Potter to select own transfer targets, The mystery striker & Potters winning tactical change

[@grelch]

The thing that has stood out most to me is how good his press conferences are. I’ve always heard that he’s a quiet, shy person, but he’s quite the opposite. He’s enthusiastic, he’s personable and most importantly he actually gives information. If that’s the demeanor, he’s taking behind the scenes, it’s an incredibly huge difference between the last coach and he. and after the game, his interaction with Lucas made it look like they’re already pretty close. And just a matter of days, my opinion of Graham Potter is 180° different than I had before. As for a striker, I don’t think we need a 20 goal striker (something fans always chuck around but doesn’t exist). We need someone who will score 9 or 10 but who brings other players into play. Goals for everyone courtesy of the striker. That’s what we need.

Smashing Geo - loving the content since the new year

[@lubberwalker]

Scarles prevented their last attempted goal.

[@MrWm79]

Great vid Chaps, as always..

[@petercanning482]

Love listening to Frankie, always talks so much sense !

[@Nick-wx7og]

Good show guys! Geo & Gonzo is interesting & a lot of fun. Geo & Frankie is interesting & insightful. Keep it all up!

[@nigtturner]

I love the way those forced errors can be one and it stands out in my mind the way Arni would do it

[@bodger]

Nice show Geo and Frankie

[@touchpotential3762]

The best thing and the most significant thing that has stood out to me so far is the press as exemplified by the two goals we got. Haven't seen anything like that from us since forever

[@MassiveHammers]

Really want to see Kudus through the middle, he's got pace, can go passed players, with a loan striker and possibly Duwsbry Hall. I think that would be a good window!

[@timdiggines768]

if i'm right... seeing Potter after the first, he's congratulations are towards Alvarez who's press for that goal was superb, it was planned so we forced it, thats good tactical play

[@darrenwarby6874]

That was outstanding to get a win with the players he has at the moment. I always have something bad to say about Danny Ings. But you played good 👍. Ings. The defence is a nightmare still but im a happy hammer 🔨. Get in there Potter

[@libasaurusrex]

Just give the poor guy your jumper, Frankie! Great video as always from you two. The comment about the modern game and strikers is so true - look at the Euros - was hardly any strikers with a decent goal count as everything came from wingers and midfield.

[@stewartjenkins4001]

Great show fellas 👏

[@willbecks4315]

This is definitely my favorite show! I do really like listening to Frankie he always is level headed n talks sense 👍

[@philmcdonald7956]

Strange how the match commentators didn't mention that both of Fulham's goals were complete flukes eh. No intent by Iwobi. I think we got a way with one at the start of the game when they hit the bar, but Fab was rarely under pressure. All 3 of our goals (and the disallowed one) were well taken. Too much confirmation bias with the commentators.

[@Hammertime65]

Thread bear squad i wonder who that's down too. But hey 1 week in what a turnaround

[@alanmacintosh4036]

Potter will be our manager for atleast 5 years. Big shout. Quote this in the future.

[@Mr_Boff]

This was said last week, by the board, who said they expect his tenure to be 5-10 years. Yes, they said “expect”. Not actually a “big shout” mate…

[@Hammertime65]

​@Mr_Boff i honestly hope , that after what I've seen , i don't care if he gets west ham to higher places and into the Cl id be very happy if potter was a long term coach . The difference between potter and moyes is chalk in cheese 🧀 . When we play Everton i really really hope we spank everton . Coz as far as iam concerned we are in the shit players wise because of moyes

[@stuartwillardscreenworx4035]

It was a positive attitude that got us through those first two seasons under Moyes (whether you deem it was he who I installed it belatedly during the Covid break or otherwise) sadly we completely failed to build upon it and inevitably it faded during the latter part of season two. Potter, I am expecting will not be so naive and complacent in that regard over similar time, but firstly instilling and maintaining that togetherness is vital. But a good start.

[@mercedessl8718]

Yes agree it was positive especially when Lingard turned up but dithery Dave was unable to maintain momentum. Plus you have that dwarf on the scene

[@keithvandermotten9715]

Spot on Frankie about the commentators yapping about how we gave them two goals. Man City get goals like that all the time,( a good press forcing a mistake) and commentators praise them to the hilt for it. Turning the sound down the only answer

[@markblondrage2776]

We definitely need couple players now though as if it’s left till summer we may struggle more with the funds because we may be looking for another keeper in the summer, can’t afford to leave too many needdd till that long

[@markblondrage2776]

Can’t believe it potter has had a week in charge with a depleted squad and has a 50% win rate already 😱😂⚒️

[@zanussidish5685]

Not having a go at Potter but we're still shipping 2 a game.

[@markblondrage2776]

@ I don’t care if we ship 6 each game as long as we get 7 😂 if you win every game by 1 goal you win the league 😂👍 I do see what you mean though if we lose win draw then goal difference is key

[@zanussidish5685]

@@markblondrage2776 We've now conceded 117 in our last 60 Premier League matches. And we haven't had a 20 goal a season striker in the Premier League era At least one of those stats has to change.

