Sam Allardyce admitted West Ham must improve their points-to-games ratio to haul themselves out of trouble.
The Hammers are just one place above the drop zone and without a win in the Premier League since November 30.
Next up for Allardyce’s side is a home encounter against Arsenal on Boxing Day, with Big Sam conceding they need to put points on the board.
“It doesn’t matter if we’re in the bottom three or not,” said Allardyce. “It’s 14 points from 17 games and that’s fewer points than games played. That’s got to be caught up as soon as possible and that’s a massive task that will take six, seven or eight games.
“Everyone talks about winning one game after the other and us being all right but it hasn’t happened since we got back into the Premier League.
“It’s got to happen now. It’s a long haul through Christmas and January now for us to get ourselves away from the relegation zone.
“Manchester United were always going to come out fighting as they’d lost two home games in a row, but we didn’t make life difficult for them.
“I looked at the stats and they’re not very good in the second-half if they’re drawing at half-time. But we gave them two goals early on with some poor play and made it easy for them.”
