Slaven Bilic: 'I am under pressure'

Slaven Bilic reckons that his job as West Ham United boss is already on the line following a second-straight defeat by losing to Bournemouth.

Slaven Bilic has admitted that he is already feeling the heat after West Ham United suffered a second straight defeat by losing to Bournemouth on Saturday.

The Croat, who replaced Sam Allardyce in the summer, led United to a memorable 2-0 win at Arsenal in their Premier League opener but the Hammers have since struggled.

They followed up their 2-1 defeat to Leicester City with a 4-3 setback to the Cherries - both at Upton Park - and Bilic concedes that pressure is mounting on him.

"I am under pressure," he told Sky Sports News. "That comes with the territory and that is why I have to turn it around.

"We were again second-best [against Bournemouth] and I don't like this situation. Playing like this we can't expect to win many games."

It gets no easier for the Irons - who sit 10th in the table - as they travel away to in-form Liverpool next Saturday.
