West Ham endured a slow start to life under Manuel Pellegrini but have started to find their rhythm in recent weeks, securing three consecutive Premier League victories.
The Hammers started December by beating Newcastle United on Tyneside before returning to east London to sweep aside Cardiff City and Crystal Palace, which presents a solid platform to build upon over the course of the busy festive season.
Favourable fixtures lie ahead for West Ham during the next month, as the Hammers tackle Fulham, Watford, Southampton, Burnley and Brighton in the Premier League before starting their FA Cup campaign against Birmingham City at the London Stadium.
With plenty to play for, Pellegrini has now stated he has the bold objective of securing a top-six finish in his first season with West Ham and fans have had their say on their manager’s lofty objectives.
We have gathered some of their responses below.
