Matt Le Tissier suggested that he is confident that West Ham will avoid relegation this season, when speaking on Sky Sports’ Gillette Soccer Saturday programme today (Saturday March 7th, 17:18).
The Hammers were incredibly unlucky to lose to the Gunners today. They were by far the more dangerous out of the two sides.
But David Moyes’s men were just not clinical enough in front of goal.
The West Ham players must take heart from their last few performances, however. They easily have enough quality, but whether they can produce the results when they need them most remains to be seen.
At this stage of the season, it is results that matter. And there isn’t much time left for the Hammers to rack up the points they require.
Le Tissier believes that Moyes’s side will be just fine, however.
The former Saints man responded when asked by Jeff Stelling on Gillette Soccer Saturday whether he thinks West Ham have enough to stay up:
“On the back of the performance against Liverpool and the performance against Southampton last week, you can definitely see a big improvement in this West Ham team in the last few weeks. And having watched them now for two weeks in a row, I would be fairly confident that they will not get relegated this season.”
Next up for West Ham is a home game against Wolves next Sunday. And nothing less than a victory will do.
The Hammers have been lucky in recent weeks, what with the teams in and around them in the table dropping points as well. But that won’t last forever.
Wolves will be far from easy. But Moyes’s men must treat it like a cup final. And anything less than three points against the Black Country outfit will be seen as a failure.
