Seb’s not safe from Pelle rap

SEBASTIEN HALLER has been told his impressive start at West Ham does not take him out of the firing line.

Boss Manuel Pellegrini laid into his players at half-time of last week’s 2-0 defeat against Everton and revealed afterwards that he could have changed all 11 of them.

That included his £45m signing from Eintracht Frankfurt, who seems to have settled in quicker than many foreign stars do when arriving in the Premier League.

But despite four goals in his opening eight games, the Hammers boss wants even more from the Frenchman.

“I think he is not doing bad but I think he can do better also,” said Pellegrini.

“He has started better maybe than we expected, now he must make more movements in the box for the way we play because we need to score more goals.”

Pellegrini was so disappointed by the performance at Goodison last weekend that he threatened those wholesale changes.

“I said that because we did not create a single chance in 45 minutes and Everton scored one goal and had a couple more chances,” he added.

“We weren’t doing things well in attack or in defence.

“But always remember the primary responsibility is my responsibility and we improved in the second half.

“Now I hope that we are the team that we were a couple of weeks ago again.”
