Green predicts bright future
West Ham goalkeeper Robert Green insists that his side should fear no-one after their 1-0 defeat to Manchester United on Sunday.[LNB] The former Norwich man felt that his side more than held their own against the champions for long periods of the match.[LNB]In the end a Ryan Giggs strike after 62 minutes was enough to seal all three points for Sir Alex Ferguson's side, but the 29-year-old points out that Hammers fans are now travelling to Upton Park expecting a result against the likes of Manchester United, rather than hoping for one.[LNB]Green believes this highlights how far the team have come under manager Gianfranco Zola, as the defeat on Sunday ended an unbeaten run of eight games in all competitions.[LNB]"We are on a run of form and it would have been good to continue that but it's a step in the right direction," he explained.[LNB]Expectation"A few months ago, people would have been dreading this game outside of the dressing room and now people are walking away rather disappointed.[LNB]"Expectations have risen and no more than among ourselves.[LNB]"I didn't have a great deal to do and United didn't really get into fifth gear at any point.[LNB]"They stepped it up a bit until they scored in the second half and then went down a bit afterwards.[LNB]"They've had a lot of 1-0 wins recently. We didn't really trouble them too much which is disappointing and it's a disappointing goal to concede.[LNB]"We've played United and Arsenal and held our own and done okay but we've never really troubled either team too much."
