West Ham manager Bilic backs struggling Snodgrass

“Sometimes he has a great game and sometimes he doesn’t, but overall he is playing good”.

“Now everyone was talking about us not winning in 2017, so it’s great to have that winning feeling again”. Bilic will have to work hard to stop the season ending in a tiresome whimper.

We badly need to get a home win, so hoping Josh King will be leading the line and finding the back of the net.

Michail Antonio had given West Ham an early lead just 48 seconds after King’s penalty miss and substitute Andre Ayew appeared to have salvaged a point for the visitors when he made it 2-2 in the 82nd minute.

King wasn’t running the risk of repeating Saido Berahino’s misfortune for West Brom last season and left spot-kick duties to Benik Afobe, only for the ex-Arsenal striker to see his tame penalty held by Randolph.

The France worldwide went on strike at the London Stadium in an attempt to fast-track his exit from the Hammers and says he needed a fresh challenge after being suffocated by manager Slaven Bilic’s pragmatic approach. “But today was an off day – which is an understatement”.

Joshua King celebrates scoring their first goal as West Ham United’s Darren Randolph reacts. “Moloboytsy ‘heroic return to the middle of the table, and now the team Slaven Bilic still earn only seven points to not worry about the residence in the elite”.

“At that moment we went for the third goal, we lost too many players on that side and left it too open and you can’t give them space on the counter attack”. It was four against three and they took the opportunity.

They will have positives to take from last week’s 1-1 draw at Manchester United, where they played the second half with 10 men after Andrew Surman’s dismissal. It was at the end. “You can’t judge a player on one mistake”, added Bilic.

“But after we equalised we should have been a bit more clever”.
