West Ham will hold crisis talks with Slaven Bilic on Monday following their humiliating defeat at home to Arsenal on Saturday.

The 48-year-old Croatian’s job is understood to be hanging by a thread with the Hammers board furious at the manner of the team’s surrender.

West Ham - who face high-flying Liverpool next - are a point off the relegation zone and winless in their last six, losing four.

The club will decide today whether to persist with Bilic or to give him the two games after next week’s Liverpool fixture - both at home to Burnley and Hull - to save his job.

A superb hat-trick from Alexis Sanchez was the highlight of Arsenal’s 5-1 win. But Bilic slammed his players’ commitment and claimed afterwards they were “lacking intensity - even in training”.

West Ham are concerned that the club could struggle to attract quality reinforcements if their form does not take a significant upturn during the next month.

Mirrorfootball exclusively revealed last season that the board had held back on a new deal for Bilic, despite his impressive first campaign, because they were concerned that he could have been a “one-season wonder”.

He still has 18 months left to run on his current contract.

It is believed the Hammers will now propose changes to Bilic’s backroom staff in a bid to shake up their underachieving stars.
