"I don't know. It's hard for me to talk about that now," he said.

"Of course I believe in myself. I definitely don't feel a broken man. I'm very strong. I believe in my dedication and my previous work. I know my value.
"On the other hand the situation for West Ham is not good. The club is above every individual and that includes me.

"Are we playing well? No, we are not. It's me that has to take responsibility."
