Thomas Hitzlsperger says West Ham United have the quality to lift themselves away from the dropzone.
Hitzlsperger insists that the squad will be able to deal with the pressure that will come against playing the likes of Stoke, Tottenham and Manchester United in the next few weeks.
"If you talk to the teams around us in the League, I think most of them would say we shouldn't be in that position," the 28-year-old said in the London Evening Standard.
"We have some good players here. I see it in training but you have to do it when it really matters.
"The pressure is huge and when you're down there near the bottom, it's hard to escape. The quality is there but we needed a boost in confidence which this win has provided.
"We have matches against good teams coming up, starting with Liverpool on Sunday but I believe we should approach it in a positive manner."
