Surprising Stat:
With just two weeks to go in the 23/24 Premier League season, four clubs have conceded 70+ goals: West Ham, Luton Town, Burnley, and Sheffield United. West Ham is the only club to not be in the relegation zone despite their poor defensive performances this season, currently sitting 9th in the table. Like I said, they can sack Moyes if they want to, but I’d work on improving the quality in that back line first. They conceded 15 fewer goals and scored 14 fewer goals last season, finishing 14th in the league and winning the Europa Conference League. No European trophy this season, but they’ve moved up 5 places in the table and have improved offensively while regressing defensively. I think some shrewd recruitment in defense could get them back in contention for European football and I wouldn’t throw the baby out with the bath water just yet.
