The new West Ham manager masterminded a win against
Arsenal in their Premier League opener but results since have been
disappointing and there were boos after losing to Bournemouth
The Hammers opened their Premier League campaign with a stunning victory at Arsenal but have since lost consecutive matches following Saturday's 4-3 home defea by newly promoted Bournemouth on Saturday.
The Croatian boss, who replaced Sam Allardyce on a three-year deal this summer, is aware that he must address West Ham's form, having already seen the club bow out of the Europa League in the third qualifying round.
"I am under pressure," Bilic told the press. "That comes with the territory and that is why I have to turn it around.
"We were again second-best [against Bournemouth] and I don't like this situation. Playing like this, we can't expect to win many games.
Asked about boos from supporters, the 46-year-old replied: "I can't blame the fans. They are behind us, to be fair, in the first half and the second half but what do you expect if we are two down against a team?
"Okay, they are a good team who got promoted and, to be fair, it could have been worse at 2-0 down. The reactions from the fans were normal. The expectations are high anywhere you go."
