Potter Out

[THUNDERCLINT]

Had enough of this arogrant no mark now.  

11 games, 27% win ratio and 0.66 goals per game.

Either the break clause is true or this flake quits otherwise were proper fucked.

[Jean-Luc Paul Goddard]

We did win at Arsenal and we had 60% possession at Anfield, you would NEVER have had that under Moyes...

I think he is trying to get us to press more than under Moyes and it is working in patches but not at all consistently. 

We never had 60% possession at Anfield. We had 45%, and that is actually a bit less than Moyes' team had at Anfield 2 years ago.

Generally speaking we do have more possession now, but we do fuck all with it so the only benefit to our ball hogging is that it gives the opposition less time with the ball, so we concede less than we might do if we actually took a risk and tried to score ourselves.

As far as pressing goes we're winning possession in the final third less often than we did under Lopetegui.

[nychammer]

I’ve not seen one of our games under Potter and thought ‘I can see where he’s going with this team’.

Which gives me zero confidence that he’ll change this mess.

I'm not happy but I will I disagree on that at least for now. We've had some impressive performances in places without getting the results. We did win at Arsenal and we had 60% possession at Anfield, you would NEVER have had that under Moyes.  I know there has been some real shit like yesterday that has me scratching my head too, but I think he is trying to get us to press more than under Moyes and it is working in patches but not at all consistently. I think Moyes got the most out of this lot by setting up the way he did and when it worked it worked well. Potters 'out' here is the obvious limitations with the squad he has to work with. He will get a summer transfer window to stamp his own mark on the team, so in a sense the limiting factor will be how much the club is willing to pony up and sign the right players that we have failed to do for 2 or 3 seasons now. 

IF we are still floundering in October then YES I will be whole heartedly behind replacing him. 

[southbankbornnbred]

The Fullkrug interview is the first time this season that anybody has given an honest assessment of anything at West Ham.

And no doubt he’ll get told to stay schtum in future.

I’ve stopped listening to Potter’s interviews. He’s just full of piss and hot air. Talks a lot without ever saying anything meaningful. Like a mid-level manager in a council planning department.

[Russ of the BML]

I am with Alfs. I do genuinely believe that Potter deserves a well backed transfer window and a full pre-season to set up for next season. But, frankly, I am clinging onto that view by my fingernails. 

Once again, Potter has a chance to show some balls, and once again just comes across as a loser. His attitude and approach are woefully off the required level.... But, he has inherited a squad with so many holes and weaknesses that is so unbalanced, for me, he has a get out. 

As Adsiron very eloquently put below - This is Sullivan's mess. It was Sullivan's choice to hire Lope (instead of Amorim) to clean up the mess left by Moyes. And it was Sullivan's choice to hire Potter to clean up the mess of Lope. It's just that, right now, like Lope before him, Potter isn't making a very good job of cleaning up the mess made by the previous manager. 

So Sullivan needs to back Potter and give him the funds to bring his players in to help clear up the mess and get us back being competitive. Come the summer, if he gets the players he wants and a good pre-season and then in October we are still floundering, then Sullivan needs to being in his next cleaner.

So I was right all along that we should have stuck with Moyes.

As for twoleftfeet, he seems to have a massive hard on on this ludicrous idea that I am a Spurs fan. The bloke is a cսnt!

No you weren’t you desperate AIDS ridden prick.

Moyes last half a season was equally as shit as anything Lopetegui & Potter have served up.

[THUNDERCLINT]

If he shits himself this much when 1 - 0 up against the bottom team in the league when there is no pressure at all, I dread to think what's going to happen next season when he has to get points on the board to keep us up.

The signs have been there. The disgrace of the last half hour against 10 men at Arsenal. We got North of our 18 yard line 4 or 5 times. Crossed the half way line about once and had about 15 touches of the ball. Total coward.

He needs to go.

We beat Arsenal you fucking spurs mong cսnt.

We did, and after they went down to ten men instead of getting their faces, we, like your mother, just bent over and took it dry.

[fraser]

It's odd that the likes of feet and some others saying we should back him and give him time, yet they were very vocal very early about wanting Lop out, yet this bloke is doing worse.. 

Feet demanded he was sacked now anybody doing the same is a spurs cսnt, he's definitely not all there. 

Spurs fans are massive cunts but feet definitely is a bigger one

[Maverick180180]

Twoleftfeet - without any fishing emojis or accusations of being a spurs fan, I’d like to hear your opinion of Sullivan’s appointment of Lopetegui? What’s your take on it?

