Watford boss Javi Gracia: 23 shots - only three on target

Watford boss Javi Gracia admits he's worried after defeat to West Ham.

The Hammers won 3-1 at Vicarage Road.

Gracia said: “We've lost 1-3. That's the final result. It's true there were some moments in the game where we dominated, we created chances, but if you don't score, if after 23 shots you only put three shots on target you have to be more clinical in the moments you dominate the game.

“In the second half you have to say West Ham played better, but even in that half we had one clear chance with Will where it's impossible to miss.

“If we are critics with ourselves or demanding with ourselves we have to know we can't concede seven goals in three games.

“We have to recover the balance with defending and attacking and when we have the chance we have to be more clinical, but in this moment we get punished for every mistake we make. But we need to change the momentum and try to change with a good game and with a good result."
