Supporters of West Ham United have been reacting to interview footage of Mark Noble which emerged on the Hammers’ Twitter account.
Following the Irons’ 3-2 defeat to Liverpool at Anfield, the club posted footage of an interview with their captain in which he expressed that the team have to “try and win” five of their remaining fixtures (per West Ham), which some fans were not pleased with.

Were you pleased with the Hammers' performance against Liverpool on Monday night?Yes, they put in a good shift
No, we didn't gain any points |
Following the defeat to Jurgen Klopp’s Reds, David Moyes’ side still remain in the relegation zone, trailing Aston Villa in 17th by one point (as per BBC).
Despite some supporters feeling frustrated after what Noble had to say on the game and the remaining 11 fixtures of the season, others were much more upbeat after the trip to Merseyside.
He sounds devastated, a true hammer ??

What do we think?
During the tie with Liverpool, Mark Noble picked up a player rating of 6/10 (as per football.london), which could explain why some supporters were unimpressed with their captain.
However, while some fans were unhappy, it is clear to see from the other responses that some supporters are still retaining the faith that West Ham will beat the drop.
