West Ham midfielder Snodgrass: Time for home truths

West Ham midfielder Robert Snodgrass says the players need to look themselves in the mirror after their thrashing at Leicester City.

The Hammers were second best in every department as a rampant Leicester got back to winning ways on Wednesday night, leaving the east Londoners above the drop zone on goal difference alone.

Snodgrass said: "We have got some tough games coming up so we need to dust ourselves down for this and we need a few home truths and watch the game back, see where we get it right, where we put it right.

"There are still a lot of points to play for but it is not a good enough performance as a team, we know that and we need to watch it again and come back stronger."

The Scotsman will undergo a scan on Thursday to assess a knock to his knee and - while he feels it is nothing too serious - it is another setback for the Hammers.

"I'm obviously gutted that I got a bang," said Snodgrass. "It is disappointing on a personal level, I've been feeling good and feeling fit and played a lot of games so to get a bang on it, these things happen in football you just need to dust yourself down and get on with it. [I'm] just gutted it has happened."
