Slav’s Payet concerns

Slaven Bilic has spoken of the fitness concerns over Dimi Payet during the game against Crystal Palace.

The brilliant French international scored another sensational free kick to take hisset piece to goals conversion rate to 50 per cent.

But afterwards the manager said: ““It was a brilliant goal. I expected him to try and bend it over the wall” My assistant, (Julian Dicks) he came to me before and I said I also scored one like that. I said no way!

But he added: “Maybe Payet wasn’t that sharp in the game because don’t forget he has had a couple of games for France that were everything for him but friendly games.

“It was very exhausting and again here he did everything but was missing that bit of sharpness. It is demanding for him psychologically.”
