West Ham 'need to work a lot harder' to fix problems - Winston Reid

Winston Reid admitted that Southampton worked harder than West Ham in their 3-0 win at the London Stadium.

The Hammers, who are enduring their worst start to the season since 2002 -- when they were relegated -- slumped to a fifth loss in their opening six matches.

Fingers are being pointed at their defending after goals from Charlie Austin, Dusan Tadic and James Ward-Prowse made it 14 conceded in their last four Premier League games.

"When you lose you, you can always do more," Reid told West Ham's official website.

"We've played against good teams so far and we need to work a lot harder to get a bit of luck on our side. You could see out there that they worked harder than us, and they got a good result.''

West Ham host Middlesbrough next weekend, when and Reid knows they desperately need a victory to kickstart their season.

"To get our confidence back, we need to work hard,'' the New Zealander added. "We need to dig deep and work a lot harder.

"We're six games in and we've only got three points, so we need to dig deeper, produce a better performance and get a win.

"The most important thing for us now is picking up that next three points."
