Sinclair points finger at Slav

Trevor Sinclair has pointed the finger straight at criticised Slaven Bilic for the club’s disappointing start to the new season.

And speaking on The Premier League show he insists if West Ham don’t start picking up points quickly, the move to the London Stadium could prove disastrous.

Sinclair said: ‘It’s clear West Ham are not defending as well as last season. That needs to change but the players don’t turn into bad players overnight, so who do you look at. You’ve got to look at the manager.

‘(He was) very entertaining over the summer covering the Euros, should he have been concentrating on the recruitment, which has not been great this season?

‘You look at the next three games, huge games. If they don’t start putting points on the board, this dream move to the London Stadium could turn into a nightmare.’

Sinclair also stated that at the same stage last season, West Ham had covered plenty more ground.

‘An interesting fact, this stage last season, West Ham were fifth in distance covered (791km), this time round they are 13th (756km). Are they as fit, are they working as hard, I’m not so sure.’
