'It is heartbreaking' - Rice says 'rubbish' West Ham need to work harder for Pellegrini

The Hammers suffered yet another defeat against Arsenal to increase the pressure on their coach

West Ham midfielder Declan Rice says his side have been “rubbish” recently and need to step-up in order to ease the pressure on manager Manuel Pellegrini.

The Hammers lost 3-1 to Arsenal at London Stadium on Monday evening despite leading 1-0 at half-time courtesy of Angelo Ogbonna’s goal, with the players booed off at the final whistle.

It was their seventh defeat in nine games in all competitions and third successive home defeat, their worst run since moving to London Stadium three years ago.
