Far from the competitive side they were last season, London club West Ham United is officially fighting to avoid relegation this season. They are currently in a dire situation where they only have 12 units and are just a spot shy off relegation area, and although title or relegation talk is still far away, the manager wanted to warn his players to giddy up and face the consequences of their actions.
About his players' poor performances, Bilic told the press that: "It's not that they don't care. I spoke to all of them but something is there between caring and being crazy. The players and I are together. We didn't play tonight like we know we can, and we are in the same position we were in before the game. It's about time for us – not for them – to realize what position we are, the situation we're in at the moment and the only thing we have to do to get us out of this zone."
He added: "I'm a very positive, open person and try to be open and honest. I am very optimistic and will never give up. I am positive I can turn this around. Do I enjoy to be in this situation? No. Do I feel pressure? Yeah, but I don't want to feel like I'm feeling now. Am I positive? Yes I am. Did I do enough last season to get some credit? I think I did. At the same I'm 48 and have been in football for 30 years so I know how it works in football, and I have absolutely no problem with that. Do I like my job? Yes, I like it."
