The Hammers need just one more point from their final two games to top their group now and subsequently qualify for the knockout stages of the Europa League.
David Moyes will be delighted with the manner in which his West Ham team have dealt with their games in Europe this season.
At the end of last season, the squad had no experience of European football, aside from Tomas Soucek and Vladimir Coufal of course.
The signings of Kurt Zouma, Nikola Vlasic and Alphonse Areola would have helped with that though.
And the Hammers have surprised everyone this season. Both domestically and on the continent.
Declan Rice praises one West Ham player after Europa League draw
The Hammers went behind early last night but fought their way back into the game.
Declan Rice put in his usual all action display for West Ham during our Europa League clash vs Genk.
The 22-year-old offered praise to one of his teammates, however, when speaking to BT Sport last night (November 4th, 20:00):
“You need to give him confidence, I’m always on at him to keep expressing himself. He bailed us out tonight, he’s an unbelievable player.”
Benrahma arguably had his best game in a West Ham shirt last night.
He now has six goals and three assist in 15 games so far this season. Not a bad return at all, but he’s capable of improving that ratio by quite some way.
Said Benrahma is such a key player for West Ham. And his performance for the Hammers against Genk in the Europa League last night proved just how important he is for David Moyes.

Hopefully his display last night will give him a much-needed confidence boost. He is our main man from a creative perspective.
And hopefully now, he will reach another level entirely.
