Scott Parker

I've never worked with him, come across him a couple of times, but just from looking at his teams, Southampton and today, you can tell that he's a top, top manager.

Well, it's definitely a blip, and it's just how quick you can bounce back from it, really.

But it's just right there.

A London derby 4-1, it hurts a little bit more as well, to be honest.

So they need to try and regroup a little bit.

I didn't think there was a lot in the game.

For the first 15 minutes, the game plan looked quite well.

Like we said earlier, the spaces between the back four and midfield were quite condensed, and it looked like it was a little bit of an early boxing match in terms of just trying to weigh each other up.

But...

Goals are important in games, and as soon as the first goes in, then really it was a tough, tough afternoon for West Ham.

Yeah, 100%.

It's everything.

Obviously, like you said, Olympic Stadium coming as well.

And it was probably a surprise when Bilic came in.

A little bit of a risk, I would probably have said to him, would you not?

Like you said, you know what you get with Sam Allardyce.

But he's come in and done a fantastic job, got some early results.

which were probably a little bit false on the scale of things and where they were sitting in the league.

But you know what?

They're a mid-table team and they have some very, very good players.
