Get the ball forward quickly

West Brom will be organised. There is no doubt about that. But there’s only so much organisation you can do on the fly.

As such the Hammers should look to attack with as much pace as possible when opportunities present themselves. Michail Antonio, Manuel Lanzini and Robert Snodgrass all possess enough pace to trouble any defence. If used properly.

Obviously Andy Carroll is our main striker and that is not his game. But breaking from corners and defensive positions when he is back defending should not be an issue. The side need to have multiple ways to score, especially if the West Brom defence match up physically.

Slaven Bilic needs to use all the tools at his disposal. Not just a single route forward but many different ways to score.
