Even without a selection of first team
players the Hammers went eight league games unbeaten
over a tricky and busy
festive period, and the win
over Everton came without five first team defenders.
Of course, all the talk was of Harry Kane's goalscoring feats afterwards but beyond that, the
players spoke of a determination to start well against the Saints and to maintain a momentum
over the
festive period that has seen us chalk up four wins in five matches leading up to 2018.
