West Ham United are currently in 15th place at the Premier League table.
West Ham United boss Slaven Bilic was left angered when asked whether he was surprised by his side’s decline this season at his latest press conference, which was covered by Football.London.
West Ham showed a great deal of promise during the 2015/16 campaign, when they finished in seventh place.
However, the Hammers have found things much more difficult this time around.
West Ham are currently in 15th place in the Premier League table, after what has been a disappointing campaign.
Bilic was asked whether he was shocked whether West Ham’s demise had taken him aback, as he had a similar set of players available to him, as he did last year.
But he fired back: “It’s not as it was. If you have a look at how many players we have had available throughout the season, the difference to last year is huge.
“But I don’t want to talk about that.
“What you just said it is not that it isn’t true, it’s just the opposite, we have been without many players in positions where they help you to win games, nowhere near last year.”
West Ham’s next match comes against in-form Tottenham Hotspur on Friday evening.
If the Hammers are able to win, they are likely to end Spurs’ chances of catching Chelsea in the title race.
