Robert Snodgrass has blasted the Hammers defence and snapped: “It’s very difficult to take because you are never going to get any better with mistakes like that.”

And he added: “When we’ve let the dust settle and assessed the game, I think we’ll be very disappointed with the goals we’ve conceded.

West Ham had led through a first half Marko Arnautovic penalty but two goals in six second half minutes, courtesy of some appalling defensive work, saw us lose all three points and Snodgrass was furious.

He said: “With the first one, their player has run 40 yards and we had five defenders against one attacker. At any level that’s criminal.

“The manager has tried to stop that sort of defending and it’s very difficult to take because you’re never going to get better with mistakes like that.

“We’ve probably worked on five hundred set pieces leading up to the season because he’s been wanting to stop that kind of goals and then we concede a goal – from a set piece.

“You just can’t defend like that and the boys know that as well.”
