It was quite shocking to see West Ham United losing to newly promoted Sunderland with the scoreline of 0-3. West Ham United barely made it last season to survive the relegation battle and suffering such a huge loss against Sunderland in their first English Premier League game just shows that West Ham United defense are weak and I felt they might just be one of the first few teams to replace their manager this season as West Ham United might struggle to earn points against other teams.
Yes, West Ham started the Premier League quite badly because they lost badly, but this was only the first match and besides their statistics in this match were much better than Sunderland, their only weakness was in the defense and the lack of reliable attacking players, but I'm sure they will be much better in the future, Graham Potter just needs to fix a few small things in his squad.
Looking at the match statistics for both clubs, West Ham certainly has the better record.
However, I saw West Ham's performance was truly poor against a newly promoted club, and I was surprised that West Ham didn't score at all.
This was a poor start, and if the West Ham manager doesn't improve the squad's performance, the next few matches will be even worse.
