West Ham United manager Gianfranco Zola insists his side's luck will soon change if they continue to show the same spirit they had in the 2-0 home defeat to Arsenal.

The Hammers had held their own until the 75th minute when Julien Faubert scored an own goal, and their fifth defeat of the campaign was confirmed when Emmanuel Adebayor added a second goal in stoppage time.

However, an upbeat Zola said after the match: "I know it might look crazy, but I am not worried at all, because we are going to get through this.

"It would be easy for me to have a go at them, but the players' commitment is fantastic and their attitude is perfect.

"They were doing everything I asked them to on the pitch, so I can have no complaints.

"We are just not getting the results and are not playing bad. I have faith in them and believe in what they are trying to do.

"We just have to stick together because the results are not far away."

Zola also confirmed he plans to appeal against Carlton Cole's late red card in the game.