[@markblondrage2776]

@ 100% agree mate I was just making light of our dier situation gotta laugh or you know the other

[@dannymmahoney6403]

117 in 60, thats poor !​@@zanussidish5685

[@Ian-x3d3u]

Air traffic control were the ones concerned as shots from Fulham went skywards

[@ÖmeraliKaynak-j3v]

If you were at the ground you could see why Paqueta was man of the match. When he moved to the right he won a lot of the long balls hit up to him by Fab.

[@markblondrage2776]

For grit and determination that’s the best performance for me for a long time, if we didn’t press them then they wouldn’t of made a mistake then the goals wouldn’t of happened so we deserved it

[@liltcameron]

Paqueta was brilliant

[@andysmith9078]

I think the Kudus sub made more sense to those at the game, still surprising and brave but in the second half Kudus looked like he had given up unless he was on the ball. He looked tired and disinterested. For Fulham’s first goal he got knocked off the ball and stopped and was still on the half way line when they scored. Hopefully it’s more about energy levels than commitment but everyone around me started giving him some stick and weren’t complaining when he went off.

[@BenQuigley-rt5om]

Fulham only had 2 more shots on target than us for all their total shot count. We were more clinical. Their goals were arguably gifted errors too, terrible hesitant defending and goalkeeping.

[@hawkinsemporium]

Loving the content from you & Gonzo, brilliant vid. COYI

[@steveharris2369]

There was a togetherness last night that we haven’t seen for some time. Players looked to be enjoying it and this in turn transferred to the fans. Potter largely responsible for that. Roll on Saturday

[@lubberwalker]

Iwobi put in 4 potential goal assisting passes: -2 of them were latched onto hitting the woodwork -the other two 2 went straight in for their goals Point I'm making is. Somerville is our Iwobi, playing the same area of the park. ... and in my opinion far better. Time to recognise that he is a play maker and focus around him as well as Bowen.

[@barryholman2645]

Well said Geo and Frankie. Fulham did not gift us the game, we earned the win. Our goals were well earnt. Soucek goal was great goal, he was a good captain, and really feel we need to keep him. Actually we gifted Fulham two goals. Perhaps Fulham only let off, was the miss shot at the end with Traore, but even then, our defenders threw their bodies, and probably caused the poor shot.. Also so well done Potter reacting as and when necessary.

[@lubberwalker]

When is someone going to talk about Soucek literally wandering about offside before and continuing during the free kick that was disallowed.....as offside?

[@unclem7816]

Noticed the change Geo mentioned, very good from Potter.

[@JohnHallett-w8l]

Whats going on with areola

[@HammersChat]

Been injured but he’s back for palace

[@jimhardy1897]

more like we gave Fulam 2 goals we worked hard for our goals.

[@JohnBrown-v2q]

I think he is waiting for Bowen to get back to fitness and play him up top that's my opinion

[@haseebraja4752]

I’d be happy to finish mid table and no flirtation with relegation. And let potter work with these players and get them used to his ideas and tactics. Loan players this window only.

[@paulheseltine1792]

I'd get Callum Marshall back from Huddersfield ASAP

[@seanmwh]

How is physically now he looked quite slight at one time

[@matthewk74]

Robbie Savage was so bias last night. It was horrible listening to him

[@MarkWright-jn8lh]

Ferguson wtf he is injured get a grip West ham

[@ian0143]

He makes Fullkrug look healthy.

[@calvinnotkalvin84]

I'll give Frankie £6 for his jumper

[@markmaymaybug]

Tammy Abraham 🤷🏼‍♂️⚒️

[@eug1370]

I think the top striker we should get is Elye Wahi at only 22 & for £2.5M would be a steal & would double yr money in 2 yrs

[@Leon-whu73]

£25 mill

[@mrbonez2361]

He has a very suspect past outside of football I’ve read. Sometimes signings like that are just not morally right.

[@armangarcha6438]

he is a dodgy bloke

[@darrenleelayton6052]

This elye wahi bloke: look up his Wikipedia and what hes been accused of. Wtf?!?!?!😮

[@Ian-x3d3u]

Fulham weren’t dominant

[@The_Rizz_Lord_]

Geo looks "rubbery". Whats wrong. You got covid ?

[@steverobinson4352]

how about divin mubama

[@jeffery8792]

You want us to sign Man City’s 8 choice striker to fix our problems 😂

[@markheath-j1o]

Stop all this gossip buy this buy that just do something we are gonna land up the laughing stock i support westham since 75 to much do i or dont just buy

[@garyrutter3163]

I see we are looking to sell luis guilherme to a saudi arabian club to raise funds

[@zanussidish5685]

Mistake by Tim then?

[@dalematthews979]

That would be a shame as the lad has not had a chance to show us what he is about.

[@major84.]

I'm hoping going Chelsea will have burnt Potters fingers enough that he doesn't jump ship to one of the "elite" clubs should he be doing well with us

[@gregprocter765]

I think he will be getting paid very well at west ham

[@razorwestham5949]

Pay the money for j David if it summer he wants to move on fine we won't lose f all on money and his happy and it's a no brainer for anyone
