West Ham manager Slaven Bilic upset blowing point

West Ham manager Slaven Bilic was upset after defeat at Bournemouth.

Bilic criticised his players for not holding out for a point after their 3-2 defeat.

"If it's 2-1 to them you have to risk it, and sometimes they score on the counter, but at 2-2 we should have been more composed at the back," he said.

"But we weren't. We left the right side open and they are good on the ball. It was four against three and they took the opportunity.

"We are disappointed, especially as when you play away and score twice you expect to go home with something.

"We showed determination, the problem was not that. It was at the end. We took risks, we were playing with an extremely offensive line-up.

"But after we equalised we should have been a bit more clever."
