We are so much better when we press. No passengers today, everybody worked their socks off. AWB MoM for me.
Great win.
11 May 2025 16:34:01
Humble pie tastes a lot better when we win š
11 May 2025 17:17:33
Doesn't it just
11 May 2025 16:26:22
Well we probably all raised our eyebrows at the team selection but fair play what a performance and a much needed 3 points. Havenāt felt this happy for weeks. COYI
11 May 2025 16:34:27
100% agree
11 May 2025 16:15:24
ššššš potter out potter out pmsl, so that is apparently the worst team according to some, lovely 3 points š
11 May 2025 16:33:15
Stevie, a great watch, lovely going forward, solid at the back, good passing between the midfield .š
11 May 2025 16:36:02
Agree but you have got to admit, that has got to be the worst Man utd team in the last 20 years or so.
11 May 2025 17:23:59
Let's not take the shine off this win considering we NEVER win at Old Trafford.
OK we rode our luck a little at times but overall a decent solid performance.
I still maintain that if we get rid of the dross we have the potential to become a decent team
11 May 2025 16:15:16
Well would you look at that lol š š š
beat Forest next week and we could finish 13th rofl š¤£ š š
11 May 2025 13:22:13
Probably one of the worst team selections I've seen in a long long time. Does he really need to take at rodriguez?
11 May 2025 13:39:04
The slowest midfield in prem history terrible selection against a man u side that's begging to be beaten
11 May 2025 13:42:37
Unbelievable! Defensive set up (no surprise) and no midfield (no chance) and no striker. A slap in the face for all WHU supporters who deserve at least some effort at entertainment. POTTER OUT!
11 May 2025 14:30:03
Was literally about the post the same thing. I know our squad isn't great, but come on. Surely he's not this bad right?
11 May 2025 15:06:55
You guys really are unbelievable! What was up with that?!
11 May 2025 15:08:19
Hmmm but winning at HT and not bad so far
11 May 2025 16:17:41
Right Iām just waiting for:
āPotter nearly gave it away with his substitutionsā
āMan Utd are so bad theyāre even making us look goodā
āOne swallow doesnāt make a Summerā
āSee what you can do when you play on the front footā
11 May 2025 16:32:04
Not from me.
Rodrigues, Soucek and JWP are fine as a midfield if they are not harried. Man U gave us too much time on the ball and we pressed when they had possession.
Such a refreshing change.
11 May 2025 16:36:09
Or just complete silence because none of you can swallow your pride and give credit where itās due ā¦.
11 May 2025 16:47:17
I was at the cinema so so didnāt see or hear the game. I saw the starting line up before going and have to say I agreed with many of the comments. I donāt know how well we played but that is a great result no matter how poor the Man U team are, Old Trafford never been easy for us. So on the face of it credit where credit is due. At least I can look forward to MOTD tonight.
11 May 2025 16:56:54
Good result, Can't think anyone seen that line up today and was happy with it but it got the job done, as for the subs dabber they did invite pressure and quite a few times all was needed was the slightest touch and they would have been right back in the game fortunately for us didn't happen.
Hopefully a turning point, forrest will be tough game they still have a lot to play for, Ipswich will want to put in a good performance last game in the prem. But a couple wins there could see us in 13th and relieves a bit of pressure on Potter for start of the new season.
11 May 2025 17:06:57
One decent game against a very poor man u side hat has eyes on a euro final doesn't make a season , yes we were a little better ill admit that, but one game does not make me think at all potter is the right man for the job when we've been awful for the last 5 months I'm afraid
11 May 2025 17:50:49
I donāt think I will be changing my tune, no matter how well we did or didnāt play today. But if the press was effective that has to be promising. We have 2 very winnable games now as forest have pretty much blown their chance of champions league today as the couldnāt even beat Leicester at home. The fact is we should have won at least 3 of our last 6 matches with 2 home games against Southampton and a pathetic Tottenham side and Ipswich away. So the united result is a major boost but the 2 home games were a massive missed opportunity. By all accounts it sounds like he will be given the transfer window so if we win the last 2 and he gets the window right I am prepared to say that I may have been wrong and would be happy to say that. But having had to watch most of the dross we have been subjected to over the last 5 months it is still a long way off.
