FAILURE to convert chances is at the root of the woes at West Ham, according to a senior player.

Mark Noble blamed wayward attacking for the club’s current position at the bottom of the Premier League table.

“We have made mistakes, probably been a bit naive and we’ve not taken chances as we should have,” he admitted.

“If you look at 90 per cent of our games this year, you wouldn't think we would be struggling in the league.”

Arsenal are the visitors to Upton Park this weekend, so the hosts will look to have their shooting boots ready to put on.
