West Ham v Hull City, Managers Reaction
The match against Hull City was a big game for us to get some points out of. I think we played well enough to get some points, but we didn’t.
We created enough chances to have got ourselves back in the game, and then the referee should have allowed us to get back in the game by getting the decision right on Jake Livermore’s handball.
But what we’re responsible for is putting the ball in the back of the net when you create so many chances – we put over 30 crosses into the box, we had 16 attempts on goal, six on target, much more than Hull City.
I’ve been really impressed with Ravel Morrison’s creativity on the ball. He didn’t have the chances on Saturday but I think if he’d got a chance on Saturday, he’d have scored for us as he’s in great goalscoring form.
Joe Cole is back in training and Stewart Downing is back as well, which is good news. Mladen Petric hasn’t done anything all pre-season so he’s still catching up on his fitness but he can score a goal when we can get him fully fit.
For whatever reason at the minute the ball’s not going in the back of the net and that’s cost us. We’ve got to take it on the chin and now try to get some points against Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City.
