Surely losing at home 0-3 (or worse) to a promoted team that hasn't won away in the top flight in 34 years HAS TO BE THE LAST NAIL in the coffin for Bilic. SURELY SUGO YOU MUST SACK BILIC NOW!!!!!!!

Slav has to go, luv the mans passion but we need someone strong to come in and beat our players in to shape. We have the players but will we come January as the vultures will be circling to pick up our disgruntled players like Chico, Antonio and Lanzini.

Embarrassing!!!! Bring back all the youngsters like Reece Oxford, get Martinez and Hasb.some playing time. There is no real energy in this team.

We are getting exactly what we deserve. It comes across as the players think it's a bloody holiday camp. Didn't Sullivan say before the game he wasn't sacking bilic? Jenas saying it should be the final nail in bilics coffin. But somehow I feel we will just soldier on like a ship without a rudder, and then when the big games roll in we will be floundering in the relegation zone. What exactly do the owners think is going to happen by keeping him? So out of our winnable games we had a last minute goal to get 3 points, a draw and a humiliation. So what In theory should have been 9 points is infact 4. If we get relegated Sullivan will deserve it.

If we do get relegated,& it could well be on the cards,who is to say we would get out of the chumps...that league gets harder as the years go by,we could well get sucked into another relegation battle,then who knows!!

Surely, bottom of the table by Christmas if this type of performances continue. We should target Chris Houghton as the new manager as he worked their defence so well, and picked out the huge deficiences in our defence. Why get rid of Kouyate when he was adding a bit of pace. Obiang should have been taken off as he was poor as hell and contributed to their opening two goals with two ridiculous tackles. Arnautovic was awful and provided just one good cross. Chicharito was non existent for most of the match and really the crosses were ridiculous as there was no one at the end of it. Brighton had players that were far more composed and energetic. Our defence had very little to do as Brighton sat back and used the counter attack to knock us of our heels. Bilic has to understand that normally West Ham are the team that are absorbing the pressure tbroughout the games with other teams and when they get to be the more aggressive side, there are huge gaps that only energetic players like Antonio and Kouyate can cover. Obiang, Elbow, Ayew, and Fernandez just do not have any pace. Lanzini just gave the ball away too often and had no real rhythm with Chicharito. Pity Collins is not fit as yet as he reads those crosses and set pieces better than the rest of our defenders.

Absolute dross. We are an embarrassment once more! How can a team with this amount of quality be so poor - I know because there is no TEAM! Bilic you have to go.

but if I was in Bilics place I would know that I can't do anything to inspire the players anymore, I would resign and give the club the chance and time to get someone else in. The trouble is that his ego won't allow that to happen.

Alby I said if he was a decent guy he would resign. This bloke is NOT the bloke a lot of fans think he is. Let's just give him a little longer eh? Just can't wait for the excuses on this one.

In all my years of supporting this team, over 55 to be precise, I have never seen such a run of piss poor performances! Bilic has the ability to purchase good players and at a stroke turn them into League One candidates. He has lost the dressing room, the fans, and hopefully the owners, he has to go!

We paid ridiculous amounts for Ayew, Arnautovic and got Hart in when Adrian still is a better keeper... but for f sake we got Reid, Zabs, Chico, Antonio, Lanzini those are quality players and the rest of the team as indivduals are good players for the most part - should be able to beat a newly promoted team at home for crying out loud! Look at them when they played - throwing on kids in their teens and twenties looking like the finished article versus our veterans and big names, apl the while martinez and oxford dont get a look in! Theres no team here, we look just as bad as we habe ever done if not worse but it pains me even more to see these players of supposed quality being wasted and picking up a fat pay check for it. Absolute laughing stock we are. Bring back allardyce! Boring football maybe but at least we resembled a team under him. Feel like bilic inherited his work and has led us up the swanny with a trail of money blowing smoke up our arrises

one of the companies here in Australia pick up the championship before next season, otherwise we here will have to look at live streaming again as playing like this we will be Slavs relegated army. After that performance I don't know whether to watch the totscum game midweek or not, that's if we get it.

Brighton totally deserved that, work as a unit and you'll get results regardless of how good individuals supposedly are.We have a squad of some very good players but Bilic just does not know how to get them playing as a team.He has had long enough to try,his time is up.If the board want to keep him on then fine...but lets see how they feel when the stadium is half empty for our next home games

Bilic has got to go. That's first. The more difficult problem, and it must now be admitted to be a PROBLEM, is SUGO, Brady and the whole London Stadium fiasco. With each embarrassment it gets worse.

I had a bad feeling we were treating Brighton with an aire of ambivalence and contempt ,Bilic saying all week it was a headache having a full panel to choose from ,all we have to do is pass go and we collect 3 points,all you have to do is look at Jamie Carrighers interview with Ant as the players were arriving ,all laughing. Andd joking about his intended goal celebration ,"whats it guna be "says Jamie "youll have to wait and see "says Ant ,talk about taking the opposition for granted

How many times? Cresswell as a left back with Arthur attacking in front of him, forget Anoutivic as he is offering nothing! Two goals and two assists in that position and a goal the game before so why doesn’t Bilic bloody see it? Resign and leave now as you’ve lost the fans it’s not acceptable.

I still feel that masuaku is our best threat down the left side,but hes not a f*ckin defender,we can all see that...Arnie should never put a westham shirt on ever again imo,there is something seriously wrong with him...& yes slav just resign,you know it makes sense!!

Too many unanswered questions. I think we were poor but all credit to Brighton, they did a number on us! They sucked up the pressure in the first five minutes and then as usual we allow the opposition to play, bed in and generally take the pi**. Why? Because I guess Bilic and is merrymen have not installed a work ethic to stay tight and chase. How often do we see us not win the loose ball? We huff and puff and lack pace, direction and the killer pass. Where is the creativity? Lanzini, joking, how bad was that first free kick? Little Pee… is he bothered? Im feed up with hearing about service, well I saw quite a few good crosses in the box with mr flat foot looking wanting / no sign of him. Play it to his feet and he’s found wanting. He wants the ball in front of him looking for a tap in… well we already have a muppet for that called Ayew. Don’t get me started on Arnautovic, another complete waste of money. What exactly is his position.. winger?... too slow for that!That all said, how can we gather a bunch of highly paid professionals that on paper can loose to a time that couldn’t buy an away win? Sorry to say but its got to be a lack of man management. Good night Mr Bilic
