Hammers eye the top THREE!

|

West Ham eyes came off the top four this evening and started focusing more closely on the top three.

After Chelsea had been thumped 5-2 at home by West Brom, Manchester City tore Leicester City apart with a fine second half performance to leave the Foxes sitting on 56 points.

The Hammers have the chance of moving onto 52 with a victory over Wolves at Molineux on Monday evening before meeting the Foxes next Sunday at the London Stadium.

Victory would leave them just one point behind the east midlands outfit although they have a vastly inferior goal difference.

However, the chance is there over the next two games for the Irons to raise their sights even higher and perhaps even equal the achievement of the boys of 85/86 in finishing third.

Leicester have a comparatively comfortable run in on paper apart from the final three games which sees the team visit Man United and Chelsea before entertaining Spurs in the final game of the season.

    Like Mojen said, one game at a time, don’t look beyond that, a win takes us 4th a draw 5th, there are no easŷ games, we need to react from dropping 2 points against the impotent gunners where we scored 5 goals. Back onto defensive and offensive sharpness, hopefully we have Masuaku back to assist marking Traore 352 is the winning formation against Wolves as it was earlier this season COYI!!!

    Don’t get ahead of ourselves. Wolves gave Liverpool one of the toughest games I’ve seen this season. If we’re not at our very best then all these other results will mean nothing.

    One game at a time. Just be pleased to beat wolves-hopefully -and take it from there. One game at a time which is what i hope the thinking is, Then we will see. But as long as we make top 4 -be great and hopefully the start of a brighter future.Now need Arsenal to at least draw with liverpool. !
