Hammer Goal scorer Declan Rice spoke to Sky Sports post-match and said
“Jesus Christ! We started really well. Three great goals. But our second-half performance wasn’t good enough. We need to stop being in the comfort zone, dropping deep. But luckily enough we got the win. Tonight is massive, the fans were nervous and I’m so happy we could give them the three points. When I saw my shot hit the back of the net, it was a great feeling, to get one on a special night like this, I’m over the moon. We can’t say we’re safe yet, because it’s not mathematically done. It’s not over to the final day, and we’ll keep fighting. Special mention to the manager as well, they work 24/7 to get the best team out.”
Rice scored only the third goal of his career last night declaring it the best effort from his short goal tally.
Such mature comments from a young man
Hit the nail on the head when he said about going into the comfort zone just after we have scored.Even at 3-0 i was still nervous because this is west ham!.
Hallelujah!!! Make sure that is the mantra we have got to stop dropping back deep and letting teams back into it!!! Look at every successful team in history when they have their foot on the throat of an opponent they don’t let up the pressure sometimes like City they increase it.
