Zola Not Angry

Gianfranco Zola has refused to blame his players for West Ham's defeat to Watford yesterday.

"Freddie has done very well," Zola said. "I can't be too demanding with him but I was pleased with the way he tried to play and he is going to get better. I am sure he has got a future."

"We are going to bounce back because we are going to improve ... What can I tell [the players]? I saw them, they tried their best. They couldn't do any more than that so it is worthless getting angry with them. I am going to get angry when I need to. I have to be fair, they did everything they could."
