Bilic speaks to Chicharito again

Slaven Bilic says he has spoken again to Chicharito saying he started as a centre-forward but had to change after the introduction of Andy Carroll after Antonio’s injury.

Again Bilic claims Chicharito was not played wide on the wing but as a striker. He admitted he is not easy to play him along side Carroll, Arnie and Antonio.

“I spoke to him after West Brom game and today he started as a centre-forward and then he had to change the position because we wanted to stay in the same system as it was working well.“ Bilic told reporters.

“Even then, he was in good areas so you can’t say he was out wide. Against top teams, everyone has to defend and he was in a position where he would have been if we were playing two strikers.

When we were attacking he was not playing on the wing, he was a striker. It’s not very easy play him with Andy, Antonio and Arnautovic and play with three centre backs.”
