West Ham have the key ingredients for a solid season despite tough start

Danny Murphy1 September 2017

I know West Ham have had a very difficult start to the season, but I honestly think they will be OK.

It is not easy when you have to play your first three league games on the road, as they had to do because the world athletics championships were being held at the London Stadium.

If you look at the squad, they have made themselves much better.

Javier Hernandez is a proven goalscorer.
