Evening StandardWest Ham 2021-22 season review: Hammers cleary on the up despite frustrating end to Europa League adventure
It was a season that took West Ham across Europe and while they ultimately fell short in their quest for continental glory, Hammers fans won’t forget the journey in a hurry. A small squad was increasingly stretched as the season went on, particularly in defence, but David Moyes led his side to the Europa League semi-finals and there are more away days to look forward to after a seventh-placed finish in the Premier League. There will be plenty regret about that Eintracht Frankfurt defeat, but also significant pride as the club reflect over the summer.

The Hammers, who suffered semi-final heartbreak in the continental competition just over two weeks ago, were on course to snatch sixth position from Manchester United after Michail Antonio put them ahead against Brighton. Moyes’ must be content with a place in the Europa Conference League next term following the costly capitulation, much to the annoyance of their disgruntled manager.
