West Ham United boss Gianfranco Zola is demanding more from Carlton Cole after their 0-0 draw with Blackburn.

Zola told whufc.com: "In the first half at Blackburn he was bright and he was dangerous, but in the second half, obviously, he didn't have the same standard because of the games he has played during the week.

"You know, with Carlton, I am always really demanding because I know he can do much better than this, but it is okay. He was alright and I'm sure he'll be a player who will perform very well for us this year."
