West Ham Online

Well dolne to the bloke.  Unfortunately I didn't actually see his interview but imo he said some things that needed saying. There's clearly a divided camp and so I guess the question needs to be asked why the players who are, according to Fullkrug, not playing to instructions are still being picked. 

As many people have pointed out before there is no relegation danger so there is absolutely no downside to throwing a few kids and squad players into the team and leaving out the offenders..  Alvarez was missing completely from the squad yesterday, as was Wan Bissaka.  Apparently AWB picked up an in jury in  training, which explains his absence, but Alvarez is apparently leaving cryptic messages on social media saying something like "all will soon be revealed". That suggests he may be one of those soon out of the door.

But it's good that someone has had the balls to speak out..  There's clearly a lot wrong and sweeping shit under the carpet has nevcer been the right way to clear up a nasty smell.,

So if they were ignoring him were those subs supposed to change it, because it looked the opposite

Fullkrug seems to be implying that Potter didn't want us to sit back, also Russy B from the Network was near the benches and he said Potter kept telling them to push up. Logically, why would he want to sit back yesterday when winning, did he have form at his previous clubs doing this, it just don't make any sense really. Anyway, it's just an absolute mess at this point and I don't think anyone has the answers.

On another note, that gormless mute cսnt Kilman is a fucking joke of a CB, can't he speak? Defies believe he was captain at Wolves, and now we are stuck with him. Mavros is the better defender.

So what we are summising is that the players are ignoring Potter?

Funny how fans always blame the manager when their team sits back.  Credit to Fullkrug for at least showing he cares enough to get angry about the performance    Can imagine him as a panzer general in ww2.

Good on him for being honest and saying it how it is. Why do we sit back and invite pressure on after we have scored? Is it a mentality thing? Or is it the way they have been told to play? Well, Fullkrug said "we don't want to play that way, but we do". So for me that comes from Potter. He even said in his interview "we don't want to be defensive after we score" so why the fuck are we? Why can Potter not get a message to the players to not sit back? Or is he doing that and being ignored? 

Either way, it's just a big fuck up. And Fullkrug will either win friends of the players for his outburst or he will make enemies of the players. It depends on which way they see it. As a dig at them or Potter. Fullkrug, as angry as he was, did make sure he always said "we" so he included himself in the shit category. 

Either way, whether he makes friends or enemies, it amounts to one thing - A problem for Potter, as it either creates a divide in the players, or it turns them against him. 

Just when you though this season couldn't get any worse.....

And add to that, Brighton haven't won a game in six fixtures.... Roll on West Ham. 

Any longer and I was expecting Fullkrug to break out into a Lily Von Stump number on us...

I'm so tired...so very, very tired

ouch

The best part is the first 7 seconds or so before he starts speaking. You can see his head has gone.

Fair play to him for being honest. But now he is captain material, legend, hero. Really? More shitty crumbs of nothing. 

Didn’t take Potter long to lose the dressing room, did it?

 

If he can get on the pitch for the remainder of this and most of next, the lad's god scope to be a bit of a cult hero IMO.

He was clearly angry and even swore, not sure which swear word as SKY bleeped it out.

Make him captain, I love Bowen but he is only captain because he is a fan favourite.

Fullkrug would be in their faces and getting them going.

The german is right, we really are the wurst.
