  • I'm not necessarily saying he should stay, but nothing about our owners suggests they will sack the manager. He's here for the season, and probably off in the summer
  • Do we the slowest defence in the league?
  • bye bye slav
  • I am really rather miffed.

    On the plus side, we're conceding one goal fewer each week ;ok

    What were you saying?
  • Abject, aimless, clueless, embarrassing, shambolic. Bilic isn't capable of managing this side and I hope he is out of a job by our next game.
  • 10 goals conceded in three games.

    Breaks my heart, but he has to go.
  • That is so bad. Bilic has got to go.
  • Looks like Slav has given up. Standing on the sideline with his hands in his pockets.
  • Feel utterly dejected, unfortunately not the worst I have ever seen from West Ham, but it is up there
  • I'll take the blame for that last goal, my bad guys
  • Best window ever ;lol
  • OK. So playing Huddersfield next week will be easy. At home for first time against top of the league.
  • Even last season we got a lot of unconvincing 1-0 wins. This has been coming for a long while.

    But it has been an excellent window. We have a good team. And we're being pummelled by Newcastle's Championship team.

    That's on Bilic.
  • I'd like to see what someone like Eddie How could do with the squad.

    Tbf I like Bilic but it's embarrassing the club now.

    Time is up.
  • Somewhat scarily, an overweight carvalho who hasn't trained for a month would significantly improve our line up
  • If, the team are not doing as Slaven directs them. We look rather disjointed and woefully slow and dare I say unfit?
  • We're off the pace and lethargic. Just like last season. Not sure what Bilic gets them to do in pre-season.

    He gets them to lose
  • Why would Carvalho or any other player in their prime want to come to us?
  • You can say it hasn't been a perfect window. You can say we maybe need another midfielder, or a winger.

    But you can't say a team with Hernandez, Antonio, Lanzini, Ayew, Hart, Zabaleta, Kouyate and Sakho in isn't good enough to minimum match Newcastle.

    This is Bilic's third season and now we are seeing more abject than spectacular.

    It's his third season and we continue to make defensive error after defensive error.

    It's his third season and we continue to have a gaping hole in the centre of our midfield every game.

    It's his third season and I still have no idea what our attacking plan is, except give the ball to Antonio or Lanzini and hope they do something useful.

    I don't know what formation we play, I don't know what half the jobs of players are, I don't know whether we try to press or sit off.

    Don't want Bilic to go really. I think he will be given the next home game against Huddersfield. If we don't win that I am sure he will be gone.
  • The whole team lacks organisation passion and desire.
    Noble is finished and has been poor for ages.
    Payet made him look better by dragging this team along.
    Unfortunately Payet could see what was going on at the club and did not want to be part of it.

    How can a team that has good players and such a great fan following turn in such abject performances week after week and never have its best players available !!

    This club is shaming the good name of West Ham as a footballing team.
  • Poor performance with no positives. No skill or effort. Zabaleta caught in wrong position all the time. Noble too ponderous. CBs too slow. Hernandez isolated and Sakho hardly had a look in. Why on earth did the players keep on passing sideways and backwards. It is probably the easiest game that Newcastle will have all season. Something is terribly wrong and at this rate we will easily concede 100 goals this season.
  • Spare a thought for our magnificent away fans who have made the long trip up there to witness that abomination.
  • Everyone said pre season is only about fitness not results. Has anyone told this subject lot that pre season is over.
