Former Premier League legend Alan Shearer believes West Ham boss Manuel Pellegrini needs more time to improve the Hammers...
Pellegrini has been on the receiving side of four losses in as many games, as he has started his career at the London Stadium.
Many have been calling for the ex-Manchester City boss to be sacked already, but Shearer is adamant the manager needs more time to turn their fortunes around.
"Well not yet, I think it's far too early to be talking about a manager being sacked after four games particularly after the number of players brought in to try and get that team together," Shearer explained to Coral.
"He has to be given time but also you've got to see an improvement because of the money that has been spent."
However, the Premier League's all-time leading scorer has criticised the Chilean boss for publicly questioning his player's attitude.
"You can't keep using it as an excuse for players not having the right attitude," Shearer explained. "It's no excuse for not trying hard.
"Fans want 100 per cent, that's all. They'll put up with a poor result if the players give everything."
