ReactionJarell Quansah on 'tough' West Ham draw and target for final three games
Jarell Quansah reflected on a tough afternoon as Liverpool were held to a 2-2 draw at West Ham United, while targeting improvement to end the season well.
The Reds were left frustrated at the London Stadium on Saturday, with Michail Antonio’s equaliser denying them the chance of three points in the Premier League.
Assessing the game afterwards, Quansah described the result as a hard one to swallow, but spoke of the determination to make sure the remaining three games of 2023-24 – against Tottenham Hotspur, Aston Villa and Wolverhampton Wanderers – are positive ones.
“[We will] just [do it] like we’ve always done and just try to win every game we can,” the 21-year-old told Liverpoolfc.com.
“That’s all we can do really, keep trying to play our way and keep doing everything we can to finish the season well and give the gaffer a good send-off.”
Jürgen Klopp’s men trailed at half-time against West Ham to Jarrod Bowen’s header, but came back strongly to lead after the break thanks to Andy Robertson’s equaliser and an own goal from Hammers goalkeeper Alphonse Areola.
Antonio, though, headed home a 77th-minute leveller to deny the visitors.
“It’s a tough game to reflect on straight away,” said Quansah. “I thought we played well in the first half but it was disappointing to then be a goal down. But we came out fighting [in the] second half with aggression and everything we needed really.
“It was just a shame they got their second goal. There’s stuff to reflect on and improve on, especially for myself.”
He added: “We knew that [West Ham were a threat from crosses] coming into the game and it’s disappointing conceding them, set-pieces especially and allowing crosses, but when they come in we’ve got to be more aggressive and got to attack them more.
“We can definitely look to that and try to improve on it.”
