Bilic - We are a different force

 

  • Bilic wants to make amends for the 4-2 defeat back in September
  • The Hammers manager says his team will have a different look
  • Bilic wants to see his side get straight back on the winning trail

Slaven Bilic is determined to make amends for the disappointing home defeat against Watford back in September and says his team will have a completely different look on Saturday.

The Hammers looked strong favourites to secure all three points against the Hornets after Michail Antonio's brace had fired them into a two-goal lead.

But the home side suffered a nightmare end to the first half when they conceded two goals in the final five minutes and went on to lose the game 4-2.

Following a successful trip to Dubai last week, Bilic say his players will be looking to gain some revenge over Watford and knows they will be a totally different force at Vicarage Road.

Bilic said: “Yes we are a different team. We are the same team but a lot has changed. At the beginning of September we had so many players injured and some not totally fit.

“We had to push them. We had no other options but to put them in from the start, ideally it would have been better if they had played 45 or 60mins.

“Now it is totally different. I see it not only in results but in training, in the restaurant, on the coach, we are in much better shape now.”
