West Ham United striker Andy Carroll criticises the club's supporters for consistently leaving the London Stadium before the full-time whistle.

West Ham United striker Andy Carroll has criticised the club's supporters for consistently leaving the London Stadium before the full-time whistle.

Thousands of frustrated fans again left West Ham's home stadium during the second half of Saturday's Premier League clash against Liverpool, which ended in a 4-1 away win.

It has become a common occurrence during the club's matches in recent weeks, and Carroll has admitted that he is 'frustrated' with the actions of the fans.

"They really should be staying. They should be staying until the end. You never know what's going to happen. They walked out at half time against Tottenham when we were getting beat 2-0 and we turned it round," Carroll told reporters.

"Palace fans last week. Look what happened in the 97th minute. Fans should stay until the end, regardless of the team. Obviously it frustrates you. You don't think about it during the game. But when you see the game back and you see the fans leaving, they really shouldn't be leaving.

"They should be supporting us no matter what. We should be playing better. It's us to blame. But they should be helping us out a bit."

West Ham are currently looking for a new manager after sacking head coach Slaven Bilic on Monday morning.
