West Ham United midfielder Valon Behrami admits he's struggling to see light at the end of the tunnel over their run of poor results.

After defeat to Stoke City, Behrami admits that his team-mates are starting to wonder where their next win is coming from.

"We have made a lot of little mistakes," said Behrami, reflecting on the season as a whole so far.

"And, every mistake that we do, we have paid with one goal. That is a strange thing. Sometimes we make one mistake and they score but the other team will make three or four mistakes - but we don't score. And that is the difference.

"The Premier League is like this. We are just in an unlucky phase. Yes, it is very tough. I think we played very well and we controlled the game but, in the end, we lost and that is very difficult.

"The manager, after the game, said: 'I don't know, what can I say?' That was because we did well. We did everything he asked us to do.

"If we keep doing what we are doing in training every day then we will come to a moment when we are lucky. There are some times when you don't deserve to win and you win. We will arrive at that moment in the season.

"Obviously now we need to do some work because, after eight games, we have only four points and it is not enough. It's a really tough moment."
