West Ham United boss Sam Allardyce has claimed that his side doesn't have "anybody who can score a goal" after his team were beaten 1-0 by Aston Villa this afternoon.
The Hammers, who had an Enner Valencia goal ruled out for offside, have found the back of the net just once in their last four games, and that goal came from the penalty spot in their 1-0 win over Burnley last weekend.
West Ham's last goal from open play came in the 2-1 defeat at the hands of Leicester City five weeks ago.
"Our cutting edge has been missing for many weeks. We don't have anybody who can score a goal," Allardyce told BBC Sport. "It doesn't matter how many chances we create, we're not scoring. We'll struggle to win a game between now and the end of the season if we can't score a goal.
"We felt we should have had a penalty when Leandro Bacuna put two arms on Valencia. Lee Mason didn't see that, but he saw something by Kevin Nolan on Shay Given.
"We're not sure about the offside decision against Valencia in the second half. The assistant is in a terrible position to give that decision. The only reason he's given that is because the two Villa players nearby are in front of Valencia, but there are three defenders elsewhere who we think are playing him on."
The result leaves Allardyce's side 10th in the Premier League table with two games to go.
