Cresswell: “We are getting on the front foot”

|

cressie1Aaron Cresswell reckons the team and the fans are about to start marching forward together.

Explaining that the manager has “lifted the place” he added: “We just need that little bit of luck now to get that win and push up the table.

“Friday gave us something to build on, and gives us that belief going into Wednesday. We pressed a bit more against Leicester, pushing them backwards and trying to get on the front foot We’re definitely going to go to Everton and look for the three points.”

“A draw is a little disappointing, but a point is a point and we’ll build towards Wednesday’s game against Everton now,” the left back said.

And praising the fans he said: “Going a goal down so early, they could easily have turned but credit to them they were fantastic. They gave us a lift and I think there was a period of the game when for 15, 20 minutes nobody sat on their seat and they were all up pushing us forward.

“We know where we are in the league is nowhere near good enough, but the crowd were fantastic. It gives us that lift and with nearly 60,000 fans behind you it’s fantastic. The main thing is us giving them something to shout about.

“If we play like that and have that attitude I’m sure we’ll push up the league.”

    I really like what Moyes said after the game when interviewed, when they said about effort and intensity, he said that should be a given and then he said we have to look at the level of effort and tonight it was good enough for a draw, so we have to do more to turn that effort into wins. Lets hope the players do that and I am sure we will see that COYI !!!
