West Ham United boss Sam Allardyce is confident of keeping his job after their defeat to Tottenham.
Debutant Eric Dier pounced in the 90th minute to hand new boss Mauricio Pochettino victory in his first competitive Spurs outing at Upton Park.
Mark Noble's missed penalty summed up a galling afternoon for Allardyce.
"If they're going to do it after one game they might as well have done it at the end of last season," said Allardyce after West Ham spurned a host of half chances.
"Why wait until now? Why do the whole pre-season we've done, create what we've tried to create and buy what we've tried to buy under my stewardship and then do it after one game?"
