West Ham midfielder upbeat despite defeat
Midfielder Scott Parker believes West Ham have 'too much quality' to be relegated this season despite slipping into the drop zone at the weekend.
The Hammers created plenty of chances against Everton but are back in the bottom three after going down 2-1 at Upton Park.
Parker has played down talk of a relegation scrap though and is confident results will soon improve for Gianfranco Zola's men.
"It was not the best of results for us by any means and we did not deserve it, but there are lots of positives we can take from it," he said.
"We had a good win in the week over Aston Villa, and we wanted to build on that.
"This happened to us last year when the manager came in and we had a run of results which we did not really deserve.
"We can get out of it. We have got too much quality in this squad. It is too early to say it is a relegation battle.
Tight
"The league is very tight this year, with everybody able to beat everybody.
"We know it is going to be a tough season, but we just have to pick up some points as quick as we can."
"Every game will be massive for us this season, that is just the way it is.
"It is not happening for us at the moment even though we're playing well."
