To say West Ham’s form has been poor since the start of the season is about as understated as reckoning Donald Trump goes a little over the top with his tweets.
With rumours swirling before kick-off that David Moyes could be about to parachute James Bond-like into the London Stadium managerial hotshot, West Ham manager Slaven Bilić knew he needed a result before tonight’s Premier League showdown with Liverpool.
However, what followed was the same-old-story, as they were ripped apart by The Reds. First half goals from Mohamed Salah and Joel Matip had Liverpool 2-0 ahead at the break.
Manuel Lanzini gave the home side some hope 15 minutes into the second period, but in typical West Ham fashion this season they coughed up a third to Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain less than a minute later to end any hope of a comeback. Salah popped up with a quarter of an hour to go to net his second and seal an awful night for Hammers fans with Liverpool claiming a 4-1 victory.
Moyes is now massively odds on to be the next man to take over after the Croatian at 4/11, with former Man City boss Roberto Mancini next in the betting at 4/1. For tonight though, West Ham supporters just want to vent their frustrations at Bilic and they let it all out at the clubs Twitter account the final whistle:

It's okay asking Bilic to leave but there is so much ego and unbalance in that dressing room. Hugely demanding job for anyone. #WHUFC
