Erik ten Hag: Manchester ******* boss feels West Ham defeat is ‘unfair and unjust’

******* dominated possession and had the better chances in the first half, with Alejandro Garnacho striking the crossbar and Diogo Dalot missing an open goal.

Rasmus Hojlund and Marcus Rashford both had efforts smothered by Lukasz Fabianski, while Bruno Fernandes lofted a header over the bar.

Only Crystal Palace and Southampton (six each) have scored fewer Premier League goals than Manchester *******’s eight this season.

The club have the biggest negative differential between expected goals and goals scored in the competition this term (-6.56 – 8 goals, 14.56 xG).

“We have to look in the mirror, we don’t score in a good game from our side,” said Ten Hag. “Create loads of chances and concede none, but when you lose in this way it’s a bad feeling.

“Six or seven 100 per cent chances we should have scored. But when we don’t score we have to stay calm. All over I don’t have so many criticisms about my team, other than not scoring.

“It’s not fair to pick one player [Dalot] out. I can also say Garnacho, twice, Hojlund one time, Rashford, Bruno. So many were missing chances.”

*******’s points tally of 11 is their second lowest after nine games, while they are also struggling in this season’s Europa League league phase with only three points from their opening three games.

“What is going to happen with Erik ten Hag now? The pressure has ramped up to yet another level and things cannot continue like this,” former Manchester City midfielder Michael Brown said on BBC Radio 5 Live.

“Football is so cruel because his side were miles the better team in the first half and should have been out of sight. Today they have been unlucky.”
