West Ham return to action on Friday night knowing this is one of those matches they simply cannot afford to lose. The Hammers have had a rough run lately, from crashing out of the FA Cup in painful fashion to struggling for consistency in the league, but they have still shown they can make life difficult for strong opponents.
They recently held Manchester City to a draw, a result that added to City’s frustrations, and also found themselves involved in another chaotic contest against Liverpool, where the goals came but defensive problems remained obvious.
Softfootball reported That same pattern has followed West Ham in recent weeks they can compete, they can cause problems, but they still look vulnerable whenever the pressure rises.
Against Wolves, they now face another high-stakes test in a match that could have a major say in the relegation battle.
For the Hammers, this is no longer just about playing well, it is about finding the points needed to steady their season and ease the tension around the club.
Westham united has even taken to their x handle to post a clip of Jarrod’s six goals against Wolves to show that despite their ups and downs, they are very much ready.
