Slaven Bilic prepared to be unpopular among West Ham supporters with his decision-making

West Ham boss Slaven Bilic says he is prepared to make unpopular decisions if he believes they are the right ones for the club.

Bilic has guided the Hammers to seven points from as many games at the start of the new season but the 49-year-old has twice found himself the target of boos from disgruntled fans, with some calling for a change in management.

Javier Hernandez also appeared unhappy to be replaced during the 1-0 win over Swansea but Bilic insists he will stick by his decisions at the risk of upsetting both players and fans.

"It's better to be clapped than booed, but at the end of the day I have to trust my decisions," he said.

"Those decisions gave us what we wanted. But it doesn't have to be that the next time we will make the same decision.

"Nobody is [undroppable], as a manager a big part of your job is to make decisions. Is it before a game? Is it during training? Are they football decisions or non-football decisions because of the group of people you are leading?

"The game decisions are very important ones. They are crucial. In the last game me and my staff took the decision because it was the right decision to make. We don't know how it will end; you never know, but it ended really good."

West Ham travel to Burnley on Saturday with almost a fully fit squad, with only James Collins absent.

Hernandez, Andy Carroll, Andre Ayew, Michail Antonio and Diafra Sakho will all be all vying for a starting place up front.

"I bet you if I ask you the question would you play Andy? You would say yes. Would you play Chicharito? You would say yes," said Bilic.

"Some of you would put someone else in also, either Ayew or Michail Antonio. It's difficult to put them all on the pitch.

"I've had both ends, when I had no options and very rarely when we have all the options. This is much better. That is much better to have this kind of situation than to have to put your midfielder to centre-forward."
