West Ham captain Declan Rice has admitted that fans were “probably right to boo” after the 2-1 defeat against Crystal Palace on Sunday.
Rice told West Ham TV:
“I’m devastated. That was a game we had to win,” Rice told West Ham TV. “Fans can voice their opinions. They pay their hard-earned money to come and watch us. We weren’t at it and the expectation now of the club is to do better.
“They’re probably right to boo us in a way because we weren’t good enough and we know we have to do better.”
Rice continued and put big emphasis on the up and coming game v Leicester City on Saturday.
“We knew we had two big games before the World Cup to put yourself in a good position before we go away and you lose one of them so you’re counting on next week, You don’t want to be feeling like that already. It’s not where we want to be.”
The game vs Crystal Palace did not live up to expectations from anyone involved with West Ham, nowhere near the performances during the defeats to Liverpool and Manchester United.
Let’s hope we can get back to winning ways ASAP
