Wolves 3-0 West Ham: What Nuno and Mavropanos said
- Published
Nuno Espirito Santo spoke to BBC Match of the Day after West Ham's defeat against Wolves: "Nobody expected us to play so bad. A real poor performance today."
On what went wrong: "I wish I could answer properly. Now is the moment for us to reflect and think are we doing everything we can? Do we realise the situation we are in? And how to get out of this situation and improve. There are things that need to be addressed.
"The first half was embarrassing. I apologise to our fans who travelled. This is not what we want to show them.
"It is a complex situation. The club is working on that situation [transfers]. We have problems in terms of squad and options but that is not a justification for what we did in the first half - the mistakes we made, the lack of effort... it was very bad. It was about mistakes we made over and over again that was really poor.
"Nottingham Forest will be a tough game but now is about reacting and transforming and improving."
West Ham's Konstantinos Mavropanos speaking to Sky Sports: "We understand the fans frustrations as well, when we concede two goals like this, it's normal they react like this.
"The first half was not on the level we want. In the second half we tried to show some character but we didn't really create anything. it is what it is now."
On the manager: "For him so far it's difficult for the fans especially. I don't think this team deserve to be in this situation really, I'll say it again the only people who can change the situation is us. We have to bounce back as quick as possible, the next game is in three days, we're disappointed to come out and lose."
