Sofiane Feghouli urges West Ham to produce immediate response to West Brom defeat in EFL Cup

Sam Long20 September 2016

Sofiane Feghouli has urged West Ham to produce an immediate response to their 4-2 defeat against West Brom when the Hammers host Accrington Stanley in the EFL Cup tomorrow night.

Optimism surrounded Slaven Bilic's side at the start of the season but expectations have waned following a disappointing start to the season.

Some fans have grown disillusioned after moving to the London Stadium while the Hammers' performances have done little to inspire a demanding east London fanbase, who watched their side drop into the relegation zone at the weekend.

Feghouli has been absent for most of the season with injury but is adamant he and his teammates must kick start their campaign against the League Two minnows.

"We have another game on Wednesday and we need to react straight away and get the win to take us forward," he told the club's official website.

“Each and every one of us will take a long look at ourselves and we all know that we need to do more when we wear the West Ham colours.

“We are a good team with some great players, but we need more from everyone in the squad, and I will be the first to try to give more," he added.

West Ham have produced encouraging play in bursts this season, but individual errors have cost them dearly, with Bilic accusing his players of straying from the basics that served them so well last season.

And Feghouli has called on the Hammers to cut out the mistakes ahead of Wednesday's encounter with John Coleman's side.

“We can’t afford to make any mistakes and as I said, we all need to evaluate our performances and to do more.

"We can’t just play one half of football, we need to give 100% and be fully concentrated for ninety minutes in every game.”
