It has been a bright start to the season for West Ham, yet one problem has remained evident as it has done for years.
“As a team, when we defend all together, it’s easier. When we defend and attack together, we are a consistent team, so I hope we are going to do this all season and have a very good season.” – @IssaDiop97 pic.twitter.com/O04G2JqnAP

Whilst the attack has been fluid and plain entertaining at times this season, the Hammers defence has yet again raised more questions than answers with the east London side registering just one clean sheet in the league so far, and defender Issa Diop has a solution to this problem
As tweeted from the club’s official Twitter account, the French centre-back admitted that if the squad defended as one, it will significantly improve the quality of the defence.
Naturally, fans on social media weren’t convinced by this and took to social media to question Diop’s answer. Here is what some West Ham supporters had to say on Twitter…
Please make sure you do this tomorrow
