West Ham veteran James Collins insists that it is easy to hide behind Slaven Bilic when the team are not performing well, but he and his team-mates love their boss and will stand by his side defending him.
"We are gutted with the Spurs result, but there are still games left and we can't be too down", Olsson said.
"It was a bad time to concede just before half-time, everything changes and we made two offensive changes at half-time, but it was not enough to get us back in the game", he said. "For Watford there won't be any excuses about preparation because we've got five days' training so the players will be well prepared and we'll be up for it". Fabianski produced another decent save to stop André Ayew's low shot, but the general level of quality remained low, to put it kindly.
"We must stick together and show guts and determination as a team".
'We put in a massive shift physically - one of our biggest of the season according to the figures - and there was a lot of heartbreak at the end, but you have to put that behind you quickly.

And Bilic admits that simply staying up should not be a cause of celebration for West Ham - although he is not contemplating anything else.
West Ham have been beaten just once in their last eight Premier League games against Swansea, though it was at home to the Swans last season (W4 D3).
"It was much-needed. There was big pressure, not on me, but the players".
"It was a poor performance and not what we were looking for", he said. The run we've had, we haven't been good enough but we haven't had the rub of the green either. It was a scrappy, poor game of football.
"We have to deal with that anxiety or we will be playing in the Championship next season".
'There was a lot of fear in our play, and although that improved slightly in the second half from a battling perspective.
