After a tough start for Julen Lopetegui, West Ham fans finally have something to be optimistic about and a glimpse of the football they have long been craving.
West Ham's win over Ipswich Town was Julen Lopetegui's first at home in the Premier League this seasonsaw the Hammers score four goals in a Premier League match for the first time since a 4-2 win over Brentford in February.
After seven games of the campaign, West Ham have won two, drawn two and lost three, as Saturday's win moves a poor start to the campaign into a decent one.Lopetegui is undoubtedly having to deal with raised expectations. They then won the Europa Conference League, their first trophy since the 1980 FA Cup, beating Fiorentina 2-1 in Prague before 70,000 Hammers fans lined the streets of east London for the trophy parade a day later.The Conference League win masked a poor 2022-23 Premier League campaign that saw West Ham end 14th, scoring only 42 in 38 games.
"We want to win, but we want to be entertained. Moyes' brand of football was dire but we won a European cup. We were never in danger of going down and always fighting for Europe but the football was awful to watch. The early signs under the Spaniard were not encouraging. Home losses to Aston Villa, Manchester City and Chelsea led to criticism that the style of football was the same, if not worse than last season.
West Ham also received a helping hand against a naive Ipswich side, who contributed to their own downfall with defensive mistakes contributing to three of West Ham's four goals.
