Angelo Ogbonna Comes Up With Hilarious Excuse For Liking Bilic Out Post

Slaven Bilic is under mounting pressure following West Ham's awful start to the Premier League, so, naturally he's in risk of losing his job.

The usual *insert manager's name* accompanied with the word 'out' hashtag is the pre-cursor to something ominous.

And following West Ham's 3-0 defeat to Brighton on Friday night, #BilicOut was doing the rounds.

The Seagulls' recorded an away victory courtesy of a brace from Glenn Murray and a sublime strike from Jose Izquierdo.

West Ham sit precariously in 17th, level on points with Stoke City who occupy a spot in the relegation zone.

Even though he didn't feature Angelo Ogbonna has been the talk of the game following his hilarious antics on social media.

He supposedly 'liked' a comment on Instagram which read #BilicOut.

However, there's an explanation behind him liking the post.

Here's what he posted after his social media activity surfaced.

He wrote: "i liked west ham post . Not your comment. Because your comment is stupid . My baby was playing with the phone and he touched your comment . So don't be too much happy"

Interesting.

Needless to say, it got the West Ham fans talking:

Are you buying Ogbonna's excuse?
