West Ham manager Slaven Bilic has admitted that his side deserved to lose in their 3-0 defeat against Newcastle United.
The Hammers are without a Premier League point so far this season and have conceded 10 goals in their first three games.
"We made a mistake that led to their first goal and it gave them a boost,” Bilic told BBC Sport after the game.
"We came back in the second half and we better in the first 10 minutes, but it's a game of mistakes. We didn't play good.
"They were the better side. The goals helped them. They deserved those goals because they pressured high up the pitch.
"We have to admit they were better in everything, especially in determination and wanting to win second balls and making a transition when doing that.
"We didn't deserve anything. We had a midweek game but that had nothing to do with today's performance.
"We are trying to be active [in the transfer market] still but I was happy with the team, it was just the performance that was not good. We can talk about the away games but I expected a lot, lot more."
Speaking before the loss at St. James’ Park, Bilic admitted that should any of his players leave they would need replacing.
Robert Snodgrass has since left for Aston Villa meaning there is a spot to fill with Sporting Lisbon’s William Carvalho a target.
