West Ham News: Board meets (again) with Bilic; Ogbonna upset with dropped points

Published on: 31 October 2017

West Ham boss Slaven Bilic remains under pressure after their draw with Crystal Palace.

While the Hammers have only lost two of their last nine games in all competitions, the club remains 16th in the table on just nine points.

The Mirror says Bilic desperately needs victories to ease the pressure.

West Ham directors are known to have been dismayed at the way that his team threw away a two-goal lead against struggling Palace.

Bilic held his weekly debrief with West Ham's owners on Monday with his side's impressive League Cup comeback at Tottenham last week extremely timely.

It served as evidence that the players - who themselves came from 2-0 down at half time - remain committed to his cause. But the priority for club chiefs is to move up the Premier League table quickly.

Meanwhile, Hammers defender Angelo Ogbonna was left frustrated with the Palace point.

The Italian said: “I cannot believe that we got just one point. It should be three but you know the game. We are focused for the next game.

“It's a lesson. It's a big lesson for us. We have to have to keep the ball."

“It's a defeat for us," Ogbonna added: “It's a defeat because we played well and we stayed in the game until the last minute. Everybody saw then what happened."
