West Ham manager left ruing tepid start in 2-0 loss as Tottenham London derby mandate issued

Paul Konchesky was frustrated with the manner in which West Ham Women started their 2-0 loss to Liverpool Women on Sunday, calling the uncharacteristic approach “unacceptable” ahead of their London derby with Tottenham Hotspur.

An insipid start to the match saw West Ham staring down an ultimately insurmountable two-goal deficit inside the opening 20 minutes, with Ceri Holland inflicting the first before the third minute for the hosts and Katie Stengel adding her finishing touch shortly after.

A much-improved second-half performance followed with decent chances at goal but Liverpool’s sturdy defence prevailed, and West Ham were served their fifth league defeat under Konchesky this season.