11 May 2025 17:53:11
Sorry dabber. I missed it. I was watching paint dry.
11 May 2025 18:31:06
Just returning from Old Trafford. Thought team looked good. We were surprised with line-up, yet it worked. Well done Potter š
11 May 2025 13:13:18
I think Potter must be playing for the sack, that has got to be the worst team selection is recent history. Rodriquez along side Handbrake and Coufal RWB. Think he has completely lost it.
11 May 2025 13:38:09
I think he knows he's safe. It's going to be a tough watch today, if we can keep it tight at least we have a strong bench to go for it in the second half.
11 May 2025 14:23:59
āThese are none of his players so you can only judge (Potter) next seasonā - commentator on WHU Match Centre live audio.
What absolute nonsense. If that were true, we could never judge the England manager as the players are never the managerās players as they are all temporarily on loan!
11 May 2025 18:31:30
Talk about clutching at straws. Have a day off Moanlegs.
11 May 2025 20:48:14
We could be real Madrid and just won the league, cup and champions league and some would still moan
11 May 2025 22:31:19
Today was a rare good day at West Ham. I am not too proud to admit I may have been wrong. So if we win our last 2 matches which after today we should. I will hold my hands up and say I was wrong, he is not a worse manager than Julian Lopitegui . He is equally as good a manager as Loppy, as they will both have 6 wins from a similar amount of games. Iām sure that will make you very proud.
Hopefully we can move up the league and be more attractive to incoming players
10 May 2025 07:39:13
{Ed's Note - bailey has posted a new article entitled, Southampton FC Players Overview
09 May 2025 15:28:48
Well it's confirmed by the club that, Fabianski, Cresswell, Coufal and Ings are leaving the club at the end of the season
09 May 2025 15:56:51
Indeed, note that Antonio whoās contract is expiring, not mentioned, not clear as yet maybe, 1 year on 1/2 pay, .? , seems fair in the circumstances to both parties, , he could be very useful for 45/60 minutes, and in case of injury problems to others, thatās if he passes new medical?
09 May 2025 16:30:38
The thing that gets me is over the last 3 years West ham have given Danny Boy Ā£19.5 Million in wages if you can call what he has done wages
09 May 2025 17:18:30
People praise Moyes, what a great judge of a player he was a, , Ings was a prime example, /we have had a few, poor players, but all in all, Ings was the worst, an expensive disaster, had two offers to leave, never going to happen, heās saved up enough to enjoy a long retirement, but somebody might be foolish enough to take him as a free agent, whereās thereās a few quid Danny boy will be there sitting on the bench, shocking purchase, complete waste of Ā£35 million pounds
09 May 2025 17:42:44
Thanks to Mr Moyes.
10 May 2025 18:45:01
Moyes watched French international Fofana put in a man of the match display against arsenal and said no I'll have relegated carthorse JwP instead.
Julian Alvarez?! No thanks.
10 May 2025 19:21:52
Al, without repeating myself, you may recall, it was Moyes, who turned down Gykores @ Ā£16.5 m from Coventry, ā heās too slow for West Ham ā weāre his words, and then Mateta @ Ā£9.5 m ā turns too slow, for premiership ā and some people, regret his leaving, heās having a honeymoon with Everton, like he did with us, it wonāt last, he left us in a dire state, run our players into the ground we are yet to recover, heās a poor judge, thatās for sure
10 May 2025 22:54:54
I thought Gykores was perfect for us at the time, felt similar mold to arnautovic and antonio, strong quick can dribble but actually a natural striker compared to the other to. Really didn't make sense why Moyes didn't want him. How hard could it have been to show how statistically similar these players are? Instead you go for scammaca and ings?!
I can vaguely remember us being linked to caicedo and I think when stiedten come in he pushed for Duran in january window. Don't think moyes wanted either of them.
