We don\u2019t see it as cool.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo-one wants those five wins more than we do, or more wins, whatever.

We definitely weren\u2019t at our best. We\u2019ve had five games now, and we\u2019ve been at a really good level. It\u2019s a tough place to come, they made it difficult, and we just didn\u2019t quite have that sharpness or that spark, really, to find the answers too often. But in the end, big credit to the boys, the spirit again in the late goal, and when we needed it. It\u2019s a great quality to have. So, we\u2019ll take the point and we\u2019ll move on.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSometimes, you credit the other team, I thought West Ham defended largely pretty well and made it difficult for us. It\u2019s a good sign that the boys are disappointed. It shows that\u2019s not enough, we\u2019ll take it as a positive that we finished the game strong.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt shows how challenging and hard it is to be consistent in this league. That\u2019s five games unbeaten with the four wins, I think it\u2019s a pretty good run and something we\u2019ve got to continue really. But it shows when you put things in perspective how well the boys have done, and we want to come back stronger and keep on improving in this little break we\u2019ve got from games. [We need to] use it well and come back in a better place.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Matheus Cunha insists \u201cI don\u2019t care at all\u201d about viral Manchester United haircut guy Frank Illet as the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":298749,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[914,42,917,43054,43,40,38,41,39,9418],"class_list":{"0":"post-298748","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-headlines","8":"tag-front-page","9":"tag-headlines","10":"tag-manchester-united","11":"tag-matheus-cunha","12":"tag-news","13":"tag-top-news","14":"tag-top-stories","15":"tag-topnews","16":"tag-topstories","17":"tag-uncategorized"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/298748","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=298748"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/298748\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/298749"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=298748"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=298748"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=298748"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
