Jarrod Bowen has praised the West Ham backroom staff after the Hammers scored another two goals from set-pieces on their way to victory over Liverpool. Moyes said it is the delivery rather than the time spent on the set pieces that is key, even recently claiming West Ham “don’t actually do that much work,” on set pieces. Bowen, however, admitted the coaching staff go into great detailing in preparing for dead balls
Jarrod Bowen said: “The gaffer, Kev [Nolan], Nev [Paul Nevin], [Stuart] Pearcey, Bill [McKinlay], all the coaching staff… we put so much detail into our set-pieces and I think we’ve scored a lot of goals off of them. It’s not a fluke, the amount we’ve scored. Some games can be decided on set-pieces and we’ve had two goals from them – I’m not sure if the first one is an own-goal, or whatever happened, but it went in – and with Kurt Zouma’s first West Ham goal as well, I’m delighted for him.”
West Ham head into the international break in third place and Bowen even mischievously suggested it could have been even better for the Hammers.
Jarrod Bowen said: “We’re not there by coincidence – it’s not like we’ve played two games and we’re in the top four – we’re comfortably in there. We look back on the games we dropped points in [this season] – in hindsight, it’s always easy to look back – but you look at those games where we’ve dropped points and we probably should’ve won those games. We probably should be top of the league going into international break! It’s always easier to look back, but the position we’re in now is unreal.”
