his partner in the Center of the Hammers’ defence Angelo Ogbonna are yet to see a goal conceded. With the 30 year old loan signing from relegated Watford the Hammers have chalked up three wins from four games, and Dawson scored the winner in the FA Cup victory over Stockport.
