“We certainly share our supporters’ frustration. “There’s certainly nobody more frustrated than me. The only thing we can do now is act and try and put that right. “I’m all in to make that happen, my staff are, but it’s got to come from within the players as well. “The players have got to really stay together now and find results to move up the table. “I have been in the game long enough. If you lose three games out of four it is not the start the supporters wanted and certainly not the start I wanted. Of course, I understand. “I have two ears and I hear a lot of things. I heard the fans’ frustration. “I heard the fans’ frustration and last time I checked my ears were still working so, yeah, I pick up on everything. “I do believe we have the quality of players, I believe we have the talent there. “The thing for me that I need to get right is I need to get our best players in the best possible form and the best place they can be. When we do we will score goals and win games. “We’ve had 90 minutes ourselves to score goals and I think that’s what was missing from our performance, that little bit of imagination and creative spark in the final third. We started with two attackers on the pitch and Phil begin to try and have that. “We done a lot of things right up until a certain point in the pitch but we just couldn’t find openings. That can be two things, either our creative players have an off day or you give credit to West Ham, their organisation and defending their area really well. ”I was really happy in he first half, thought we were the better team and controlled but we didn’t create enough to trouble their keeper. “The game was finely balanced at half-time but they made a couple of changes and we stopped keeping the ball. “First half, the game was in the balance at half time, we done a lot of things right, we never got any luck off the set plays and I said to the players at half time that we need to continue doing the right things, I think we stopped passing the ball well and we were a little but more open. “Then the big moment in the second half has gone against us but we still had enough time, we changed a few things with our attacking talent from the bench, but we couldn’t create that opening to get us back in the game. “The game was there for either team but obviously the deflected goal is a big moment. After that, it was a game of basketball, end-to-end, we threw everything at it, but one moment has swung it West Ham’s way and that’s tough to take right now.” “[We needed to] provide a bit of quality or cutting edge. We scored a goal but the ball was marginally outside but we never created enough good chances in the first half. “They looked more positive in the second half but we didn’t play with the same control. “We tried to be positive with our subs that didn’t help us. I can’t fault the effort or application - we’ve lost a close one. “I’ve got confidence and belief in this group but the players have to support each other. ”Very much so [understanding fans’ frustrations]. We haven’t got enough points on the board. “I realise that and take responsibility but I want to act and I hope the players feel the same. “We’re frustrated at the moment and we haven’t put enough points on the board, certainly for the players we have got in the dressing room “Our return hasn’t been enough, I’m aware of that and in terms of moving forward we have got a choice. “We either feel sorry for ourselves and it continues or we roll our sleeves up, stick together and try to put it right. I need to lead that and that is what I’ll try to do.” Steven Gerrard.
