The referee was very bad today, says angry Bilic

Slaven Bilic thinks “the decisions were big time against” West Ham during their 2-2 draw against West Brom on Saturday.

Sofiane Feghouli cancelled out Nacer Chadli’s early opener for the Baggies before Manuel Lanzini looked to have won it for the hosts but there was still time for Jonny Evans to head home an injury-time equaliser.

And Bilic was livid __with the officiating following the match __with him feeling that “every” decision went against his side.

“The way we played makes me proud and happy,” Bilic said. “We should have, could have scored more but we scored enough to win the game.

“To concede like this, it is very frustrating.

“The decisions were big time against us, every one of them. It is hard for referees but when you are on the wrong side of all decisions it makes you very, very angry. The referee was very bad today.

“We should enjoy tonight but now we have that bitter taste in our mouths. We didn’t deserve anything but a win tonight.

“To be fair I am already big time punished with what happened in the game. I don’t think that I crossed the line, it was nothing personal. It was the fourth or fifth decision which went against us and it’s hard to get over that without reacting.”
