Just In: West Ham Star Player’s Startling Statement Sparks Controversy About…
James Ward-Prowse, a midfielder for West Ham, acknowledges that his team wasn’t good enough to lose against Crystal Palace.
On Sunday, the Eagles crushed the Hammers 5-1.
According to Ward-Prowse, it was embarrassing for the team.
“Though we didn’t advance [to the UEFA Europa League semifinals], we had an incredible night on Thursday and demonstrated what a West Ham club ought to look like. We were aggressive and playing the front foot.
You can discuss how you play with the ball, but I believe that against Crystal Palace, we lacked sufficient aggressiveness and unity when we weren’t in possession of the ball. That probably cost us.
We gave up four goals in the first thirty-one minutes for a variety of reasons, but I don’t think we can cite playing on a Thursday night as an excuse.
You can’t play like that against one of the finest teams in the world right now, Bayer Leverkusen, and then come to Crystal Palace and perform like we did if you want to be a top team and a contender for a spot in Europe.”
“No football team in the world can score goals as easily as we did,” he said, “especially in the Premier League.” They won’t spare you whether you’re facing a team at the top or bottom of the table.
There is still plenty of football left, and as we are nearing the finish of the season, we are aware that every game is more important than the others.
“[Liverpool] is a great opponent to come back into, and hopefully we can give the supporters something to cheer about.”
