West Ham United boss Manuel Pellegrini was left upset after their 3-2 defeat to Newcastle United.

Saturday's 3-2 loss to Newcastle means West Ham have picked up just one point from their last three games at London Stadium and, while late goals from Fabien Balbuena and Robert Snodgrass made life uncomfortable for the Magpies, Steve Bruce's side left east London with all three points.

It's really difficult to understand why we started the game with that attitude and without the pace that we need to win the game," Pellegrini said. In some games before we lost here, Crystal Palace was two set-pieces, today also was two set-pieces.

They're important points. In the second-half we reacted a little bit more but that's not enough. You need [to play well for] 95 minutes in the Premier League to win.

Today, for me, we cannot believe that the score was 3-2. Newcastle had a couple of chances first half that Roberto saved but we need to have a good meeting to review what we are doing.

You must try to recover after that. We've been in worse positions than now but we need a strong reaction. We can't play like we did against Everton. I hope the squad understands."
