West Ham United goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski has explained to the club’s official website the mistake his side made against Bournemouth at the weekend.

The Hammers suffered their second successive defeat in the Premier League at the weekend, as Manuel Pellegrini’s side went down 2-1 to Bournemouth at the London Stadium this past Saturday afternoon.

Fabianski, who joined West Ham from Championship side Swansea City in the summer transfer window for a fee reported by The London Evening Standard to be worth £7 million, has explained what the Hammers did wrong against the Cherries.

The 33-year-old goalkeeper told West Ham’s official website: “From my perspective, every time we had the ball in possession, we just wanted to go straight forward and maybe we have to be more balanced in some situations and take our time a little bit with playing our football and keeping possession, rather than just trying to get it forward.”

Disappointing start

Much is expected of West Ham given the signings they have made in the summer transfer window, but things are not going well for the London club.

The Hammers went down 4-0 to Liverpool away from home at Anfield in their opening game of the Premier League season.

Next up for Pellegrini’s side is a London derby against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium, and the West Ham players have to raise their game in order to pick up all three points against the Gunners.
