Every word Alphonse Areola said about West Ham's mentality against Liverpool and France call-up

It must be gutting to concede like that?

It was unlucky for me and for the team. We wanted that win but we go back to London with an important point.

Challenge for No.1 spot now?

I am just working as much as I can every week and every day trying to help the team so I am just trying to do my best and the gaffer will make his choices.

How pleased are you to be back in the France squad?

Yeah, I was happy with this news. Of course happy to be back with the national team, it shows I have done a good job until now. Really happy and looking forward to it but we have an important game before on Sunday, let's prepare for that game and think about national team after that.

How have you settled at West Ham?

Everyone welcomed me really well. I was really happy to sign for West Ham the guys just welcomed me very well. We have a little group of French players and that helps a lot.

I feel confident with this group. We have a good group and I think we are here for one thing, to win every single game. I think we can go far in our campaigns.

What will the team's mentality be like for the Liverpool match?

The gaffer has said that we can compete for the top four and I think we have shown lots of good things in our games so we are just going to prepare that game and play the way that we play. Moving forward and try to win the game. We will see, in football, anything can happen.
