Bilic under pressure – what the fans say!

ClaretandHugh FB forum members atΒ https://www.facebook.com/groups/363174467150521/ have their say on the slump in our fortunes and how they see the future.
O It started with Antonio saga last season. We struggled when he was played at RB. Billic and the owners are not seeing things the same since the season started. Billic is losing support now from the average players.
O How do you know he’s loosing support of players- your thought or are you a mind reader!!!
O Bilic needs to ring the changes and sadly Noble is one of them.
O Yes it was school boy defending which Bilic recognises- we are five games in for gods sake – Sack bilic and who would you have instead Alan Curbishley – Glen Hoddle – gives us a break – lets not get so hysterical.
O Guus Hiddink?
O I’m old enough to remember Ron Greenwood as manager. He was possibly the best we’ve ever had. But even he, with the likes of Moore, Hurst and Peters in the side had his critics. He knew the way he wanted his teams to play.
O Would love to be a top of the league club but get real- we aren’t .For those that leave before the end of games and and want to criticise all the time = go support man utd or man city
O Love how the Noble knockers come out each time, as IF he is all the problem we have lol, still to be impressed with some of the summer signings, and Payet & Lanzini are taking time to settle back in.
O For me this form stated with the Swansea loss at home last season we are rapidly becoming known for shipping lots of goals. I thought Sunderland’s defence was poor last season but ours is right down there and form doesn’t lie.
O I’m not a doommonger I tend to be a realist but I do have fears about the way this season is shaping up. Coping with the stadium move and off field issues as well as a drastic loss of form with the manager so far unable to send out a consistently solid team is a real test and I hope that we don’t implode.
O We have to remember that last season in the Premier League was a completely crazy season!!!!
O I can understand the frustration, but come on apart from the poor defending we can all see we need new defenders Collins and Reid have not been at their best Cresswell injured. Tomkins should not have been sold, but possession wise we battered them.
O Β I do remember all the arrogant comments on Tomkins being forced out of the club. “He’s not good enough”, “bring in better def”, “we need to move further” etc. And the only direction we are moving since then is relegation.
O This is a good manager. This is a good team. The last two games have been awful, with terrible mistakes. Something is broken throughout the team. But, we have to see if it can be fixed over the next three games. The manager can fix this, but if he doesn’t, then I feel some time in October a decision needs to be made. We cannot allow this to run into December/January. Half full thinking, but I honestly believe this is as low as it is going to get. Come on Bilic

  1. Could be worse could have spent 90m on a midfielder πŸ™‚

  2. Yes I just saw that gw.Funny isn’t it,that useless team Watford who we should beat week in week out according to some have just turned over the Mancs 3-1.

    • Bob according to some we should beat every team 4-0 and the China doll would score all of them if they simply cross it to him whether on the pitch or the treatment room and Nobes would have more pace if we had better players alongside him πŸ™‚

  3. James Tomkins’ just scored for Palace v Stoke – how ironic!

    • Well done to the lad but I ain’t losing no sleep about him not being with us.Fans have short memories,he used to get ragged about his defending as much as Reid or Collins over the last couple of seasons but now he has gone he seems to be a cross between Beckenbauer & Moore in some fans minds

  4. Can everyone just chill out a little? Yes we have been poor, riddled with injuries and stadium issues.

    But come on guys, we are used to being up against it. We are West Ham and we love our club so everyone needs to get behind the players, weather the storm. Things will come good I know they will. There’s some work to do clearly but we have to have faith in Bilic.

  5. You won’t get much better at our club then Payet ,Lanzini and Kouyate so how will he get any quicker,
    He is actually taking the sting out of our affack,Keep going sideways or back wards,
    The other 3 only look to go forward every time and only pass back when they have no option,
    His main job should be to win the ball and pass to better forward thinking players,which only a real defensive midfielder will do
    He reminds me of boring butch Wilkins
    At least Ginge took his arms from behind his back that’s a start now we need Masuaka to put his hand down to waste level still can’t work out what his hand was doing next to his head with no one around him,
    This manager is the best we will bring to this club who loves this club,
    He needs to be cut throat and ring the changes,
    Send Zaza down with the under 12 to learn to trap and chest the ball,Mind you every time he got the ball yesterday there were 3 players marking him,
    Biggest mistake of the season SENDING Burke on loan
    Second waiting for Oxford to reach 25
    Last week it was drop Adrien,Randolf would not have got near any of the goals yesterday
    Let s just settle down get behind our team and let the Hippo
    Backers become quite again,
    Hopefully they will all be standing at home next game and get banned for life

  6. We will get the defence sorted and then we will be back up and running people can’t seriously be calling for slavs head ?

  7. Now if it was Brady’s head I could understand lol

  8. At least we’re better than stoke….

  9. Instead of some fans beating Bilic with a sh1tty stick maybe it is the players who need to look in the mirror.Bilic showed before he is adaptable & can send out a more defensive minded team last year pre Christmas when we were suffering so many offensive injuries.We went & ground out draws at Manure,Swansea & Villa which many pundits applauded Bilic for as he used what he had a turned us into a more defensive unit as needs must at the time.
    But no that is all forgotten & we read he is the new Martinez & a fraud who knows only how to set up an attacking side.What a f*cking joke.

  10. Talk of Bilic being under pressure is right / four losses from five games so why wouldn’t he be? But he deserves time to allow a relatively new and young squad to gel. So let’s see where we are after another five games, at which point informed decisions can be made. As others have commented, we are hardly spoiled for choice as far as alternatives go. Bilic did us right last year and given time I’m sure he will pull this round.
