West Ham boss Slaven Bilic has proved to be an instant success in the Premier League, guiding the Hammers to the brink of a European place during his first season in charge.

But while everything is clicking on the pitch for Bilic, it would appear that the passionate Croatian is still getting the hang of his post-match media responsibilities.

When quizzed by BBC 5Live following his side's 3-1 win over Watford, Bilic used a spicy turn of phrase to describe his side's efficiency in the box.

"We weren't taking the p*** in front of goal," he replied when asked if they should have scored more, as he sent the reporters scrambling for cover.

The Hammers did manage three goals though, with Andy Carroll netting his sixth goal in six games.
