What was the significance of West Ham's win over Huddersfield?
Big relief for the Hammers tonight. They are up and running. And this is how it looks next weekend. Now just two sides without any points on the board. We're watching one of them, Bournemouth, on the Friday night football against newly promoted Brighton, starting at seven. Palace, the other team, who will be in the dugout when they face Southampton on Saturday. And a big field to Super Sunday with Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United taking on Everton. And it's the return of a league of their own. Season 12 starts on Thursday, 9 o'clock on Sky 1. Sam Adedais here with Jamie Carragher and before anything else let's hear from Andy Carroll back in the West Ham side tonight and back with victory. How did that feel Andy?
Did you feel the importance of those three points tonight?
Yeah, it was very important. I think we've had a tough run. We needed the three points and a clean sheet and that's exactly what we got.
How did the atmosphere feel in there this evening?
It was fantastic. The fans were great. We needed a big boost and the fans came out roaring and they were behind us all the way and we gave them a good performance and got the win.
What was the key to it for you, Andy, tonight?
I mean, we knew they were going to play out the back and play slow and try and break us down. But I think we were just determined to let them come to us and us, you know, try and break them down through that.
Andy, Sam, was it a good plan to play off you today, did you feel? Thought you held it up well, competing well, caused a lot of problems, particularly first half, so a lot of movement off the front three.
Yeah, we had three up top, obviously, me in the middle, and we've got obviously Chicha and Meku up here, so the balls to me were decent enough for the lads to get on the end of them, to get in behind, and that's what the aim was, to try and play the long ball to me and get the lads in behind.
Andy, you look very dangerous as a front three there. You've still got Anatovic who's suspended. You've got Lanzini to come back. How exciting can it be to play as a front man in this West Ham side going forward?
Yeah, you know, I think the team's a great team. The gaff has brought some great players in and when everyone's fit, it's going to be a battle for the XI. Starting XI, you know, it's a great team. So it's going to be a pleasure to play with the lads.
Your first action, Andy, for 150 days tonight. There was a debate in the studio how long it would last.
How did Andy Carroll feel about his return to the West Ham side?
82 minutes. So how are the legs?
Yeah, well, tomorrow I'll probably be in bits. I'm all right at the minute, I think. The adrenaline's still going, but, yeah, I'll be in the ice chamber tomorrow all day, probably.
One more before you go, Andy. How pleased are you for your manager tonight as well?
Yeah, over the moon, you know, I think it's been disappointing to read a few things that's been going on. But all the lads are behind him and it's a great win tonight. Obviously, for his birthday as well, it's even better.
Well done, Andy. Thanks for speaking to us. Enjoy it.
Thank you very much. Cheers.
Did he justify his selection? Oh, I think so. I think that right from the very start, for me, massive influence on the game. Continued to keep the pressure on Huddersfield, particularly throughout the first half. Slab must have been very disappointed that they hadn't scored by half-time with the chances that created. I think in the end, a little fortunate at the goal, as we know, but this is the game, these are the turning points of a season for you. They've deserved what they've got, but they were very fortunate to get in front with the goal that they scored. But you take it when it comes your way, when it's not going so good. I mean, this is a great ball. You know, people don't give him credit how good he is on the floor, Andy.
Because he's 6'4", 6'5", they think it's all about his aerial prowess. He's very, very good with both feet on the floor and holding it up and using his body.
Sam, does he give you a problem in that he is an absolute handful, but because of his injury record, but when he does play, you have to persist with that, you have to just accept that's what he is?
