In the past he's favoured a 3-4-3 formation...hard to see how we can do that currently with only 3 senior CBs, one of whom is injured. He's also played wingers (Solly March as an example) in the wing back roles.
Typically when a 3-4-3 gets announced on a match day the manager is immediately described as being too negative, too cautious etc. I guess it depends on the composition of the 4.
He's given young players chances...hopefully that continues at West Ham.
Welcome Graham.

Good first half…poor second after Villa woke up…and injuries clearly changed our game…
Well done for a promising start by Potter and team…
Kudus…Alvarez…need to improve…

It is a fair assessment. I don’t like it either but that doesn’t stop it from being true.
Ladysmith and COYI are here for the fishing, time for them to be eliminated from this site.
My understanding of the way the new site operates is that if you "Foe" someone then you never, ever get to see what they post, which is what I believe (some) people want; try it and see.
What does it matter to you if I can still see their posts, but you can't? I simply don't respond to them. Even if I did, you'd never know.
FWIW I don't think there is anybody important enough for me to put the effort into "Foe-ing" them, and I certainly wouldn't be going to a mod to ask them to do something I can already do myself.
You have an odd obsession about the 'foe' function, don't ya. We heard you first dozen times.

Not who I'd have chosen but already he's shown himself to be leagues above Flopetegui. He'll do alright here.

COYI, Ladysmith are great entertainment if you enjoy a “wind up”.

Relentless. But thats what I have always liked about this site. Can often spam up threads but I do that with all my posts
Potter needs 2 or 3 players as any manager coming in would. As with Lop, I will assess after 10 games ad the first milestone. At the moment his influence is relatively minor. His first 2,or 3 games are for assessing who can take on whats being asked, who can actually execute whats being asked and working out what system is needed to best fit what he has. But its certain now too that he will want some additions. Ben Chilwell is one he is supposedly keen on and some box to box midfielder who I hadnt heard of ( not Dewsbury Hall) and a striker now us urgent.
Fulham and Palace will be very tough games now without Bowen, Todibo, Fullkrug and Summerville.
Are they not WHU?
And what is spam?

A very inauspicious start from Potter tonight. Decent first half but the team collapsed second half when Villa woke up. Seemed he couldn't manage the game at all.
I can kinda see why he has a lowly 32% win percentage as a top flight manager, and why Chelsea bombed him out after 6 months.
The jury is out on Potter. He will have to convince he has what it takes to manage our great club to better pastures. The honeymoon period of not being 'loser Lop' and being able to speak English is over.
Think I need to get the 'dislike' functionality implemented just for comments like this. Jesus wept.

I like what I’ve seen, he had 2 hours with the players and the first half was excellent.
It was clear the players aren’t fit enough, that’s down to Loppy
He will knock what he has into shape and bring in some other bodies plus we will see some academy players.
We will finish top 10.

I think what I posted was a fair and factual assessment. It is a fact that Potter has a 32% win percentage in 169 games as a top flight manager.
I didn't say he is shit or that I want him out. I said he will need to convince he has what it takes to manage us to the next level given his record and his inability to manage the game properly this evening.
