i hope in Bilic we have a manager that finally goes into some of these away games with a plan to win the game instead of this defeatist approach i've been seeing from the likes of allardyce, zola etc. yes the teams are tough, yes they have better players than us but please for goodness sake lets give it a go at liverpool away, arsenal away, chelsea etc etc. we had zola who talked the team to defeat before we'd kicked off, then grant who was clueless all round, and then allardyce who simply shut up shop or attempted to every away game. i want a manager to work out a way to play well away and at least give it a go so please Bilic get this sorted. southampton and swansea is the example i'd like to follow….they go out and give it a go regardless of who they play. why all this fear factor and lack of ideas from managers? I'm actually looking forward to the big away games, a new manager brings fresh hope….will it last? we will see.

Couldn't agree more! The defeatist/ultra-defensive approach not only seldom ends up with any points, but I think this engenders a defeatist psychology in the players, which tends to affect their play in other games as well. I don't expect us to go Hell for leather in away games against the 'big' sides, but I do expect us to be set up to hit them hard and with numbers when we do attack. This appears to have been the 'Bilic way' in the past. Just hope we can get enough pace in our side to do it.
yep , agree , lets make west

Spot on dicksy, we show em to much respect that familiar sinking feeling coming up against such teams away when will it end, 52 years now at anfield ,myself and Hammer fans, whatever their age, are unlikely to be shocked at a loss,simply appalling record

but I'm coming round to the fact and you could be right
