Niclas Fullkrug fumes at 'sh*t' West Ham as he calls out his teammates in angry post-match interview

West Ham United were held at home by already relegated Southampton.

Niclas Fullkrug unleashed on his West Ham United teammates after the Hammers' dismal performance against Southampton.

After losing to a late Virgil van Dijk goal against Liverpool last weekend, West Ham looked to get a positive result when they welcomed already relegated Southampton to the London Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

Jarrod Bowen made it 1-0 in the 47th minute but a Lesley Ugochukwu goal in stoppage time meant the Saints came away with a 1-1 draw.

West Ham players were booed off at full-time as their winless run stretched to six matches.

Speaking after the match, Hammers striker Fullkrug pulled no punches as he slammed his fellow teammates.

The German began: "It is a mindset problem. Very angry today. Not disappointed, just angry with what we did after the goal. It was difficult to bring the boys back to push up, we didn't push up anymore.

"We tried, but we didn't have the ability or the motivation to push up again. I am very, very angry that we played like this. We had some minutes where we showed what we can do against an opponent like that at home.

"We showed the possession we can have, that we can go in behind and have the chances to score again. But the motivation, sorry we were s*** and I'm very angry."

Fullkrug continued: "It is not the first time where we score a goal and then the next goal kick we just shoot the ball long. We don't try to play football anymore. We don't push up anymore, we just sink and that's not the way we want to play. Why we play 65 minutes before with possession, even if it's not perfect.

"We try to play with possession, try to create chances, we try to score and then we score and after that half of the team try to score again and the other half just try to defend very deep. That is not the way it works.

"We have to find a way to have togetherness, to have the idea, where we want to go and what we want to do. The coach was very clear with what he wants, we have to do it all and everyone has to do it."

As a result of their defeat, West Ham are 16th in the Premier League table.

However, they have a healthy gap of 15 points before being dragged into the relegation zone, which is currently occupied by Ipswich Town, Leicester City and Southampton.
