Jarrod Bowen believes that the West Ham team has risen to the occasion for the final stretch of the season.
The Irons have only been shut out in three of their past 18 games, two of which were goalless draws, and they are two points ahead of Tottenham in the Premier League after Callum Wilson scored twice against Everton at the London Stadium. The great escape under Nuno Espirito Santo is still on.
‘A lot of players have stepped up. ‘
Bowen has already scored four goals and nine assists in the new year, but he is not doing it alone.
“They’ve undoubtedly pulled their finger out and stepped up in a way that they know how to.
“Players like Mateus Fernandes have been fantastic. Players like Crysencio Summerville, who has suffered numerous injuries, but to return from them and be a major game player who changes games for us and wins games for us, demonstrate a lot about his character and attitude.
“He has felt like a fresh signing due to the injury and the amount of time he was away.
“Konstantinos Mavropanos, I recall conducting an interview when I was with England, and someone asked me who the most undervalued player here was, and I responded that it was Dinos. I recall that people disagreed with me at the time, but now that they see Dinos, I’m at a loss for words to describe him and what he’s doing. He’s scoring goals and improving his defense.
“So, a lot of guys have stepped up, and you need that. You need threats across the pitch.
“It cannot be only one person who decides a game. If someone isn’t having their best game, someone else can step in, which are the types of hazards you require. To win games, you need threats all over the field, and I believe we have that. “
