DS: “Now we can all feel positive”

small_320_David_SullivanDavid Sullivan has congratulated the team and said both the players and Slaven Bilic can take a lot of pride from their Liverpool achievement.

Speaking to the official site the co chairman said: ” I think we are all feeling more positive about our season.  I was impressed with the spirit and togetherness shown by the team after falling behind early on.

After what happened late on against Arsenal, some teams would have crumbled after Adam Lallana’s goal, but not West Ham United.

Instead of going into their shells and feeling sorry for themselves, they showed what playing for West Ham is all about.

We tightened things up at the back, pressed them all over the pitch as a team scored two great goals. We deserved to be winning at half-time.

It was a shame that we conceded after the break, but Darren Randolph shrugged off the disappointment of his mistake to make an absolutely world-class save from Jordan Henderson.

Make no mistake about it, getting a draw at Anfield was important for the confidence and belief in the squad – and sets us up for two vital home matches this week.

We welcome Burnley and Hull City to London Stadium and we will need every one of you behind the team as we seek six points that would take us nearer to where we want to be in the Premier League table.

As I said last week, we are a real force to be reckoned with when we are all pulling in the same direction – we showed that at Liverpool, at Manchester United, at Crystal Palace and at home to Chelsea.
