What key moments defined the late comeback in the West Ham vs Stoke match?
It's fallen to Joe Allen. Now Shaqiri. Still Shaqiri. Hard saves filled. It's followed in. And Peter Crouch has come off the bench to score what could be an absolutely priceless goal for Stoke City. Cresswell now. Carroll. Oh, this one's about the big men from the bench, isn't it?
Hammer blow that for Stoke City. The thoughts of Gary Neville in just a moment. The super subs, though, had a final say. And both are with Patrick Davison.
How did Peter Crouch's performance impact Stoke's chances?
Guys, well played. Peter, you've just said to Andy off-camera, you've killed us. Does that feel like a right punch in the stomach?
Yeah, it did. We've got five minutes left. It would have been a vital win for us, a massive win. We said before the game to come here and get three points because there's a lifeline and something to hold on to. But listen, coming here and getting a draw is still a good result. But like we say, three would have done us a world of good.
Andy, does it feel like more than the point because it takes two off a direct rival? Yeah, of course, you know, I think we played well throughout. Obviously, Crouchy comes on and scores, you know, it's what he does best and it was disappointing for us, you know, we had a few chances, we've had a couple of goals disallowed, but like you say, it's like taking points off them and for us, you know, so it's a good result. It seemed like a big moment when you got your goal, Peter. What did the manager say when he sent you on? Because it just seemed like at that point in the game where it was turning towards West Ham.
Yeah, it definitely was. Just tried to unsettle them.
What are the implications of West Ham's draw for both teams?
Obviously do what I do and obviously keep following things in. That's what I did for the goal. It's just a shame because I thought we defended so well during the game and Really would have done us the world a good getting three points today, but that was a great finish by Arndt. Like I say, he did kill us.
You're afraid to say.
No, it was a great, great goal. But for us, yeah, it's a bit of a kick in the teeth. But I think we've showed, since the manager's come in, I think we've showed a lot of fight, a lot of character. We're not shipping goals like we were. So we've been a little bit unlucky in places again there today.
Andy, it was a sharp finish for a guy who's been out for so long. Did you feel as sharp as you looked? I don't think so, if I looked sharp. I didn't feel sharp, you know, the ball would come in, it's a little bit right in my path on my left foot, so I just swung and it's in.
What did the players say about their performance after the match?
Have you trained much? Five days I've had training, so I've been working with the physio beforehand, Even with the lads, about five days, so not too much. And you were involved right at the end. I mean, you actually had the ball in the net three times, West Ham not counting. What happened at the end there? Because it just sort of bobbled off you to Hernandez. Yeah, well, it's played up. I tried to bring it down and... It does hit your hand in fairness, doesn't it? It hits my hand a little bit, but if it's a shove in the back, it's a pen. If not, it's a play on, you know, but he didn't give it and at the end it's a point, so we'll take it. Last one for both of you then. Where does this leave you? Well, we've still got four games left.
I mean, we've got to win them.
How did the managers react to the match outcome?
No one's safe, you know. It's tough at the minute and we've just got to keep working. Peter, it is looking increasingly uphill, isn't it?
Yeah, of course, but it's like half and fat. I think we've got Burnley, Palace, Swansea and Liverpool. There are four games and I think there's winnable games in there. If we can win three, who knows what could happen.
Thanks for coming out. Well done, boys. Thanks a lot. Cheers.
Yeah, you can hear the disappointment, can't you, from Peter Crouch. Will that point, Gary, feel very different in both dressing rooms?
Yeah, I think the body language of Peter Crouch versus Andy Carroll tells you everything that West Ham before the game obviously wouldn't have seen, a point as being the best result in the world. But from where they were, 1-0 down with a few minutes to go, that is a better point for West Ham, there is no doubt.
