West Ham United lost to Tottenham Hotspur last weekend and will face Manchester United in the Premier League on Sunday evening.
West Ham United manager Slaven Bilic has revealed in The London Evening Standard how his players reacted after the defeat to Tottenham Hotspur last weekend.
The Hammers suffered a 3-2 defeat to Tottenham away from home at White Hart Lane in the Premier League.
Bilic’s side were leading the London derby 2-1 heading into the final minutes, but they conceded twice late on to drop all three points.
“This one really hurts – and for longer – but when we analyse the display, then for almost all of the game we did well, both individually and as a team,” Bilic wrote in The London Evening Standard. “The mistakes cost us dearly but I can take positives from 80 per cent of that game.
“For the next couple of days, the players were low and you could see it hurt them but now we are approaching a new game – admittedly another tough one at Manchester United – and we know if we do the majority of things as well as we did at Spurs, then we have a good chance.”
West Ham will return to action this weekend when they take on Manchester United away from home in the Premier League.
The Hammers will be determined to pick up all three points from the match at Old Trafford on Sunday evening.
The London outfit are just a point above the relegation zone and are in serious danger of going down to the Championship at the end of the season.
It is hard to see Bilic’s side bag a win against United, who are in good form at the moment and all head into the match as favourites. The Red Devils are unbeaten in their last three matches in all competitions.
