West Ham United midfielder Mark Noble has admitted that he is baffled by how his side are currently performing in the Premier League.

The Hammers suffered their sixth defeat of the season when they conceded three goals against Chelsea at Upton Park on Saturday.

"I just can't believe the way it's going at the minute," Noble told the club's official website. "We were holding Chelsea okay and then we give away another unbelievable goal.

"After the way the things have been going this season, giving penalties away and the opposition scoring from free-kicks, this was another kick in the nether regions."

The Hammers are currently one place above the relegation zone on goal difference.
