It was a very disappointing defeat, as it came against a team in a lower competition than them. If I'm asked if they deserve this defeat, then the answer is that they do, because in the game they are not so good and even the opponent can play better than them. Maybe the red card could be the reason for their defeat in this match, but still by chance when they were still playing with 11 players in the first half they did not show anything better.
West Ham must evaluate their defeat in this match, because if this continues it will be a threat that comes from within themselves when in the Premier League.
It seems that West Ham is experiencing a decline in performance because I see that there are no problems whatsoever with the players who I currently see are very fit, but for some reason the West Ham players have difficulty when they want to score, even though they have not been able to take advantage of several opportunities well.
If West Ham performance is still like this when they play against Sheff Utd in the coming week, it doesn't seem convincing because even though Sheff Utd is at the bottom of the standings, this team often puts up resistance which makes it difficult for the away team to score.
It's a shame but the narrow score doesn't really matter anyway.
