Then, they went on to lose against Southampton and Newcastle. At the end of week 7, they stand 15th in the table with just 7 points after 2 wins.
Injury to Lanzini and Bilic’s reluctance to play Carroll and Chicharito together is costing West Ham. Defensively, they've conceded 13 goals in 7 games and have never looked solid at the back.
A last-gasp win against Swansea may have given him a lifeline for now, but who knows what will happen if he loses next couple of games?
