Fonte: ‘It’s not only the manager, it’s the players as well!’

Jose Fonte told Sky Sports cameras “Obviously very disappointing, not the performance we wanted to produce, not the performance the fans deserve, we need to look at ourselves in the mirror because this cannot happen, this happened a few times last season. We have to put this right. We are West Ham and it’s just not possible.”

“It’s disappointing. It’s a night to look at and learn from. I won’t say it’s unacceptable. The players tried hard. We tried the best we could, but sometimes it doesn’t go your way. How can we not understand (fans booing)? They don’t like to lose 3-0 at home. We don’t either. We’re all frustrated, we apologise and we work hard on the training pitch.”

“It’s not only the manager, it’s the players as well. We have an unbelievable squad and should not be in this position.”
