Red Devil Armada English Premier League power rankings
By Mike Parrott
8. West Ham United (8 points in 5 games)
West Ham United are slowly bringing themselves out of the bottom half of the table and becoming more like their average self. With wins against Burnley and Hull, West Ham are winning the games they should be, but need to find their form from last season against the better teams. With draws against Liverpool and Man United, and an astonishing loss to Arsenal, they need Dimitri Payet and co. to play like last year to go up the table.
They only five goals in their past five games, West Ham desperately need to find their form to get more goals. Their defence has been shaky with eight goals conceded and are now playing at a negative goal difference in those five games. They’ve been able to get the lucky formula though with their goals spread out, and their goals conceded being congested. They need to increase their playing level which can be seen in stretches against the better teams in the league.
West Ham have Swansea, Leicester, and Man United to play in the next three games which should be at least six points. They should be able to beat Swansea and Leicester and try to get a draw with an in-form United. These numbers are better but Europe might not be in the conversation anymore.
Number seven on the RDA power rankings is a top four team who people are comparing to Groundhog Day…
