West Ham midfielder Freddie Ljungberg insists their opening day defeat by Manchester City hasn't dampened the atmosphere around the club.

He said: "Of course it's a disappointment we didn't win, but there are some good things we can take with us.

"I think we can do better and we will do better.

"You can see the whole club just wants to go somewhere. The chairman wants to buy new players. There's a great buzz and it's infectious.

"If you look at the players we've brought in and the players we're looking to get in, we have great potential this season."
