"They played much better, but we have to manage it much better, even because we know we were 2-0 up, and we just need to win this game, Soucek said. We have to go for counter-attacks again as to score a third goal would be important, but we can't concede three goals, because it's sometimes too easy. That's the mentality we should have [to score a third goal], because the best defence is to attack, so that's what we want, but sometimes when we are winning we go too much to defence, and then they create the chances and we didn't manage that."
"We have analysed it and looked at things, and we have to find solutions going forward, Nuno said in his press conferen"
West Ham collapsed 3-2 at Chelsea after leading 2-0, deepening a struggle to escape the relegation zone. The team has shown a tendency to sit deep when leading, conceding late goals and failing to manage matches effectively. Players emphasized the need to pursue counter-attacks to secure a decisive third goal rather than retreating into defence. The manager faces pressure after a poor start since replacing Graham Potter and must identify tactical adjustments. An upcoming away fixture at Burnley is framed as an important chance to secure a vital win and distance the club from relegation rivals.
