Dan Owen argues that West Ham United manager Nuno Espirito Santo recognizes his team's habit of making slow starts but has failed to correct it. Following a controversial draw against Queens Park Rangers on Friday, West Ham once again struggled early, taking more than an hour to register a shot on target after Nicolas Madsen scored the opening goal for QPR.
The writer notes that West Ham have fallen behind during the first half in eight of their 12 matches across all competitions this season. While Jarrod Bowen helped spark a second-half response before having a stoppage-time penalty saved by Pierce Charles, Owen points out that the Hammers consistently rely on difficult comebacks.
