Defender reveals how West Ham stopped Lukaku

West Ham goalkeeper Adrian admits that the Hammers could have got more from their 0-0 stalemate against Everton on Saturday afternoon. When the season finishes we can have those discussions about our own players and potential targets.

West Ham's interest in having Simone Inzaghi as their boss for the next season was taken with some surprise in Italy.

So what was the secret?

Koeman added: "Everton now have the resources to keep every player - including Lukaku, who has a contract for another two years". Player of the Year 2017 nominees.

"The whole team but in particular the three centre-backs did an fantastic job on him". "Don't let him turn", he said.

"We talk about the magic number of 40, I think we might need a few more points, so we are not going into the last game". We now go on to the next game. People forget how young he is as he has been on the radar for a long time.

Modest to a fault, Reid played his part too as he marked Lukaku and stepped in with a couple of impressive interceptions to stop the big man in his tracks.

A desperately boring game offered few highlights but Reid believes the way Slaven Bilic's side nullified the threat of in-form Romelu Lukaku was definitely a positive.

"It was all right", he said in his usual self-effacing way.

The point means West Ham are seven points above the relegation places with only four games remaining but Bilic insists the battle to best the drop is far from over.

And centre-back Ashley Williams knows improvements are needed ahead of next weekend's clash with leaders Chelsea.

"It can work", he said. It happens when you haven't got the results you have wanted.

West Ham have been extremely disappointing since the start of March.

"We need a good away performance because I still think there is a little difference in the way we play, like to press and how we like to make it hard for our opponents", Koeman told the club's website.

"We didn't have the intensity that we need to play to our highest football level".

"It's never easy moving to a new stadium". That is no excuse but we will certainly learn from it.
