West Ham goalkeeper Fabianski urges patience after consecutive defeats

West Ham goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski has urged patience after their home defeat to Bournemouth.

The Hammers were beaten 2-1 by AFC Bournemouth on Saturday at London Stadium to leave them without a point after two matches.

“We have to keep looking forward and keep working with this group of players because obviously there are big changes and it always takes time to gel," said Fabianski.

“From my perspective, every time we had the ball in possession, we just wanted to go straight forward and maybe we have to be more balanced in some situations and take our time a little bit with playing our football and keeping possession, rather than just trying to get it forward," he observed.

“Maybe that's what he meant when he said [we didn't trust ourselves], that when we get possession we need to score. If we relax a bit more and take care of the ball a bit better, then we will benefit.

“We are a new group of players and it will take time, but hopefully it will click soon. I hope the fans will understand the situation and I think they do. It's important that they are supportive in every single game and keep believing in the team, because this group of players really has something quite good in terms of quality and, with a little more work, we will see the effects on the pitch."
