Make the Kraut the player manager right now.


 

Can't be any worse than his Premier League record as a Striker (when he aint leathering the dressing room to bits).
The stats don't make good reading, but there isn't a striker on the planet who could score regularly in the Premier League with zero service from midfield

If this is true (which I'm highly sceptical off ) then surely Potters toast

Grassing on your own players to the old bill ?

Kevin Nolan might of been handy in this situation

True, and considering we've had him, Stuart Pearce and Julian Dicks all hanging off the manager in recent years, Potter has put that nerd McKaulay there, what use is he? Or the sidesweep Noble begging players to calm down in case Sugar Daddy Dave hears about it, we've got a bunch of melts pretending to be bosses of real fellas like Fullkrug.

He'd probably have improved our midfield situation if he had his boots with him.

Update:

”officials confirm no arrests made for “minor incident” in Sunderland AFC stadium post game. West Ham team coach departs without manager Graham Potter onboard. No indication now if scheduled or not. We’ve reached out to both clubs for comment. ”


Probably nothing. Let’s not get our hopes up.

Good early possession…

Few early goal chances…

Gave up in second half…

Potter changes tactics and formation…

Defence falls apart…

Keeper does a Roberto…

No fight…No creativity…

No pride…

HR manager needs replacing…

Long season ahead…

Potter OUT…

It's true, Cock Piss had an episode, he was threatening Brady with a large round cheese on a fork and offering Sullivan lapdances for a 2nd season.

Our midfield is not fit for purpose.

West Ham are now the fourth team to concede 900 Premier League goals. However, we have done it in by far fewer matches. Nobody will take this record from us.

It was the lack of motivation and passion that got me. Potter must tell them that the slowest of passing and build up for 20 minutes is fine as long as we create one chance in that time
