Manchester City’s fixture vs West Ham has to be rescheduled as soon as possible, else the EPL champions might lose momentum, Shaun Wright-Phillips has said.
Shaun believes the team has to get on the pitch sooner, else, motivation levels within the squad might be affected.
According to him, City are not in a crisis, and they just need to take their chances more to begin to win games again.
He added that Sterling’s recovery from injury will also help the team to start finishing teams off like the fans are used to.
His words, “For me, it was always tough if [a match was postponed]. You build up so much emotion, ready to go out and get the victory and that happens. It’s a bit deflating, to be honest with you. I think for me as a player I would rather it [be rescheduled] this weekend,”
“I think it’s more of ‘where do you put it in?’ For Man City, and the teams up the top or even the teams at the bottom, if you’re getting into your stride at that time, the winter break can almost break it and when you come back you could be doing the opposite things.
“It’s a tough one especially when you come back off holiday to keep that momentum going.”
“I would have rather just played continuously, to be honest with you, but like you said the game’s a lot different now,”
“Maybe a plus for Sterling with the hamstring issue, it might have come at the perfect time for him to recover and be back fit and ready for it afterwards.”
On Liverpool, “I wouldn’t be worried so much about their form. I think they’re doing well,”
“I just think that the problem they have is Liverpool are doing so well that they’re not even dropping any points – they’re just winning.
“If you go back to seasons, like when you had ‘the Invincibles’, they would drop points to a draw, whereas Liverpool are taking those draws and turning those into wins, which is making it even tougher to catch them.”
