West Brom's return to the Premier League couldn't have gotten off to a worse start as they find themselves winless after seven matches.

The Baggies sit third from bottom on just three points - and with basement boys Burnley holding a game in hand, it could be ever so much worse.

It's thought that the pressure is now on Slaven Bilic and his position as manager of the Midlands outfit, perhaps quite unfairly given it's Spurs before the international break, and then Manchester United after it.

You'd imagine the benchmark for those two matches would be two points, even if they had been unbeaten thus far.

As we have already mentioned here at Football FanCast, the Croatian really needs to deploy his star man, Matheus Pereira, through the middle. After all, he provided five goals and 13 assists playing in the number ten role during their promotion-winning campaign.

To enable this to happen, Bilic needs to find a viable option to play on the right flank and he can take his pick from Kyle Edwards, Matty Phillips, Callum Robinson and Kamil Grosicki.

There are serious doubts over the first two names and their suitability to this level of football whilst Robinson, who joined permanently this summer, is primarily a left-sided option that can also play up front.

That leaves an interesting question mark next to Poland's recent hat-trick hero, Grosicki. Indeed, the 32-year-old was on the verge of leaving the club on the domestic deadline but his loan move to Nottingham Forest fell through.

Although it was a switch that the veteran winger didn't really want to make as he wanted to stay and fight for his place, as revealed in an interview with Sportowefakty. That's what Bilic needs, fighters.

He's since been linked with a January move to Championship rivals Middlesbrough (per the Sunday Mirror (02/11, page 65) - but let's try him out in the Premier League first, Bilic.

Grosicki has only ever played 15 times in the English top-flight and that was during Hull City's relegation campaign. He still managed to deliver five assists, which is a pretty decent return.

His form for the Yorkshire outfit newcomers, delivering 26 goals and 22 assists from two-and-a-half Championship seasons, was enough to convince Luke Dowling to strike in January.

Former Tigers teammate Jackson Irvine once dubbed the Poland star "unplayable" and claimed that "you can’t afford to give him that much pace to run in behind" whilst ex-boss Nigel Adkins described him as a "massive threat to anyone."

Whilst Grosicki is still at the Hawthorns, Bilic ought to utilise him, starting this weekend.
