Manuel Pellegrini (West Ham):“For me there is always pressure,” he said. “It is exactly the same.“I never divide the games into ones you can win or ones you can lose, because we only try to win.“We’ve had good games against big teams, and played not so well against teams around us, so it is important to have a strong mind and understand that every game is difficult.“Our mentality is to understand there are no weaker teams and we have to play our best at all times.“Newcastle started the season badly, but they have a good team, and maybe their position now in the table is more realistic for the squad they have.”
