Bilic makes a pledge to raise our hopes

Hopefully this is what we are about to see!!!

Slaven Bilic is sure that we are about to see vastly improved performances from a thus far generally lethargic West Ham team.

And he admits that whilst he believes we are getting better, the team has not always been good to watch.

Now, however, if he is to be believed things are about to change with the squad ready to start increasing our pulse rates in the correct way!

He said: “So, are we improving? Definitely. Was it always good to watch? No, but the aim now is to maintain that compactness but be more expansive. With the players we have available, I am sure we can do that.

All these things together are making this place, this club, this squad more confident. So, now I have to make decisions on who plays and who doesn’t.

That is not always nice, but it is impossible to keep everyone happy long term. It’s way better, though, than having no options.”
