Bilic: Spurs win gave West Ham a lot of confidence

Palace are bottom of the table with just one win in nine matches.

"The manager knows the players are behind him and will give everything, not just for him but for themselves too, because we have to wear the shirt with pride".

West Ham United manager Slaven Bilic was an early favorite to win the sack race, but nearly a full three months into the season and three managers have already been relieved of their duties as Frank de Boer (Crystal Palace), Craig Shakespeare (Leicester City) and Ronald Koeman (Everton) are all gone from their posts.

Crystal Palace will be without striker Christian Benteke for another four to five weeks as he continues his recovery from a knee ligament injury, manager Roy Hodgson said on Thursday.

Former England manager Hodgson said he was unsure whether he coped with the stresses and strains of management any better now than when he first took up coaching, 41 years ago. I wanted the experience.

Claude Puel is an interesting acquisition for Leicester, I thought he did well at Southampton considering he had to work with a side that lost Sadio Mane, Graziano Pelle and Victor Wanyama to name but a few.

"I believe I can make a difference. I took the job, that brings pressure and I will have to deal with that".

Bilic said it was hard to recover from a slow start in the Premier League, but feels the Eagles have made progress since Roy Hodgson replaced the sacked Frank de Boer as manager.

"You can not compare those two things", he said.

From a player's perspective in dealing with this current manager merry-go-round, you simply have to get used to it.

"It is an enormous responsibility because a lot of money is involved".

And Bilic has apparently decided that the pair have done enough to stay in his team for this weekend's match.

"Of course you are representing a club which interests a lot of people".

"That is 60 million people you are representing there", he said.
