After a 11th place finish last season, West Ham spent generously in the transfer market, to bring in Javier Hernandez, Marko Arnautovic and Joe Hart. West Ham started the 2017/18 season with a 4-0 defeat to Manchester United.

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?
