West Ham lost 5-1 to Chelsea after a 3-0 defeat at Sunderland, leaving the club bottom of the early-season Premier League table. Lucas Paqueta put West Ham ahead before Joao Pedro, Pedro Neto and Enzo Fernandez put Chelsea 3-1 up by half-time, with Moises Caicedo and Trevoh Chalobah scoring in the second half. West Ham have earned nine points from 10 home Premier League games under Graham Potter, their fewest after the first 10 at home under any manager. The squad accepts they gifted cheap goals, must address basic defensive errors and focus on upcoming cup and league fixtures.
You can probably imagine... I'm fuming, disappointed, all the emotions that come with conceding eight goals in two games and not picking up a point yet. We got ourselves into a really good position at 1-0, but the goals were really cheap on our behalf. We gifted the goals away. We learned that at Sunderland last week and it was the same again today.
We're out there on the pitch, it's easy when things are going well, but when things aren't going well, you have to point the finger at every single person. We have to look at ourselves. Managers come in, but the manager can't influence the players out on the pitch. With basic football, I don't think we're doing very well. Everyone's got to look in the mirror and have some honest conversations as a group.
