"He gets the penalty and scores the goal, but he is also hard-working. He is a lovely guy and always so happy in the dressing room."바카라 웹사이트

"It's big progress. We talked about it at the beginning of the season when we struggled with different things, but it is a great group to work with, they always listen," Glasner said of their recent form.바카라 웹사이트
"It's still January but for us, it is about staying humble and keeping,바카라 웹사이트to try and get the result. We have three wins this week so [the players] get a little bit more time off than planned."
On the other hand, West Ham fell to their second defeat in three games under Graham Potter and ending바카라 웹사이트the game without a single shot on target will raise concerns for the new boss.바카라 웹사이트
the second time this term that바카라 웹사이트West Ham failed to record a shot on target in a Premier League home game (v Liverpool and Crystal Palace). It is the first time since the 2005-06 campaign that the Hammers have failed to do so on multiple occasions at home in a top-flight season (v Arsenal and Wigan).
"The game looked like it was a game too far in a long week for us. We're disappointed with the result, of course, and the performance. We weren't able to show our quality," Potter said.바카라 웹사이트
The Hammers finished with seven attempts and an xG of 0.3, while their opponents generated an xG of 1.31 from 12 shots, of which seven were on target.
"I don't think we could ever really get full control of the game. We struggled to create and sustain as many attacks as we would like. The better team won on the day, and we have a lot to improve, and we will do that by sticking together," the former Brighton and Chelsea boss added.바카라 웹사이트