10 May 2025 22:56:11
Oh and didn't he sabotage the Alex Scott deal?
11 May 2025 09:10:51
I'm pretty sure all managers make mistakes seeing as we are linked to everyone every summer can always find something but let's face it moyes is streets ahead of potter you can't blame moyes for potter being a crap manager
11 May 2025 13:18:55
Moyes spent close to 500m in his tenure and left us with a horrible sqaud that was on of the oldest In the league.
Imo a large amount of his success was on the coattails of Rice.
08 May 2025 18:34:39
I know most of you want potter out but I would still like to think he deserves a summer transfer window, all our money was spent last summer so his hands were tied in January so couldn't really do very much, there's not a manager out there that could've got a tune out of this squad of players, if things are still the same after 10 or 12 games next season then fine we should look elsewhere but I'm getting behind my team and supporting them in these last few games I'm fed up reading "potter out potter out"!
08 May 2025 22:17:40
Loppy and moyes got a better tune out of them? Fact
09 May 2025 06:36:42
Why does he ādeserveā it? His record with us is appalling, and with respect youāre talking as if this squad of players is a schoolboy XI. Itās full of international players from whom even Lopetegui got better results! And before he joined us he was sacked by Chelsea for being awful after several seasons with Brighton where he was bang average at best.
09 May 2025 08:54:51
Stevie I wouldnāt want to give him any games next season. Many of the people who want Potter to stay also were ranting about the previous manager after just 0half a dozen games. Whilst I will say he wasnāt good, he seemed a difficult character to deal with and understand and looked like he was having a breakdown. Whilst we did have a few games where we shipped a lot of goals we but did play a lot more on the front foot, scored more and won more games fact.
Nobody thought the last fella was the right manager, but many of us didnāt feel Potter was the solution and as the clamour for potter was so vocal, I for one and probably most others just kept stoom and hoped for the best. But sadly Potter has proved us right he is a failure. why should we give this guy half of one season and then waste another 10 games of the next season just to start looking for a new manager mid season. Then we can give the next manager the pathetic excuse of not having his own players.
Potter was brought to improve our team, improve our results and consequently our position in the league. He has been a dismal failure on all 3 counts.
09 May 2025 10:02:29
Stevie I think of myself as a fair man, I was clear about Loppy after 5 games, and I was not in favour of Potter I do not care in reality, who the manager is, as long as he is moderately successful, Football is a results business, and this manager is a failure, to be frank I was astonished, at the amount of support he initially had I was thinking it must be mass hypnotism, it looks like heās going to get this transfer window, I hope for the best, I donāt mind being proved wrong, but I will retain my scepticism
09 May 2025 10:05:46
Not been impressed with Potter at all really, that being said pretty much all the games have been close. We've been unlucky in quite a few of those games and that could be the difference between about 3-4 places with how tight the league is.
I don't think it's accurate comparing him to moyes and lopetegui, he came in while we were sitting in 14th pretty much safe from relegation and probably unlikely to get europe and with what seems like a few of those players already having an eye on a summer move We've slept walk down the table.
Between JWP, Alvarez, Rodriguez, Soucek. We probably have the slowest midfield options in the league by some distance which both Moyes and Lopetegui didn't address infact made us worse.
If he addresses this in summer it will make a big difference, we'll press higher and won't have to drop a forward for an extra man in midfield to cover the lack of pace.
Maybe I'm just looking for the positives as I don't think sullivan will get rid and if he does I have no faith in him that he will bring anyone better in. This coming transfer window is massive and the relationship between Potter and macuauley will be crucial, If that gets broken up now we'll end up with sullivan and some out of work manager doing the rebuild. I think I'd rather we let Potter and macauley bring in younger hungrier players then if things still don't go right on the pitch we can get rid then and at least someone will inherit hopefully a more balance sqaud.
09 May 2025 14:28:28
Al,
Although thereās a lot in what you say, youāre missing a major point. No matter who comes in during the summer, there are limitations to what a team can do without a coach who knows what heās doing. Hand on heart do you honestly believe Potter has the capability required? I donāt.
