Sam Allardyce believes his newly formed squad is the best West Ham United side he has ever managed.
The Hammers have put up impressive performance since the beginning of this season, scoring good goals which see them sit second on the table - after eight league games.
And Big Sam says: "It looks like being the best side since I've been here and the big bonus is the new players hitting the ground running," Allardyce, who took charge of West Ham in 2011, told a news conference on Thursday.
"The rest of the team has been lifted by that increase in quality and energy and we've got over some injury problems too.
"We've scored 15 goals in our first eight games and our total last year was 40. It shows what goal scorers can do."
West Ham United will host champions Manchester City in the Barclay's Premier League on Saturday
