Alvaro Arbeloa loves the London Stadium!“It was brilliant to see Dimi score the free-kick right at the end and I thought we played much better in the second half and controlled the game. I thought we deserved to win.
“I don’t like to compare players but I have some really good team-mates with amazing quality. Lanzini is an amazing player and I think we have a really good squad. We also have good young players with a lot of quality.
“I thought the atmosphere was amazing, as it was when I came to my first game against Watford. I think I am going to enjoy playing in this stadium.
“We need to get back to winning ways in the league and that is the most important thing.
“We have two games at home and with the fans behind us we need to win and restore our confidence.”
“I have had some really good games playing against them so it will be good for all the players. I have some friends at Chelsea and I am sure we will see a really good game.”
Hopefully , Alvaro ; we will have improved enough by then to square up to Chelsea with confidence . We have a little over 1 month to hone our play starting with Southampton on Sunday . Injuries have blighted ( not for the first time ) our season and it’s fair to say they have influenced our poor performances . But having said that the players we do have available haven’t exactly been pulling up trees ., more like a bad attempt to chop them down with a blunt axe . You have joined a great club and hope your encouraging start is a sign of the future . Get out there on Sunday with your new mates and show us all that we be optimistic once more .
COY Hammers .
