West Ham boss Slaven Bilic warned his under-performing players they have run out of credit following their nightmare start to the season.
Despite bringing in 11 new signings this summer, Bilic's first-choice team is still largely the one which challenged for a top-four finish last term, eventually settling for seventh to qualify for the Europa League.
However, they were knocked out of that by Romanian minnows Astra Giurgu and have since suffered their worst opening to a campaign since 2002, when they were relegated.
Sunday's 3-0 collapse at home to Southampton made it four straight defeats, in which they have conceded a total of 14 goals, and left them in the bottom three.
