Sam Allardyce admitted he was ‘shocked’ as West Ham slumped to a miserable home defeat against Crystal Palace
Glenn Murray scored twice and Scott Dann once as the Eagles claimed a 3-1 win at Upton Park on Saturday.
The performance and result led to home fans booing off the Hammers at full-time.
And Allardyce told the BBC: ‘I’m shocked. Our level of performance wasn’t where I expected it to be.
‘It’s disappointing when we’ve built expectation levels so high at home. It’s about the basics, really. If we don’t play to our best, we’ll struggle.
‘We warned the lads about Crystal Palace’s set-plays, because 50 per cent of their goals have come from set-plays. And we’ve conceded from two corners and a free-kick.’
The defeat put the seal on a February to forget for West Ham. The Hammers have failed to win any of their four Premier League games and were knocked out of the FA Cup by West Bromwich Albion.
