Defender makes a Leicester pledge

|

Aaron Creswell has made it clear it’s all about the Hammers’ focus and positivity as they head for Leicester City this weekend.

The left sided defender is obviously aware of the recent weaknesses shown by the Foxes in recent games but insists its about what he and his team-mates do rather than what the hosts may feel and do!

Speaking ahead of the game he said: “We’ve got to focus on ourselves now. We’ve got Leicester this weekend and we need to dust ourselves off, go again, work hard and get ready to face them on Saturday.

“All we can do is have a good week in training and put all our focus on our next game. We need to try and stay as positive as we can and go out there and beat Leicester.

“If you look at Leicester, they lost 5-0 on Saturday, but they had a man sent-off at Crystal Palace on Saturday and it changed the game even more. They are still a good team, but we need to go out there and believe we can beat them.

“It would be nice to get another goal against them,  it’s not about who scores the goals, but all about the result. I couldn’t care less who scores as long as we get the points.

“I couldn’t tell you the points tally we need to get to but we are certainly not safe now. The Premier League is so unpredictable, so any of the teams around us could pick up points between now and the end of the season.

“We’ve got three games to go and we’re not going to be negative about anything. We’re going to stay as positive as we can and concentrate on the job in hand.”

    More twaddle spewed forth from players.

    Why don’t they just shut up and focus on doing the business where it matters, on the pitch. We are all tired of the meaningless spouting of half hearted, over paid indolents. Just do what you are paid for and deliver the points.

      Had to Google the word ‘indolent’

      Indolent – wanting to avoid activity or exertion; lazy.
      “they were indolent and addicted to a life of pleasure”

      You couldn’t have picked a better phrase to describe some of our shower of 💩 fella👍👍
