# West Ham United: A Season of Highs and Lows West Ham United’s recent victory in the Europa Conference League over Roma has been overshadowed by their inconsistent performance in the Premier League, raising questions about their ability to maintain consistency this season. The Hammers’ 2-0 win against Roma in the Europa Conference League quarter-final was a much-needed boost, as they progress to the semi-finals. Goals from Declan Rice and Michail Antonio secured the victory, showcasing their attacking prowess and resilience. However, this success has not translated into their domestic campaign, where they are struggling to maintain consistency in the Premier League. West Ham’s recent Premier League fixtures have been a tale of missed opportunities. A 1-0 loss to Manchester United, followed by a 1-1 draw against Everton, highlights their struggles to convert dominance into wins. The absence of key players like Rice and Antonio has left gaps in their attacking and defensive capabilities, making it easier for their opponents to exploit. Manager David Moyes has faced criticism for his tactics, but the players’ injuries have also played a significant role in their poor form. The defensive vulnerabilities, particularly in set-pieces, have been a recurring issue, with United conceding in the 90th minute in both of their recent games. Despite their struggles, West Ham’s win against Roma provides a glimpse of their potential. If they can maintain their European form and address their Premier League inconsistencies, they could still turn their season around. For now, though, their Premier League campaign remains a work in progress. |
