West Ham United boss Gianfranco Zola is banking on bedding down his new strike-force quickly.

Benni McCarthy, Mido and Ilan all have arrived to boost the Hammers strike-power, but couldn't prevent defeat to Burnley on Saturday.

Zola said: "We have to be quick to get the new players into our system. I was pleased with them because Mido was magnificent and Ilan scored, but we really have to start using the whole 90 minutes.

"My only regret is the first 20 minutes when we weren't good enough. We have improved over the last six weeks and today has been a little step back but we will come back stronger - I'm sure about that."
