West Ham defender Arthur Masuaku recognises they must do better after their humbling by Manchester City in Iceland.
The Hammers won just one of their six warm-up matches – 2-0 against Fulham in Austria in mid-July – and lost 3-0 to Manchester City in Iceland on Friday and suffered a number of injuries of varying lengths.
“We knew before the game that Man City are a big team, especially with the players they have bought this window," Masuaku told whufc.com. “It was a friendly game, but we were thinking about improving our play and, in my opinion, I didn't think we played our best.
“We have to be positive, like we said in the dressing room after the game. We still have to improve because the main event is going to start next week."
He added: “I was injured last season, so especially for me the preseason is important and I'm already looking forward to the next game and I'll always give my best."
