    He looks like a Greek God with that beard. Like an extra from the film 300. ;diva

    NO, I am Slavicus

    OCS. That is very very clever. They should have that above the tunnel exit. Might shake some of the players from the morose apathy that seems to overcome them at The London Stadium. Need a bit more blood and guts. Not on the terraces obvs. ;angry ;footie

    According to the commentary team, Slaven likened Andy Carroll to Forest Gump... you never know what you're going to get ;lol

    KHA, it was in that articlr Twist linked to, above...

    Slav talking about the temptation to be cautious because of past injury record.


    There comes a time, when he is fit and looking good in training, when you just have to put him in, though. You could say it’s a bit like Forrest Gump and the chocolate box scene. You never know what you are going to get until you open it although, in Andy’s case, you do know you will always get impact and determination.

    I didn`t think Slav looked particularly well in his post match interview, I think the pressure may be starting to tell. In fact if I saw him in the street I`d give him a couple of quid for a cup of tea. Slav, if you are reading: Its only a game. ;tea

    This pretty much everyone loves Slav..............

    And the fact he's trying to impersonate Big Sam recently, well just about gets him legend status

    #1-0

    I love Slav (I may've mentioned that in the past) but I do wish he'd stop saying things like this:

    “Dimi is our best player, but we played a couple of days ago and the way he is playing in the game the position he is playing where he needs to go up and down, it drains you, so his substitution was tactical,”

    Payet hasn't been our best player this season. I just wonder what this does to the confidence of the other players. Payet doesn't, in my opinion, do enough for the team and while we got away with it last season, it's diffirent this time round and we need eleven players that give 100% in every aspect.
  • SuzanneClaretSuzanneClaret
    Dimi has been poor since the Euros.
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    Payet is a luxury player. Always was, always will be. So games like tonight do not allow him to show his strengths.
    I've read somewhere he has created more chances this season than anyone else in the division.

    If you take him out of the team we will create very little.
  • OldCastleSwiftOldCastleSwift
    Maybe so Herbie, but it's more that Slav keeps claiming he's our best player. Maybe, on a technical level, he is, but I think he's been outperformed by a few players this season.
  • eskimokingeskimoking
    Problem is, a lot of those chances he's created have been for himself and he's not converting them, so could you say he's wasting opportunities?
  • Slaven_Cups_His_BeardSlaven_Cups_His_Beard
    I can see now why for many years nobody really knew too much about him

    Pure luxury from what I've seen this season, love him to bits but it's hard playing with almost 10 men some of the time

    What I couldn't understand yesterday is that Payet is the man to find Carrolls head and he took him off
  • alderzalderz
    Presumably because we couldn't afford passengers when we were already down to 10. Also, yes, Dimi is a deadball specialist, but if the likes of Lanzini & Cresswell can't take a decent set piece then I'd be extremely surprised
  • Slaven_Cups_His_BeardSlaven_Cups_His_Beard
    I said this earlier in the season, when the other 9 outfield players are at 100% then we can cope with Dimi not tracking back or tackling, but as soon as a couple of those dip below that, we struggle.

    West Ham manager Slaven Bilic has two games to save his job following the 5-0 home defeat by Manchester City in the FA Cup third round on Friday. (Sun on Sunday)

    Nonsense methinks
  • LukerzLukerz
    There will come a time when the board lose patience.

    We seemed to recover with that good run of games, but now we're back to losing, 8-0 the aggregate score in our last 3 games.

    If we sleepwalk much longer, he'll go. They know that they can't have this level of performance in this ground with tickets to sell.
  • ClactoniteClactonite
    So they'd sack him after the 21st January? Then appoint a new manager who'd have to choose his transfer targets and they'd try and get them, all before the window closes? Seems unlikely to me.

    The FA cup performance was embarrassing but I think we deserved a draw against Leicester and the Man U match was over as a contest after 15 minutes due to poor officials.
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    We had this story just after our last run of tough games/losses (Spurs, Man U/Arsenal) just as we were coming up to the 'easier' run of games that started with Burnley.

  • Slaven_Cups_His_BeardSlaven_Cups_His_Beard
    He's not going......

    They know that it's a good chance we won't be going down.

    They know that essentially 57,000 tickets are SOLD every home game.

    If they're dropping 20m this window then they wouldn't do that for a manager they didn't believe in

    There would have to be a massive breakdown in the relationship and him to walk for anything to happen

    Just my opinion
  • SuzanneClaretSuzanneClaret
    Yeah I agree. I just can't see the DDs getting shot of him.

  • chicagohammerchicagohammer
    IMO, there is no chance that he will leave before the end of the season, I really like Bilic and hope he stays, however, I do not think his position is that secure, the rest of this season is pivotal to me as to whether he is still our manager next season
