West Ham - Zola Reflects on United Defeat!

It`s the morning after the night before and yesterday`s defeat at the hands of Manchester United certainly started a few alarm bells ringing in my head.

Conceding ten goals in three matches, with seven of the coming at Upton Park, has all the hallmarks of a relegation fight looming.

Gianfranco Zola faces an anxious period trying to turn matter around and yesterday, after the defeat, he put on a brave face at his post match media conference, commenting,

"Their finishing was excellent - especially their first two goals."

"We had worked on our defending all week and we were succeeding. But after the second goal we were chasing the game and were hit on the counter- attack."

"The players gave everything so I have nothing negative about their performance. We had a very young team out there and gave it a good effort."

"Our approach play was working quite well but it`s fair to say we didn`t threaten them enough."

"We have a lot of injuries but I don`t really have too any options to strengthen in January. I might be forced to pull my boots on myself."

Now that would be something to look forward to, I bet the little maestro hasn`t lost much of that magic!
