Many West Ham fans on Twitter have been showing strong support for manager Slaven Bilic in the wake of the 5-1 thrashing at home to Arsenal.
The defeat continued what has been a miserable season for the injury-plagued Hammers so far, and there has been speculation that Bilic could be on his way out.
But he still has the backing of many supporters – with some urging the club’s co-owner David Gold to resist any temptation to wield the axe.
In Bilic we trust. Do not make any rash decisions, @davidgold. He’s our man. #COYI #WHUFC ⚒

I hope we don’t let Bilic go any time soon. We have to keep.the faith. I know he’ll come good if we give him time #WHUFC #coyi #WHUvAFC

People calling for Bilic’s head are morons. Who would we get in? Injuries & forced change of formation cost us #whufc #COYI

People genuinely calling for Bilic to go? State of some of our fans, utterly ridiculous #WHUFC #COYI

Slav has more heart for our club than all the owners combined. Bilic is our man-He’s one of us. Our owners are not. #coyi

Too many injuries, top players not performing, but don’t sack Bilic #COYI @davidgold

However, some fans are not convinced that Bilic will be able to turn things around.
I love Bilic, he’s passionate and loves the club but starting to question a few things. Hope he turns it round. #COYI

We need major change. Bilic has clearly lost the dressing room. Get Howe in, clear out the deadwood and buy some quality #WHUFC #COYI

Bilic questioning the intensity of players in training, very honest, but surely his job to get things going? #COYI

I’ll continue to back bilic but seems like his days are numbered ? #COYI ⚒
