Moyes looking to reunite with Lamine Kone

West Ham’s defence has been their downfall so far this season. Through 11 games, no team has conceded more goals that West Ham in the Premier League, having shipped 23 already. David Moyes’ most pressing responsibility will be to make West Ham’s defence structured, more organised and tougher to break down, and perhaps he will […]

Candidates to replace Slaven Bilic as manager

It would appear the end is nigh for Slaven Bilic as West Ham manager. He could even be sacked by the time you’re reading this.

Player Ratings: West Ham 1-4 Liverpool

With Slaven Bilic’s future hanging by a threat, you would’ve thought his players would go out there and put a performance in which demonstrated that they’re still fighting for him. A shoddy first-half was sparked into life when Liverpool countered from a West Ham corner and Sadio Mane was able to lay in Mohamed Salah […]

Slaven Bilic’s body language after Wilfried Zaha equalised for Crystal Palace last weekend was that of a defeated man who knows he’s living on borrowed time.

After last weeks dismal showing against Brighton, many thought that perhaps the Hammers needed a change of manager to see a change of fortunes on the pitch, but Wednesday night’s spirited display against Tottenham in the Carabao Cup has suggested otherwise. The players are still clearly playing for the manager and now Slaven Bilic has […]

Player Ratings: Tottenham 2-3 West Ham

I mean, who on earth saw this performance coming? After the dismal outing against Brighton last weekend, many fans were calling for Slaven Bilic’s head as the players were seemingly not playing for him and he was unable to generate a performance from them.
