Niclas Füllkrug found clear words after the disappointing 1-1 with West Ham United against Premier League blame FC Southampton. “I am very angry today – not disappointed, just angry about what we did after the goal,” said the German striker in an interview with “Sky Sports”. Although you had some good phases, “but the motivation, the commitment? Sorry, we were shit. I’m very angry.”
Füllkrug had delivered the preparatory work to the lead by captain Jarrod Bowen shortly after the break, but in added time Lesley Ugochukwu equalized for the guests that were already relegated. “It is not the first time that we will score a goal, and at the next time we are going, we just hit the ball. We don’t try to play football anymore. We just go under. That is not the way we want to play,” criticized Füllkrug. “It’s a mentality problem.”
For the 32-year-old attacker, who moved from Borussia Dortmund to England for 27 million euros last August, his first Premier League season has so far been disappointing. Even due to months of injury problems, Füllkrug has so far been only 15 missions, three goals and two templates. In the table, West Ham is stuck with 36 points from 33 games in the lower third. Füllkrug’s market value fell to EUR 12 million at the last update from 15 million.