[Adsiron]

Who decided that Potter was an improvement on Lopetegui?
Who decided that Lopetegui was an improvement over Steidten's choice of Amorim?
Who decided to let Steidten go after blaming him for 2 poor signings (Guilherem & Fullkrug) who are now regularly starting to feature well?
Who appointed Moyes as an upgrade on Pellegrini after rejecting him first time around?
Who appointed PL Champion Pellegrini and managed to turn him into a 2nd season failure so sacked him?
Who appointed Moyes for a 6 month save our season then decided he wasn't good enough so let him go?
Who appointed Bilic for a great season only to sack him 2nd season after letting our star player go?
Who made fans suffer 4 seasons of Sam Allardyce after promising a world class team in a world class stadium?   
who appointed Avram Grant in preference to Zola who struggled his first season of management quite well without any money to spend?

You'd certainly want to sack the serial loser for such incompetence wouldn't you? Oh yes that would be David Sullivan...

[Eerie Decent]

Who was available in January?
We know what we need but it’s getting the right ones
More likely in the summer, no?


 

You're right, in the world of football, a Premier League club with a network of people behind the scenes, couldn't identify some quick players in January.

They could identify Evan Ferguson, though.

But you're labouring a point here that's secondary to the manager. You annoying cսnt.

[Sir Alf]

Im trying in desperation to stick with my original position of allowing Potter the summer window, preseason and a couple of months before making a final call on him but thats gonna happen anyway with our owner.  There are 2? crumbs of comfort. We concede less and keep possession of the ball better although exclusively in our own half. Is this latter crumb actually an improvement? But thats it. Some of the players we have have perhaps lost belief in what Potter wants if they had any in the first place. Has Alvarez downed tools or genuinely injured?

We should have lost 1-3 or 4 based on the chances they missed yesterday.  Based on that game we are arguably the worst team in the division.

Nothing left to be said ( even me ), nothing we can do other than not renew season tickets and protest but whats the point? The next appointment off the scrap heap will be as bad, perhaps worse.  

We need a miracle summer transfer window which woth Sullivan as de facto DOF and chief negotiator is in the “pigs might fly” category.

[Eerie Decent]

Who would you have bought in January to address these obvious problems?
No excuses not to have players sourced & in the door July 1

I've already told you, a fast dynamic midfielder and a fast forward. Not Evan Ferguson, who he wanted but won't play.

But again, let's not let that get in the way of the core issues here. We have a shit chairman, and not the best squad, but we are not one of the worst squads to ever grace the Premier League. That's the standard this manager has taken us to. We are not just shit, but we are also more boring now than we've ever been, and we've had Allardyce & Moyes as managers.

[Maverick180180]

Kumb is a blinding read this morning 
general consensus is that West Ham do indeed have the worst squad outside of the bottom 3
which then would mean we sacked Lopetegui for overachieving

I didn’t have a problem in not trying to bringing players in in January when few are available…. unless you are Villa in the Champions league with Ascencio & Rashford
But it means we have had 6 months to see the massive holes & to line up players
But will we see endless pursuits of players who aren’t coming (Angel Gomes , David maybe) & lots of ‘we tried’? Probably

 

I do have a problem when there are some glaring issues in the squad, pace being one.

We needed a quick mobile midfielder, and a quick forward. A fucking blind man could see it. Anyway, it's by the by, this squad is good enough to be better than being as shit as 3 of the worst teams you'll ever see in the Prem.

The Wolves manager took them from being down with those 3 shittest teams ever, to making Wolves a good attacking team who try to win games. Their players all looked completely disinterested and not bothered, now they are giving it their absolute all for their new manager.

Beige Graham couldn't inspire a Labrador to chase a tennis ball.

Greyham could make the Labrador slowly nudge the ball sideway and backwards slower than your tortoise.

As bad as the performance was we were still likely to get three points before he sabotaged it 

I think Fullkrug is talking shit when he says that's not what the manager wants, his subs said something entirely different. 

Indeed, we were shit but winning until clownfraud Potter's yellow streak shone through and he went ultra-coward.

If Fulle is telling the truth it means the Potter cսnt has already lost the dressing room.

[Maverick180180]

Sits rock bottom out of every manager that has ever managed West Ham for win ratio, loss ratio and goals per game 
that takes some doing
