This is West Ham’s 2016/17 Christmas review

PRO – Improving signs

Despite a very frustrating time of it of late, there have been signs of improvement from West Ham in recent weeks.

Bilic’s men were unlucky to let slip a 2-1 lead to lose 3-2 at Tottenham a few weeks ago, and then they earned a deserved point against Manchester United the week after.

And although they were thumped 5-1 by Arsenal on December 3, they produced a battling display to deservedly draw at Liverpool last weekend, before finally getting a win by beating Burnley in midweek.

The performances have been better, except the Arsenal defeat, and there are certainly more optimistic signs for the Hammers now, especially going into a run of fixtures which includes games against Hull, Swansea, and Leicester.
