Analysis: 'West Ham need to focus on new battle'

West Ham do not just have off-field issues to contend with since their move to London Stadium - they have got problems on the pitch too.

Injuries have hit my old club hard, especially in attack and with the more creative players in their squad, but there are other reasons Slaven Bilic's side are struggling for form.

Last weekend's 4-2 defeat by Watford was a good example of their current issues.

The Hammers started well then got a bit complacent and stopped doing the basics - working hard for each other, allied with good organisation - that helped them do so well last season.
