Hammers chief pinpoints variety in squad as key to success
West Ham boss Sam Allardyce has hailed his squad options after their impressive start to the season.
The Hammers have taken six points form their opening three games on their return to the Premier League.
Allardyce takes his side to Norwich this weekend after the international break and he feels the versatility in his camp is the key to their solid start to the campaign.
"The best way for a team to play is to have variation and we have shown that since the beginning of the season," Allardyce told the club's
official website.

"We go short, we go long, we go forward, we go back, we go diagonal and we go in behind.
"It makes us very hard to play against and luckily we have the players like Ricardo Vaz Te and Mark Noble who can adapt.
"It was good to see the quality of our finishing being so good. Before we scored our second we had two or three really good chances that all tested the keeper.
"I really like the variation of the squad. We have a lot of talent - young, old, homegrown and foreign - and it all adds to the mix to form a very strong squad, which you need in this league."
