Jean-Clair Todibo speaks about West Ham's underwhelming start in the season
After the sixth Premier League matchday, West Ham are currently fourteenth in the Premier League table despite completing one of their best summer transfer windows in recent years. The Hammers had already played against top Premier League teams such as Aston Villa, Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool, but given the quality they have in their squad, Julen Lopetegui's side should have avoided defeats in a few of those games. Thus, West Ham are struggling to find some good momentum which led them to settle for a draw against Fulham as well as Brentford after conceding early goals in the first half.
On a positive note, West Ham responded well after half-time and leveled the score at 1-1 to take a much needed point from the away fixture. New signing Jean-Clair Todibo made his first start for the Hammers in the Premier League and was one of the best performers for Julen Lopetegui's side despite a collective defensive mistake on the opening goal. After the match, Todibo spoke about West Ham's underwhelming start to the new season and the club's ambitions for the upcoming matches, saying,
Jean-Clair Todibo speaks about West Ham's underwhelming start in the season
"The team has a lot of good quality, a lot of good players. And I love playing with Max. I think we have a really good team, we just need time to understand each other.
- Jean-Clair Todibo
The Club bought nine new players and has a new coach, so we all need time for everything to go well."
Adapting to a new playing style under a new manager and a lot of new signings takes time, and Todibo believes that West Ham can make a comeback and aim for a top six spot in the league. Julen Lopetegui's side will now face newly promoted side Ipswich Town before the international break and a convincing win will help West Ham to boost their momentum as they will play two massive games against Tottenham Hotspurs and Manchester United after the international break.
