West Ham need an immediate response after Man City mauling

West Ham's shocking performance at home against Manchester City has cast doubts again over Slaven Bilic's long-term future as manager.

Fairly or not, the former Croatia coach has taken much of the brunt of the criticism following the 4-0 home thrashing by Pep Guardiola's men on Wednesday. It wasn't just the defeat that rankled; rather it was the way the team capitulated, a carbon-copy of the 5-0 FA Cup drubbing at the beginning of January.

Those who like to see their football in a more technical fashion have pointed out that the larger pitch at the London Stadium actually helps a team like City.
