Slav claims attitude won the game – not a system

|

slaven-bilic-and-mark-nobleSlaven Bilic has made it clear the much discussed system wasn’t necessarily resonsible for victory over Palace on Saturday …but ATTITUDE!

He explained: “For me, it wasn’t about the system, even though I could say now ‘Yes, it was the system!’ but it was more about attitude.

It wasn’t that we didn’t want it in the last few games, but it was obvious there was a difference. Saturday’s win was all about attitude and focus and hunger and resilience and a determination that we were going to do it and we are going to come back.

Now we are in a position that we can build on this and we cannot let this opportunity slip away through out own faults.
“It can happen, as this is football and the opponent can have a brilliant day and you can be unlucky, but we’re going to come at every game like we did on Saturday.“If I knew why that focus hadn’t been there, it wouldn’t have happened four times, it would have happened one time. It’s a chain-reaction.
