West Ham United manager Gianfranco Zola was disappointed by his side's performance in their 3-0 defeat by Manchester United at Old Trafford.
The Hammers held their own for most of the first half, but once the Red Devils hit the front, Zola's side rarely looked like forcing their way back into the game.
Zola told his club's official website:"I'm not very pleased to be honest. I think that we were okay until they scored the first goal and after that we should've done more.
"In the first half we did very well coming from the back and playing through the midfield, but we didn't do as well as we normally do up front. Guillermo Franco and Carlton Cole couldn't control the ball properly and it was difficult.
"I liked the way that we occupied the pitch in the first half, we showed composure and played some good football.
"I take that as a positive but, to be honest, I'm expecting a lot more from my team.
"We have to do much better than this and refocus straightaway, because an important game for us is coming up next week, it's as simple as that."
