# West Ham United Struggles in Europa Conference League with Only One Win in Three League Matches
West Ham United’s participation in the Europa Conference League has been marked by mixed results, with just one win in their first three matches. The Hammers, currently 7th in the Premier League table, were hoping to make a strong impression in Europe, but their performance so far has been underwhelming.
In their opening match against Italian side Fiorentina, West Ham secured a narrow 1-0 victory, thanks to a goal from striker Saïd Benrahma. However, things have gone downhill since then. A lackluster performance against Spanish side Real Valladolid saw them lose 2-0, and a disappointing draw against French club Nîmes Olympique left fans frustrated. The Hammers have now collected just one win from their first three matches in the competition, raising questions about their ability to compete at the highest level.
Defensively, West Ham has been inconsistent, often struggling to contain opposition attackers. Midfield dynamics have also been a cause for concern, with key players like Declan Rice and Tomáš Souček not performing at their usual levels. Manager David Moyes has been under pressure to find a way to revitalize the team, but the early stages of the competition have shown few signs of progress.
In their Premier League campaign, West Ham has managed to secure three wins in their first three matches, including a thrilling 2-1 victory over Manchester United. However, their performance in Europe has been a stark contrast, and fans are growing increasingly concerned about the team’s ability to handle the demands of multiple competitions.
Moyes has remained optimistic, stating that the Europa Conference League is a “different challenge” compared to the Premier League. “We’re still learning, and we’re still adjusting to the demands of this competition,” he said. “But we’ll keep working hard and see where it takes us.”
For now, West Ham’s struggles in the Europa Conference League are a reminder of the tough road ahead. With a crucial Premier League clash against Everton looming next weekend, the Hammers will need to bounce back quickly to avoid falling further behind in both competitions. Fans will be hoping for a stronger performance in their next European match, as the pressure to deliver continues to mount.
