West Ham United manager Slaven Bilic has bemoaned his side’s lack of creativity.
Slaven Bilic’s comments on the lack of creativity in West Ham United’s squad may just hint at what will be on his shopping list in January.
Bilic has recently suggested that Manuel Lanzini is the only player at his disposal, who he classes as a play maker.
He said, to the the Daily Star: “We’ve been missing Manu so far this season and he’s probably the only player we have to create [chances], and at least to keep the ball a little bit more.
“[He is] a player to play in the hole, between the lines, and that was a big difference when Manu came on.”
It may just suggest that Bilic wants to add more flair and creativity to his West Ham line-up in the new year.
Whether Bilic will be provided with funds remains to be seen, but to be so reliant on one player is never good for any team.
West Ham have had to perform without Lanzini for much of the season so far, due to injury, and they have badly missed the Argentine.
The Hammers have been disappointingly poor to date this season, with Bilic’s side struggling.
West Ham are currently sat in 15th place in the Premier League table, with Bilic under pressure to find the winning formula sooner rather than later.
West Ham are next in action in two weekends’ time, when they take on Burnley at Turf Moor.
