Former West Ham defender has been airing his opinions on the weekend’s events.
West Ham manager Slaven Bilic
West Ham had a galling weekend as they allowed Tottenham to stage a late comeback in the London derby at White Hart Lane.
Two late goals from Harry Kane saw Spurs win 3-2 and inflict a dispiriting loss on the Hammers, but former defender Daniel Gabbidon has given his backing to manager Slaven Bilic.
The loss leaves West Ham in 17th place in the Premier League, just one point above the relegation zone.
Commenting on Twitter, former Wales international Gabbidon believes the Hammers should stick with manager Slaven Bilic, rather than panicking.
A win would have given the team a huge confidence boost after an underwhelming start to the season.
While the manner of the defeat to rivals Tottenham will rile everybody connected with West Ham, if they can harness the frustration from failing to get a win they felt they deserved, then they could turn it into a positive.

One ongoing problem is the failure of the club’s strikers to fire, with midfielders Michail Antonio and Manuel Lanzini scoring the team’s goals.
In his discussions with supporters last night, Gabbidon went on to comment that West Bromwich Albion striker Saido Berahino is a player he would happily see leading the line for West Ham.
Berahino’s contract at the Hawthorns expires at the end of this current season, and bookmakers SkyBet list him as 20/1 to sign as a free agent with West Ham.
The former England under-21 international once came close to signing with Tottenham, and if the Hammers did move to pick him up, that may be one way to get one over on their rivals.
