West Ham United were beaten 2-1 by Manchester City, but put in a spirited performance in the contest.
Stan Collymore claims that West Ham United can still be a good team this season, but they need to develop a more defined style of play.
West Ham are currently sat in 19th place in the Premier League table, after what has been a disastrous start to the campaign.
David Moyes’s side are now on a run of eight matches with a win, but there was reason for encouragement in their latest performance.
West Ham put in a battling display against Manchester City, but were unable to stop themselves falling to a 2-1 defeat.
And Collymore feels that if West Ham can create a strong identity to their play, they could yet turn into a solid side.
West Ham actually took the lead against City, when Angelo Ogbonna headed in an Aaron Cresswell cross.
The Hammers managed to keep City at bay for large periods, but Pep Guardiola’s side’s quality ultimately came through.
City got level when Nicolas Otamendi bundled the ball over the line, before a late strike for David Silva meant West Ham left the Etihad Stadium empty handed.
West Ham’s fixture list does not get any easier in the coming weeks, as they face matches against Chelsea and Arsenal in their next two Premier League games.
