Bilic under pressure...

We know the West Ham owners aren't shy in coming forward to make comments on the current state of the club and it seems they aren't happy.

Should Slav be worried? Seems popular with the fans but they aren't the ones making the decisions of course...

Personally after a slow start and Payet saga think they are having a steady season but guess mid-table isn't enough for a team looking to big progress.

Their expectations feel a tad off to me. I know the owners speak a good game in regards to ambition, but it was always going to take time moving to a new ground (With a noticeably worse atmosphere) and somewhere away teams will actually enjoy playing.

Getting a huge stadium doesn't automatically propel a mid-table team into the top 6. After all, they're still playing Mark Noble in central midfield.

They've not had the best of seasons, and Billic probably has underperformed, but looking at it rationally, man for man are they much, or any better than, for example, Southampton or Stoke? I'm not sure.
