West Ham's Lack of Goals

Gianfranco Zola has been speaking about West Ham's weaknesses up front and is looking forward to the return to fitness of Carlton Cole,

"That probably has been the weakest link (lack of goals). We are a team that creates a lot of chances but doesn't score as many as it creates.

Di Michele remains a key player. Maybe he doesn't score many goals but he makes the team play very well … when we lost Scott Parker he was the one who was really helping the manoeuvre of the team. He is an important player for us and I am 100 per cent sure about that.

In the last few weeks, Diego Tristan was giving those goals we need. When we have Cole it is a big thing for us. We will see."

Zola also explained why he didn't use Savio duing Saturday's game,

"Savio didn't train all the week and also it is just I made a decision that when the game was nearly finished I wanted to give a young player the possibility to play in the first team. It is as simple as that. Savio is still a player that we trust and believe in and I am sure he will make an impact with West Ham."
