West Ham midfielder Jack Wilshere rues Bournemouth errors: But we lose together

West Ham midfielder Jack Wilshere was left frustrated after defeat at Bournemouth.

The Irons took the lead before losing 2-1 at home.

“We are a team and we win as a team and we lose as a team," said Wilshere. “I felt we controlled the first half and parts of the second half as well, but you can't give players that kind of space in this league or you'll get punished. The second goal was a set piece that we're not happy about.

“We can take the positives from the game that we kept the ball well at times and, on another day, we'd go in two or three-nil up, but it wasn't to be."

He added: “We have got a lot of new players and we need to gel. At this level in this league, people aren't given time, so we have to do it quick and all tuck in this week.

“We started well and we all wanted to win this week and we felt we were good enough to win. Obviously, the dressing room is devastated because we should have come away with something from the game, but we have to go again."