09 May 2025 16:05:54
Apologies, I know this question not directed to me, but if We had Donnarumma in goal Marmoush and Haaland up front, Rodri and Van Dyke in the middle, would make no difference to Potter, heād play the same way, same result, Iāve never seen what others see in him, nice guy, very presentable, thatās it, and Iām not expecting any different next season, but I will retract my words on here if we do well, canāt be fairer than that
09 May 2025 16:42:42
Regarding retracting our words, I think most or all of us would agree with that Joyful. But we could end up going through a lot more angst if he is given the transfer window. It may seem that there is nothing to play for in the last 3 games but I think if we lose all 3 he will be out if we win all 3 he will remain. I think we should expect 4 or 5 points from these 3 games Iām not sure we will get them.
09 May 2025 17:28:01
I can see us not getting any points at all, Iām genuinely suprised that Sullivan, is trusting any transfer window to Potter itās all very well getting in a dozen players for cheap money, some maybe good value, but Premier is toughest league in Europe no question, itās a big ask, to get players from lesser leagues to step up, and get them all to gel as well, In a way I hope Iām wrong, but whilst others may be enthusiastic, Iām not
10 May 2025 16:12:50
@tin, there are definitely more suitable managers, is sullivan capable of getting them? Would they want to work under sullivan?
Will the manager come in and demand certain players where we have to over pay think kilman, jwp.
My point is really I have no faith in sullivan to find any better. Even though its probably not that hard based on how he's done so far.
I think what could be a positive and help us turn things around under Potter, is that he obviously works well with macualey and is happy to take younger players and try and develop then. Rather than blow huges amounts on older players just because they've played in the prem or worked with them before.
Do I think he's the man to take us into europe probably not, could he be the stepping stone to a manager that can, he could be.
But ultimately what's led us to this point where it feels make or break is the lack of direction and planning for the future, which all comes down to sullivan our frustrations should be directed to him.
And as for the thinking that Potter won't change the style of play and will play exactly the same no matter who he has I don't think its true, he was never known for playing a 532, I think he's done that largely down to how poor our midfield is. Do you not think if he had a bissouma or a caicedo insted of jwp we'd not be stepping up higher and pressing more aggressively?
11 May 2025 08:58:56
I think everyone needs to stop talking about Moyes. Heās the past. Since then weāve had Loppy and Potter. We need to get behind Potter. Weāre not conceding as many goals and our ball retention is better. Pundits on this site used to moan we didnāt have possession, now we have possession theyāre still moaning. Potter will be with us for another 2 years. Get used to it and support the man and the team.
07 May 2025 23:36:26
Just watched the highlights of the two champions league semi finals. Whilst watching I noticed a lot of the players names were familiar and some from some time back.
I checked the average age of the inter squad and it is just under 30.
I'm not advocating keeping our dads army and we do need younger fitter players but it just shows with the right team spirit and manager you can still get success with a number of oldies
08 May 2025 09:14:50
I watched both games this week. Very entertaining, attacking football, especially the Barca/Inter match. Itās what the sport is all about. End to end stuff and none of this continuous side and back passing which is prevalent in possession based football. Excellent adverts for the game.
08 May 2025 23:59:54
Is it a coincidence or the last 3 managers the POISON DWARF has employed are very defense minded the man has zero ambition it's all about survival then survival and if that doesn't work then survival and until the club is sold to an owner/owners with ambition we will all still be moaning till we are blue in the face about the DWARF and his cronie LADY PENOLOPE needing to go as far away as possible from WHUFC.COYI
09 May 2025 12:33:55
While I dislike the board as much as the next man, Sully not wanting us to do well I think is incorrect. He does want us to do well for pure financial means, we are worth untold millions more if we are competing at the top end of the table opposed to just surviving. The answer is he hasn't a clue, he is not a football person and never will be, unfortunately things conspire to make him believe he is the oracle, like him only wanting Potter to be given 6 months and him being proved correct.
