Slaven Bilic remains on thin ice

Friend of Claret and Hugh and Daily Mirror journalist Darren Lewis confirms that Slaven Bilic remains in a precarious position after the latest Premier League result at Selhurst Park.

Lewis told his tabloid readers “Slaven Bilic remains on thin ice at West Ham after his players threw away the chance to lift the pressure on him. Bilic is also facing a defensive crisis for the visit of Liverpool on Saturday with a number of his defenders unavailable.Pablo Zabaleta is suspended, James Collins still has an ankle injury, Winston Reid missed the 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace because of a calf strain and Jose Fonte picked up a foot injury in that match, leaving the field in the second half. His London Stadium bosses are known to have been dismayed at the way that his team threw away a two-goal lead against struggling Palace.”
