Ghana midfielder Andre Ayew and his West Ham colleagues have been blasted by their coach Slaven Bilic following their 3-0 defeat to Newcastle United last Saturday.
Bilic noted that his side was not 'good enough' as they slipped to a third consecutive Premier League defeat.
Speaking to the club's official site after the encounter, Bilic lamented his side's porous defence and profligacy in attack as the defeat left them rooted to the foot of the table.
He said: “It’s very disappointing and it’s very frustrating, the way we played. They were quicker, better in possession, better to the second ball and they punished our mistakes. It simply wasn’t good enough.
“The first two goals, we gave them the ball in dangerous areas, but we still have to react. They were individual mistakes but still you can make it up and it doesn’t have to be a goal, but we helped them.
“We didn’t look good, we didn’t play good and they were simply the better side. They deserved those goals, because they pressed high up the pitch and forced those mistakes. We gave the ball away easily but they were on top of us and put the balls in good areas.
