West Ham keeper Green: We need to show fight

Robert Green has demanded West Ham United teammates show some fight after back-to-back home defeats.

The Hammers are facing down relegation after Saturday's loss to Stoke City.

England goalkeeper Green told whufc.com: "Saturday was disappointing. Everyone put their all in, as you could see, the lads dragged themselves off the pitch. But perhaps, in front of goal, the creativity wasn't really there for us.

"We've got to pick ourselves up, dust ourselves down and get on with it. Worse things have happened. West Ham have been in worse positions at this point of the season. We've just got to dig in and fight and that's it.

"We got a response from the fans on Tuesday [after losing 3-1 at home to Wolverhampton Wanderers]. It clearly wasn't good enough and we didn't have a leg to stand on and we rightly got told what they thought of it at the end of the game. Saturday wasn't the same. The reaction at the end was one of massive disappointment, but undeniably everyone had given everything."
