Scott Parker gave his reflections after a 'tough day' for Burnley, as West Ham eased to a 2-0 victory at Turf Moor.
The Clarets gaffer gave an honest assessment, after seeing his side beaten by two first half goals.
Here's what he had to say ...
TOUGH DAY
“It was a tough day. A really disappointing outcome to a really important game.
“You can see a fragility to us at the moment.
“It was an edgy environment. You could feel it in the stadium.
“Their two goals took the sting out of us. We gave ourselves a mountain to climb.”
FALLING SHORT
“We showed a real endeavour in the second half but we didn’t take our chances.
“I can’t fault the effort of the boys.
“I can’t be hugely critical today. But ultimately we fell short.”
IN A DIFFICULT MOMENT
“I can understand some of the frustrations. Of course I can.
“There’s other aspects that I don’t understand. Players being told they’re not fit to wear the shirt or I’m getting sacked in the morning after the first goal went in. I just don’t think that’s helpful.
“But all we can do to change things is to win football matches.
“Today is probably a reflection of the difficult moment we find ourselves in at in this time.”
