West Ham United boss Slaven Bilic bemoaned his team's defending after throwing away a 2-0 lead to lose at home to Watford.
The Hammers appeared to be in control after a brace from Michail Antonio. But Bilic's side lost the plot and had no answer to the Hornets as they conceded four times in a remarkable turnaround at the London Stadium.
Bilic said: "It's hard to explain. I'm sure if you talk to Walter Mazzarri about the goals they conceded he would say they were cheap and too easy.
"From my point of view the first one [Watford goal] was way too easy and the second one is a classic for YouTube with no communication between two players. It shouldn't happen but that happens.
"The first one is the one that worries me more. Of course the second is awful but the first one for me came from a very predictable attack, that we should have at least put them in a situation, where they had to do something better to hurt us."
The Hammers boss added: "The bottom line is if we defend like this we aren't going to win many games. We scored enough and created enough [but didn't defend properly]."
