West Ham United fans had an exciting summer by witnessing the club bring in nine new faces following Manuel Pellegrini’s appointment as manager.
The Chilean coach strengthened all areas of the pitch, but some problems still remain.
The East London outfit have lost their opening two Premier League matches, conceding six goals in the process.

They were always going to be the underdogs heading to Anfield last weekend, but the Hammers failed to put up a fight as they were outclassed by Liverpool in a 4-0 loss.
On Saturday, Pellegrini hosted his first league match at the London Stadium, and it started off well as Marko Arnautovic struck from the penalty spot in the 33rd minute against Bournemouth.
However, the visitors turned it around thanks to goals from Callum Wilson and Steve Cook.

West Ham were unable to get back into the fixture, and the defence came under intense scrutiny after the final whistle.
Summer signing Fabian Balbuena was partnered alongside Angelo Ogbonna in the centre of defence, while Pablo Zabaleta and Arthur Masuaku took the full-back spots.
The back line was easy to combat for the Cherries, which left some West Ham fans feeling frustrated.
