It is now time to focus on the league

Yes getting knocked out of the cup was not on the plan for the weekend but the Premier League must now become the sole focus for the Hammers.

After a brilliant season domestically so far, the club need to continue that push for a European place – and cannot dwell on this result.

Negativity from the fans or lingering doubts from the players will only harm their push for the top six and it would be a huge shame to see the club miss out on a place in Europe because of that.
