Diop blanks any Watford positives…Saints must pay

|

Issa Diop is having none of it!

Unlike some of us who try to make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear the central defender is gutted and not taking a single positive from the game against Watford.

Even the manager declared we deserved more, created chances and could have got at least or deserved to get a draw or more but it sounds as though all of that has bounced off the young Frenchman’s ears.

And that is so refreshing because winners hate losing and he has no problem making his position very clear indeed that he is moving on and the Saints will need to be made to suffer,

A couple of weeks back he was explaining how unacceptable he finds life when he is involved in a defence that can’t clean sheets  Now he’s ready to forget all the wishy washy ‘we were unlucky stuff’ from yesterday and tell it as it is from his perspective.

He told www.whufc.com: I think we created some chances against Watford but, in my opinion, I don’t think you can take any positives when you lose.

We are very disappointed because, by winning this game we could have been in the top six.

“But we lost and we now need to move past it, and be focused for Southampton.”

Diop reckons the match with the Saints is a huge opportunity to West Ham to collect three points and hopefully begin another positive run of results.

He added: “We have a quick turnaround and it’s a chance to start another run of really good results in the next match. We can go for the win in the next game and hopefully we can put on another big performance when we go to Southampton.

“I hope we can win this game and get back to winning ways.”
