Faubert attacks Curbishley

West Ham's summer signing from Bordeaux, Julien Faubert, has hit out at boss Alan Curbishley's tactics and training methods. The player has spent the majority of the season on the sidelines with injury.

"We have gaps in that area of the game, our tactics and on the defending and positional aspects," Faubert said in the Daily Star.

"We rarely speak tactics at training, and since I've been here we have done just two tactical training sessions.

"Instead we just do games, try to play in little spaces with everybody in the front. The mentality here is different.

"Players kick you, then you kick them, but nobody complains, it's just part of the game."
