The Hammers have lost three of their first four games this season.
West Ham United midfielder Cheikhou Kouyate has told the club’s official website that they are now in real need of points.
The Hammers have had a disappointing start to the season after impressing last year.
Last weekend saw them beaten by Watford at the Lpndon Stadium in a game that saw them throw away a two-goal lead to lose the game 4-2.
It was their third defeat of the season so far; a poor return given they lost just eight games in the whole of last season.
It leaves their current standing looking slightly bleak, even at this early stage of the campaign, and Kouyate has admitted they really need to start picking up the points.
“The most important thing for us to do is to go and get the three points when we play West Brom,” he told the club’s official website.
“We are in real need of points now. So it doesn’t matter if it is me or one of my colleagues that scores, what will please us the most is for us to go and get all three points and then push on in the league.”
West Ham are currently 17th in the table with just three points from their first four games.
It is fair to say it has not been a good start from Slaven Bilic’s side, who many were expecting big things from after they impressed last season.
In fairness to the Hammers, though, they have had tough games against Chelsea and Manchester City and were unlucky not to come away with something in the former.
However, they do need to put together a run sooner rather than later and will be keen to do start with a win over West Bromwich Albion this weekend.
