Neill: West Ham to improve
West Ham's players are still coming to terms with high expectation levels at the club this season, says captain Lucas Neill. Right-back Neill has been disappointed with the number of errors the unsettled Hammers' back four has made in recent games, but believes their spirited performance against Arsenal could be the turn that was needed.
Neill said, "It takes some getting used to after last year. It was just about survival and now it's about making sure that we're consistently winning.
"This year, with the money that's been spent and the way that we started the season everyone's attitude and expectations have changed.
Obviously, we're all chasing fifth spot - us Newcastle, Blackburn, Portsmouth, etc - and as a result it's a different mindset, it's a different attitude to approaching every game. You're expected to go out and beat every team that's not in the top four - or at least put in a display worthy of a win."
