Bowen denied that the pressure of relegation had any effect on the players' performance, saying that if that were the case, they would have adopted a more defensive approach. He emphasized that the team needs to improve in certain areas, particularly in their ability to disrupt the opponent's game.

Regarding the relegation picture, Bowen acknowledged that things look bleak, but he emphasized the importance of holding on to their current position until the final result is known. He expressed his desire to watch the Tottenham-Chelsea match and accept the outcome, rather than relying on the outcome of other games.

Bowen remains hopeful that a Tottenham loss will give West Ham a chance to stay in the league on the final day of the season.
