David Moyes insists West Ham’s form will turn around despite the third defeat in three Premier League games.
The Hammers were beaten 2-0 by Brighton on Sunday, having also lost to Manchester City and Nottingham Forest in the opening two fixtures.
It adds a certain degree of pressure to West Ham’s next fixture, against Aston Villa, given that the two games after come against Spurs and Chelsea.
Moyes insists that he is not a manager who loses three games in a row and has urged the club’s summer signings, including Gianluca Scamacca, Maxwel Cornet and Thilo Kehrer, who conceded a penalty against the Seagulls, to adapt quickly if the Irons are to start putting points on the board.
Speaking to the club’s official website after the dispiriting Brighton defeat, he said: “I don’t lose three games in a row. me personally, I don’t, so I’ve got to consider that and see how and why that’s happened.
“I’ve said it in all the outlets that we are changing and that there’s a new team evolving somewhere in here.
“They’ve not been ready yet, a lot of players haven’t been ready. We’ve lost a lot of players who we thought it was time for that to change.
“We buy a centre-half at 30 million and he goes over on his ankle so small things at the moment we feel as if they haven’t quite gone for us.
“But we will keep going and it will turn but we’re going to have to keep working at it.
“We will need to be a bit tougher and more rugged than we’ve been to get ourselves back on track.”
The Irons are in a rut at the moment and have gone on a run of just two wins in 11 games, stretching back to last season.
