Vladimír Coufal says he and his teammates can take plenty of positives from Monday’s important 4-2 victory over Brentford into Saturday’s clash away at Everton.
The 31-year-old – making his fourth Premier League start in a row – had a hand in hat-trick hero Jarrod Bowen’s second goal against the Bees, with his inch-perfect cross steered home from close range by the England forward.
The Hammers are set to face Sean Dyche’s Toffees next on Merseyside, and, off the back of their first league win in seven games, head into Saturday’s match sitting eighth in the table.
David Moyes’ side will be hungry for revenge having fallen 1-0 in the reverse fixture at London Stadium in October, and will be confident after claiming the full share of the spoils on two of their last three visits to Goodison Park.
Coufal, who is just three assists away from equalling the record in the Premier League by a Czech player, hopes the Irons can begin to find consistency on their quest for European qualification.
He said: “It was a huge win against Brentford. I hope we can take very good positives from the game [on Monday] and take them into the next games.
“We have very important matches coming up, but at the moment our heads are focused on Everton, and we need to be ready for it.
“It’s been a bit of a rollercoaster so far this season, both up and down. We have had some very good results and then some very bad performances which I am not happy about. It’s very important to be consistent.
“We had Lucas [Paquetá] back as well, which was massive for us. I listened to Emerson’s interview after the game when he said when he [Paquetá] plays our confidence is very high, and I think it’s the truth as he is a big player and has a big impact for us.”
Ahead of the Everton fixture, Coufal insists his side have done their homework on the opposition and will be looking to nullify their strengths. However, he is still expecting a difficult test, with Dyche’s charges fighting for Premier League survival.
