With the injuries to the club's forwards piling up, he may just get that opportunity soon, and Titi, who has been on international duty with Guinea at the weekend, says: "It is frustrating and it is difficult times we are in. After the result at Chelsea everyone thought we had got going.
"Then to make it worse we lost at home and that means you lose confidence.
"The problem, at the moment, is with everybody and we have to redouble our efforts - we must all wake up to things.
"I am there, available, and feeling good. I want to show what I am capable of and am waiting for that.
"In the mean time I am working hard and hoping for that confidence booster of playing more minutes in a match - then people can judge if I am a good player or not.
"I have played at St. Etienne, Lens, Marseilles, Liverpool - with good players.
"Here, if I don't play it is difficult - but if I get an opportunity it will give me a boost.
"Seven or 10 matches would be nice, but I think wherever I have been I proved that I am a good player, and it doesn't mean that if I don't play here I am finished.
"But I am at the disposal of the manager and if I can get that confidence through games I will prove myself."
Titi, who lost a lot of weight in the summer, is considered by Glenn Roeder to be fully motivated this campaign.
But the player himself insists it is not essential to open his goal account for the Hammers that will get him going - but getting a lengthy run in the side.
"It is not about getting the first goal. I want to play and show I am capable of playing in this team - that's it.
"I am at the right level, I am working hard and now I am ready."
