With Antonio out until the New Year and Hernandez sold, Sebastien Haller was left looking rather isolated against Aston Villa. Yarmolenko had a fine match against Norwich, both scoring and showing an ability to beat his man either with skill or just power. But against Villa he got very little change from a resolute defence. And is he a winger or striker? No-one seems really sure.
Perhaps bringing on Ajeti late in games might offer Haller a bit of back-up. Or Yarmolenko could be shifted to a more central role. With Anderson and Lanzini in the side there should be plenty of balls coming in, but the Hammers have to find a way of getting more players into the box. Haller can't do it all on his own.
