Manuel Pellegrini will again look for a win over big opposition as has become the West Ham Way over the years!
But he is desperate to ensure that this habit of being put in our place by lessser teams has to stop as he attempts to take us to the next level.
He told reporters given such enigmatic results he said: “Well, it’s a question of course that I always ask myself.“
“We can do it very well against the big teams but every moment we have the option to make one jump more we don’t do it.
“So I hope that now with this period, in this special Premier League where we are just three points away from being involved in the first six or seven positions in the table, we will try to right that. I think we need to play more as a team, defending and attacking, eleven players.
“The eleven players need to defend at the correct moment and after that the eleven players must try to attack in the correct way.
