Last Word Fabianski

Last Word: Fabiański on Manchester City

Ahead of West Ham United’s trip to Manchester City on Wednesday evening, Łukasz Fabiański, who is set to make his 400th appearance in English league football, has the Last Word…

 

The last result against Crystal Palace wasn't the best one and the performance was a little bit off. I think that we had a decent spell recently when it comes to results and performances, but we didn’t get the result on Saturday and we did not perform well either.

But before that, every single game after the international break was really good. I think that, hopefully, we'll be able to continue like that until the end of the season. That is our challenge now.

As it stands, we are more or less in control of the situation, so it's up to us to get over the line. We don't have to really look at other teams, so it's the best place to be in terms of how you want to control the situation and it's going to be up to us.

We know that we have a really good group of players, but you have to show it every single game

I think my experience with English football actually helps me to deal with the present situation in a good way. When we have some sort of conversation about the situation, or when I hear some conversations of players, then I'll try to step in a little bit and just share my experience.

We always knew that it was going to take more than what we are on at the moment. We're never actually thinking that we are safe, we know that we need to get more points, but everything is still in our hands.

We know that we have a really good group of players, but you have to show it every single game. I think you can clearly see a change in terms of performances and the results after the last international break.

But it is clear that this season has been a bit of a struggle. We made a lot of changes in the summer. We brought in a lot of players from different leagues, so for them it's a new experience playing in the Premier League, and it always takes time.

I hope this kind of season will be like a transitional season for the group and with this experience we'll be able to first finish this season in a strong way to stay up and then, with this experience, we'll be able to start the next one well.

Playing away from home against a team like Manchester City, who have been playing really well recently, is a massive challenge. We just need to be up for it and do our best.

In recent years, our matches have always been competitive, so I hope it will be the same. I think we have the experience of being competitive with them. It is going to be hard of course but with this experience, we know we can be competitive against them.
