The West Ham United boss says his side has been affected by a cramp this season.
Speaking to ESPN, West Ham United manager Slaven Bilic has claimed he wants to get rid of the cramp that has affected his side this season.
The Hammers have endured a poor first half of the campaign and currently find themselves in the wrong half of the table.
They are 14th in the table, having managed to pick up just four wins so far this season.
One of those came on Wednesday evening as they secured a 1-0 victory over Burnley at the London Stadium.
The game proved to be a tense affair between the two sides, especially in the second half, and Bilic says he wants to get rid of the ‘cramp’ that caused it.
“It was a very important win and very hard fought,” he told ESPN.
“I have praised the players for the three points but in the second half, I saw what I call that cramp when you are afraid of winning. It happens to clubs who are underachieving. I don’t want it.”
Bilic will certainly be praying that his team can build on this win and continue moving up the table in the coming weeks.
December presents them with the perfect chance to do so as they take on Hull City and Swansea City in their next two games, with both of those sides currently in the bottom three.
They are very winnable fixtures and should provide Bilic and his men with the chance to get rid of that ‘cramp’ that has plagued them this season.
