According to Kyle Walker-Peters, West Ham's performance showed the level they are currently at. "We had some good chances, made good decisions, and just didn't put the ball in the back of the net," he said.
Walker-Peters emphasized the importance of being ruthless when opportunities arise in the Premier League. "It's hard to get those openings, and teams make you pay if you don't take them," he explained.
The team will need to analyze the goals they conceded, particularly from set-pieces, and work on improving that aspect of their game. Walker-Peters also stressed the need to stay focused and composed after conceding goals, and to learn from their mistakes.
"We need to dust ourselves down quickly, stay focused, and keep ourselves in the game," Walker-Peters said. "We've got things to look at, but in the end, it just wasn't meant for us."
