West
Ham manager Slaven Bilic says he is "not worried" but is "realistic"
about his future after the Hammers lost 3-0 to Brighton at London
Stadium.
The home fans booed throughout and thousands left the
ground early following Brighton's third goal, which sealed the visitors'
first away win of the season.West Ham slipped to 17th in the table and will drop into the relegation zone if Leicester beat Swansea on Saturday.
"The speculation was here before," said Bilic.
"I'm manager of the team. I don't want to hide behind anything. It's my responsibility and it's up to the board."
Brighton took the lead after 10 minutes when the unmarked Glenn Murray headed in Pascal Gross' free-kick.
Moments before the break Jose Izquierdo curled past Joe Hart from distance, despite the England goalkeeper getting a strong hand to the ball.
Murray added his second from the penalty spot in the 75th minute after he was fouled by Pablo Zabaleta.
Although they dominated possession, West Ham had only two shots on target, long-range efforts from Pedro Obiang and Manuel Lanzini.
Chris Hughton's Brighton, who were brilliant throughout, climbed to 10th in the table.
