But I didn’t see that to be fair.

“It might look like that for some people but he said it because it was good for them because they turned the game around”.
“But I am here for more than a year now and I haven’t seen my players underestimate any team we have played so far, even Watford. It is just a clever statement from Troy”.
The Hammers will hope to kick-start their campaign and playing away from the London Stadium may help Slaven Bilic’s side who now sit just one point above the relegation zone.
West Brom away from home will therefore be an important clash, where they will have to find a goal from somewhere and get all three points to “push on in the league”, the 26-year-old says.
Their opposition must also dust themselves down from missing out on points last weekend, after losing 1-0 at Bournemouth in what was Albion’s third league defeat of the season, with questions raised over the future of Tony Pulis. More individual mistakes and misunderstandings from a couple of players. Now, the confidence is okay.
“As a player I thought they were trying to mug us off a little bit”, said Deeney. We will work with that.
Bilic’s men took a comfortable 2-0 lead in the match, but the Hornets would storm back into it to claim a 4-2 win. We’ve had a good meeting and now I’m waiting for the reaction tomorrow.
There was trouble between supporters and stewards during the Watford game and the authorities have refused the club’s request to increase capacity at the London Stadium from 56,000 to 60,000. “It takes time to adjust – it is a different stadium and we love our new home”.
“I didn’t notice until I was told after the game and it didn’t affect my concentration during the game so I’m sure that the players didn’t notice it”.
Of course I would like (the crowd trouble) to be sorted out.
“The fans are the most important for the club”.
