Note your comments re first goal, but Kilman is poor running back, very slow and exposed by a slow central midfield. Lack of leadership at the back, feel Kilman needs a more dominant partner, certainly not the error prone Mavropanos.

So what happened against Palace ?

Excellent work lads!

Go easy on the praise, it always backfires

CHARLIE ! Was wondering where to find more content by you. Cool to of found the channel

Great video guys, just liked and subbed

It's been one game. Relax.

Wow Charlie, where's the baby bell 😂

i know we can't dismiss what Moyes achieved but this appointment already feels like we have a coach on a different level to what we have had. ever.

Nice analysis of the improved pressing, but I'd probably argue that Leno makes the error by passing to Pereira (who only had bad options). Under JL, he'd probably have aimed for Iwobi/Robinson who would have been free/under little pressure

Great to see you again Charlie! Miss you on HC. Love the Analytics United team content - learning a lot from the analysis you guys do.

Imagine it's Salah left alone on the wing rather than Wilson lol

For me it’s all about distances. Previously we’d have 4 players high but then rest of the team miles back. So when the press is broken the opponent has all the time and space. Now we are moving up and down the pitch together, as it should be. If you’re gonna press you have to press all the way, otherwise you’re just creating gaps for the opposition to play in.

You guys make my heart sing. Is this really the beginning of a new golden age for WH? I almost can’t believe it.

Will say Charlie will always be the men

Great video👍🏻

Good Analysis data driven and easy to follow. Pressing can be done when the players are fresh. When we had three years in Europe in our legs that dropped off for obvious reasons. Now we don't have that workload we should be able to do that without worrying about some players through lack of energy not supporting the press. If Potter wants to press he should be free to implement it now. Looking forward (a long way) we will need to fill out the squad so if we get back into Europe we can keep the players fresh. I think our low block was out of necessity. Remembering the Leverkusen game we ran out of gas after an hour. If we had tried to do that in the league as well the players would have been wasted.

Great review! Looking forward to your future content! Slaven once said, if you want to press, everyone needs to press, otherwise there's no point.

CHARLIE

The babybel man!

Nice to see you again Charlie! Good vid anyway, but you have made my day.

WTF Charlie🙄. L👀kin Pro,bro💪💥 Always loved your commentary Homeboy⚒COYI⚒. Analytics👌

Hi Jack, regarding the still frame shown, as you may recall, the first Vardy "goal" was ruled out for offside. I love your team's work, but I still don't understand how we lost 3-1.

Interesting analysis and thoughts, I was at the game and also watched the game the following day to confirm my initial reaction to Potter’s changes. Kudus imo had a good game, he appeared to be man marked and on receipt of the ball had another two or three player’s quickly around him, they obviously saw him as a major threat and tactically tried to cancel him out.

Wow! Charlie!!!! Miss you brother! Looking good!

Charlie your back

Nice mini episode lads x

CHARLIE!!!

Great to see Charlie again. Miss him so much from HC.

First to comment, can I get the guy who looks like a kid's twitter or instagram?? Plus how would you bring kudus confidence back if you were potter

huge improvement from Alvarez under potter already

Boys were back!

A clean sheet or two would be nice!

I live in Australia and have for years watched every match live on T.V. but latley just watched o catchup, now though the excitment has returned, its live Hammers for me again, I could not believe just how much our team had improved under Graham Potter, a really good appointment at last, go Hammers go.

I’ve only recently watched videos on this channel, I think you guys are so clever and I can feel myself learning more about the game just by listening to you. Keep up the good work guys, COYI ⚒️

Great review and show guys!!! How great it is to be a happy hammer again!!! 😃

The good feeling that Potter is bringing reflects across all aspects from the relief and excitement for the fans, improvement to key players like Paqueta and Alvarez as well as giving something good and tangible for you to analyse. It does expose to me how complicated the job of manager/coach is but how much more reassuring it is to have a manager who is up to the job. Like you explained it is so much better when the players strengths are being utilised that is better for the team, better for the players themselves and so much better for the fans enjoyment. With Lopetegui it felt he learnt nothing either from all the alleged time he was watching the team prior to joining and then in the time in the job and damaging the team and the players in the process. As you also said there are points where Potter has had to adjust when things are not working and that will always happen as there is an opposing manager also trying to set up the best against him. I find your calm analytical comments so interesting and rewarding and believable as opposed to some social media knee jerk standard reactions along the lines of no passion no effort etc regardless of whether those comments are true or not. Keep up the great work and wish you every success with the channel.

One swallow does not a summer make. Really hoping the results will follow.

Was definitely an improved performance! Loppy’s tactics reminded me of a broken clock, sometimes he got it right (Ipswich at home and Newcastle away) but like a broken clock- it’s right twice a day lol, was so chaotic with the changes, hopefully potter finds his best team whilst keeping the other players hungry and involved, I’m confident he will :)

Cheers guys very informative work

Hearing you boys talking about the match,started getting me excited again😅. On Fridays 1st half,we made Villa look like brum City😂. A confidence in possession we havent seen since the Pandemic.Sunday was more than a delight, cos we were destined to lose😊. We Truly needed Potter⚒️. Karen 'The Teeth' Brady❤ pushed this to happen...RESPECT! Your analysis of WH⚒️ is 'next level' compared to whats out there,& some are pretty Good⚒️👌. Keep up the Good work lads ⚒️COYI⚒️

What a difference some energy and hope gives us all! The pressing game and leading from the front was amazing to see, I think this will help give us an edge and see us score first a lot more than under prior managers

There is no such thing as bad players at this level...you guys were slagging Alvarez 3 weeks ago. Nice to see you recognize how proper coaching and a suitable system has such an impact. Imagine potter getting kudus (also slagged off) and bowen and summerville firing. Upside is immense.

Soucek was excellent, club legend is a bit of a stretch at the moment, but he'll go down as one of my favourites. Performed under every manager

You boys are absolute class. Keep up the OUTSTANDING work and thank you for everything that you do 👍🏻👌🏻

Most people would say ‘extra man’ only cal would call it ‘numerical superiority’ 😅 always using such unnecessary long vocabulary and I love it !

Kudus was fouled relentlessly and couldn’t even get a free kick from the ref. I bet his calves are peppered with holes from all the studs he took. His shirt is probably a size bigger now, too. I was surprised it wasn’t ripped he was held so often, on and off the ball. The tactic worked but shouldn’t have been allowed.

Wow! You all look and sound just like I feel-happy and optimistic. Great summary!

Great analysis as normal guys. Some stills from the game etc would make it even better
