West Ham 2-3 Newcastle - Pellegrini has his say.
West Ham manager Manuel Pellegrini: "It is really difficult to explain why we played the way we did in the first 45 minutes.
"The last two games we played at home we started by pressing from the beginning, playing in the opposite half.
"I do not understand why we played so, so bad."
