West Ham boss Slaven Bilic claims he will talk to the board regarding his position after the 4-1 loss against Liverpool
The Hammers were shocking at the London Stadium in front of their home fans as they suffered yet another humiliating defeat
SLAVEN BILIC has revealed he will talk to the West Ham board after the Hammers suffered an embarrassing 4-1 defeat against Liverpool.
The Croatian is under intense pressure at the London Stadium after his side yet again put on defensive horror show against Jurgen Klopp's men.
Speaking to BT Sport after the match, Bilic said: "We started well for the first 20 minutes, exactly what we wanted but then we conceded two goals, very cheap.
"We tried to change the shape and be more open in the second half, we scored but they are so good on the counter attack. It is a big defeat for us.
"It's not a lack of effort. We should have defended better, it's no excuse to concede from your own corner kick.
"At this level if you are 2-0 down so early it's not game over but it's very difficult to come back.
"I have to talk to the chairman, we are going to discuss this defeat. It's not the first one, it's the second in a row in home. It is a very difficult situation for me.
"I always believe in myself, I wouldn't be here otherwise."
When asked whether he still has the club's backing, Bilic said: "It's hard for me to talk about that now."
Speaking on BT Sport after the match, former Reds ace Steven Gerrard suggested the only way West Ham can move forward is to replace Bilic.

He said: "On that evidence you’ve got a manager in big, big trouble. The owners have a decision to make. This ground has emptied.
"There are more Liverpool fans than West Ham fans. West Ham are a great club with unbelievable support but they deserve more.
"The players are not giving enough and they are letting their manager down. Looking at that it would be a ‘yes’ (to Bilic going) from me."
While his former England international team-mate Frank Lampard claimed there is a 'toxic atmosphere' at his old club.
He said: "The players and performance level and energy and desire wasn’t enough. If the players carry on with that attitude they’ll stay at the bottom of the table.
"There is a real toxic atmosphere around the club and something has to be done."
