The Hammers are set to embark on a journey that consists of the final nine games of the season, a set of fixtures which will kick off with the Hammers taking on Manchester City at Home and ending against Leeds at the London Stadium too.

West Ham captain Jarrod Bowen recently came out, suggesting that West Ham ‘don’t want to rely on other teams’, but the reality of the situation is that it is required and very much needed to help the Hammers.

How does the saying go again? Wait for one and four come along! It’s West Ham United’s fourth clean sheet in all competitions since Burnley, which was coincidentally the beginning of where Herman took between the sticks.

The Hammers secured a vital three points at Craven Cottage with a well-thought-out performance from Nuno, where the head coach decided to return to the 4-4-2 formation, which secured yet another victory.

Fulham: Leno, Tete, Diop, Bassey, Robinson, Berge, Cairney (C), Chukwueze, King, Iwobi, Raul
Subs: Lecomte, Castagne, Anderson, Sessegnon, Reed, Lukic, Bobb, Smith-Rowe, Muniz

West Ham: Hermansen, Wan-Bissaka, Todibo, Disasi, Diouf, Fernandes, Soucek, Bowen (C), Summerville, Wilson, Taty
Subs: Areola, Walker-Peters, Mavropanos, Kilman, Adama, Magassa, Scarles, Lamadrid, Kante

West Ham’s financial accounts were released a few days ago and the reveal was a sore sight to any eyes that dared to delve into the document.

A damning scoreline, but one that doesn’t truly reflect the game.

The Hammers trembled their way to Anfield this morning to embark on what many had already anticipated to be a miserable journey. It’s a side that some would arguably say is West Ham’s biggest ‘write off’ each season, given that West Ham haven’t won at Anfield in over a decade…

Nuno and Paco decided to go with an unchanged side, which makes sense given that the hall of players the club has doesn’t necessarily open up different game plans to kickstart the game with.

Liverpool: Alisson, Gomez, Van-Dijk (C), Konate, Kerkez, Szoboszlai, Mac Allister, Salah, Gakpo, Ekitike, Gravenberch
Subs: Mamardashvili, Woodman, Chiesa, Jones, Robertson, Frimpong, Nyoni, Ramsay, Ngumoha

West Ham: Hermansen, Diouf, Wan-Bissaka, Disasi, Mavropanos, Fernandes, Soucek, Magassa, Bowen (C), Summerville, Taty
Subs: Areola, Kilman, Walker-Peters, Adama, Scarles, Todibo, Wilson, Mayers, Kante

Despite the majority of the squad being relatively quiet when it comes to giving interviews outside of mandatory ones, little to no West Ham players have spoken out, but after Bournemouth and heading into Liverpool, Fernandes has said his piece.

Karren Brady has consistently been hounded out by Hammers fans to leave the club, which many suspect could begin the surge of the toxic waste exiting the Football club.

Due to a large influx of news elsewhere, it has been highly speculated that Karen Brady could perhaps leave her role in the coming weeks towards the backend of the season. She is currently set to meet the Fan Advisory Board on Thursday, the 26th February and conveniently, financial accounts for the last season will be released just a day later.

West Ham United have been in the relegation zone since Matchweek 13 and are hoping to make history with yet another great escape, but what is currently fuelling the spirit that all Hammers fans have inside them?

The season so far has been a game of cat and mouse entirely and all Nuno’s side have done is chase because it’s all we’ve had to do, every time the Hammers picked up points, the other teams around West Ham seem to have and simply only due to the immense consistency and run the Hammers are on, it could turn the table on its head.

Not battered nor beaten, but an underwhelming result for Nuno’s side. The Hammers set out with their first team but the Cherries set out a gameplan which neutralised Nuno’s threatening attack, which Iraola achieved, but at the cost of his own team, who subsequently struggled to create chances.
