PREMIER - West Ham, Cresswell again: "Our 'never say die' attitude is helping"

Again from West Ham official website columns, resident backliner and powerhouse Aaron Cresswell stated: 

“The stats say we are comfortable in away games indeed. We are eleven games unbeaten away from home going back to last season and obviously everywhere we’ve gone we’ve had a gameplan. If you look at some of our recent away games, the ones which stand are Everton away in the Premier League, Man United in the Carabao Cup and Dinamo Zagreb in the Europa League. In previous years, we might have gone 1-0 down and then the game was all but over, but we’re a different team since the Gaffer came in. We have a ‘never say die’ attitude and got some fantastic results.”

It doesn’t matter who we’re playing, whether they’re teams at the top of the league, we’re going there with the intention of turning them over. I mentioned the Everton game and we dominated that, then the Gaffer made a lot of changes for the Man United cup tie and the lads performed incredibly. That’s what we’re about – a squad, rather than just eleven players – and everyone knows we’ll need every single player this season and everyone is ready.”

We work on set-piece goals on Fridays, and always spend time on it. The Gaffer, Kevin and Nev take a lot of pride in it and we’ve scored the most set-piece goals of anyone over the last two years. The work is there and we’ve had some fantastic results off the back of them. It always helps when you have got Daws, Angelo, Kurt, Issa, Tomas, Mick… as you’ve got so many people to aim for and as a defender it’s your worst nightmare and not what you wanting to be marking against!”
