West Brom boss Slaven Bilic relaxed over future after Man City draw

For City, it was another frustrating night after their flat performance in the goalless Manchester derby on Saturday.

Slaven Bilic admitted his future is out of his hands as speculation that he could be sacked by West Brom continued even after they took a point off an under-par Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.

The 1-1 draw looked like offering the under-pressure Bilic a lifeline in his 100th Premier League game as a manager, but reports after the match indicated a move could still be made on Wednesday by the West Brom hierarchy.

“I’m very calm. I love my job. I’m here and calm,” said Bilic. “To be fair, I’m not bothered. I’m doing my job. I’m enjoying it. I’m working hard for myself, for my staff, for the players, for the club, that’s all.

For City, it was another frustrating night after their flat performance in the goalless Manchester derby on Saturday.

Guardiola’s side are on 20 points and have scored only 18 goals in 12 league games this season, a far cry from the free-flowing performance that have marked the Catalan’s time in charge to date.

“That’s the reality,” Guardiola said of his side’s struggles.

“We were able to control things, not conceding much, their goal was a deflection – we were better in all departments but struggling to score.

“We control the games but we cannot do it. You have to shoot one ball inside the net.

“We cannot score goals. It’s difficult for managers to find solutions.”
