Bilic asks Fans to be patient

CAIRO – 3 November 2017 : West Ham United manager Slaven Bilic asked the team’s fans to be patient after the team’s poor results in the Premier League this season.

“The fans will need to be patient. Our fans are very educated; they know what other teams are doing – how they are playing home or away. It doesn't mean you don't want to win the game. We have to be cautious,” Bilic told press on Thursday.

West Ham suffers this season despite the high expectations from the team in the pre-season, as they are in 16th place with 9 points. They won two games, tied three games and lost five.

Bilic spoke about the upcoming game against Liverpool, saying, “They are a very good team; they play offensive football, and it can leave them a little open at the back.”

Bilic added, “We have to be very solid when we play them. They have that pace and quality up front and on the flanks. If you have a good transition and players in the right positions, you can hurt them."

West Ham hosts Liverpool on Saturday at London Stadium. West Ham players hope to defeat the Reds to improve the team’s situation in the league.
