Graham Potter pinpoints West Ham’s biggest weakness after Brentford setback. The Hammers slipped to a fourth defeat in six matches since Potter replaced Julen Lopetegui last month as Brentford ran out 1-0 winners. Graham Potter admits his start to life as West Ham manager has not gone the way he wanted. The Hammers slipped to a fourth defeat in six matches since Potter replaced Julen Lopetegui last month as Brentford ran out 1-0 winners at the London Stadium. Worryingly for Potter, their first-half display against the Bees was probably worse than some of the debacles served up under Lopetegui. Kevin…
One very clear ‘takeaway’ that Potter ignores at his peril. West Ham’s first half against Brentford was as bad as anything we have seen this season. Poor planning, poor squad selection, playing to the other teams advantages, midfield capitulation – all the things we’d witnessed under Lopetegui as we squirmed in horror watching the carnage unravel. Make no bones about it that should have been another four goal thumping. There are several take aways from that game as a spectator. Whatever anyone says, I will never be convinced that Edson Alvarez is a Premier League quality midfielder. He doesn’t have…
Tottenham Hotspur have suffered domestic cup disappointment over the past ten days but must put that to one side when they host Manchester United in the Premier League on Sunday. Exits from the Carabao Cup and FA Cup have further lowered the odds of Spurs ending their agonising trophy drought this season, with the Europa League their only remaining hope of glory. But to succeed on the continent they must first build up momentum in the Premier League. They have already beaten fellow strugglers United twice this season and will be looking for a hat-trick this weekend. Ange Postecoglou’s side…
Tottenham could turn to a London rival as they look to add depth to their midfield this summer. It has been a turbulent season for the North London club, who find themselves in the bottom half having been ravaged by injuries all season long. The injuries are now finally beginning to clear up, and Ange Postecoglou is under pressure to deliver results without having the excuse of having his hands tied by absences. Spurs did move to add some further depth in the winter window, signing Antonin Kinsky, Kevin Danso and Mathys Tel, but the summer will surely bring more…
Tottenham Hotspur has been the home to countless attacking talents over the years, many of which have captured the hearts of the fanbase during their time in North London. Gareth Bale joined the club as a youngster from Southampton, originally as a left-back, but rapidly showcased that he was more than capable of starring within the attacking third. The Welshman was known for his wand of a left foot, scoring endless strikes from outside the box, before leaving in an £85m deal to join Real Madrid in the summer of 2013. Striker Teddy Sheringham joined Spurs from Nottingham Forest in…
Tottenham Hotspur’s disappointing campaign has intensified pressure on manager Ange Postecoglou, with speculation mounting over his long-term future at the club. Spurs have endured a tough season, failing to secure a win in their last seven home league matches (D2 L5), marking their worst run in the competition since 2008. Currently sitting 14th in the Premier League and having suffered exits from both the Carabao Cup and FA Cup, the club’s struggles have sparked growing concerns about their direction under Postecoglou. ESPN journalist James Olley has suggested that should Spurs opt for a managerial change, Fulham’s Marco Silva could emerge…
Premier League make announcement about West Ham United v Brentford incident. West Ham were torn to pieces by Brentford in the first half of the Premier League clash at the London Stadium on Saturday. It was a nightmare start for the Irons, with Kevin Schade opening the scoring within minutes. Graham Potter will have been fuming with his West Ham side, but it didn’t get any better with that early goal not serving as the warning that was needed. It could have been worse for the Irons though, with Yoane Wissa thinking he had scored a second, only for…
Kudus dreadful in 3/10, Areola shines – West Ham player ratings v Brentford. Mohammed Kudus was dreadful as West Ham were beaten 1-0 by Brentford in the Premier League. Kevin Schade opened the scoring in the first five minutes at the London Stadium on Saturday 15 February. Alphonse Aréola appeared to have made a superb triple save, but goal-line technology revealed that the ball had snuck in at the third time of asking. The Bees thought they had doubled their lead on two separate occasions, but Yoane Wissa was denied by an offside flag both times, with Graham Potter’s side…
Millwall to West Ham move | That’ll be an interesting transfer!. The rivalry between the two sides is legendary, one of the most bitter in football. Going way back to the origins of the two clubs and the ‘Dockers’ Derby’, the last time the two clubs met on the pitch was in the Championship season of 2011/2. Nobody will forget the 2009 Upton Park game in a hurry. I just wonder whether the fan base has evolved sufficiently to be sensible – let alone excited – about the rumours now linking a Millwall player with moves to East London. For…
Julen Lopetegui outcast is privately impressing Graham Potter at West Ham. West Ham United manager Graham Potter is privately blown away by one player who wasn’t fancied by his predecessor, Julen Lopetegui, with the squad member potentially in line for a more key role as a result. West Ham aim for solid 2024/2025 under Graham Potter In his first interview as Hammers boss, Potter pledged to bring a brand of entertaining football to the London Stadium, and you can make a case that we have already seen flashes of that promise over his first few games in the dugout. West…
