West Ham boss Slaven Bilic
The Hammers were comfortably beaten 3-0 by Southampton at the London Stadium and the team were booed off at the final whistle.
Captain Mark Noble described conceding eleven goals in three games as ‘laughable’ after the match.
And Bilic was equally unhappy at his side’s struggles.
He told Sky Sports: ”The first half was okay. We were solid until that goal. In the second half they were better than us.
"We had a couple of chances but missed the target and they were very dangerous on the counter-attack.
"We are in a really bad spell. We are a team that is expecting something to happen by default. We don't have the confidence and it's a chain reaction.
"It's not a magic wand thing. All you can do is stick together and work hard."
