West Ham bracing for severe sanctions on Kudus following on-field outburst - Ansser Sadiq

West Ham manager Julen Lopetegui acknowledged the need to discuss Kudus' reaction in a private conversation.

“It's not good for him, it's not good for the club, for the team,” Lopetegui stated post-game. 

“But I can't say anything more because I don't see the action.”

Summer signing Max Kilman conceded: “It wasn’t good enough. There was a spell in the second half when we let the game slip.

“It was a bad spell for us. We lost concentration as a team at important moments and let them get ahead of us. “Obviously it’s not good enough for the level we are and the quality we have. We need to be doing much better.

“We need to be much better than that and make sure we’re ready for the next one.”
