Graham Potter Faces Criticism as West Ham Struggles Continue

West Ham's struggles under Graham Potter have intensified after a disappointing 1-1 draw against already relegated Southampton, prompting increasing doubts from fans and pundits alike about Potter's ability to turn the club around. Despite an initial promising start, Potter has managed only three wins in his first 13–14 league games, with West Ham averaging just one point per match and now winless in their last six outings. Boos from supporters reflected the mounting frustration, as the team failed to show improvement over previous manager Julen Lopetegui, and tactical choices—such as the underwhelming midfield pairing of James Ward-Prowse and Carlos Soler—have come under particular scrutiny. Potter himself admitted post-match that his side did not deserve more and acknowledged the need for significant improvement, stating he faces big decisions this summer. While relegation is unlikely due to a comfortable points cushion, the disconnect between Potter and the fanbase is growing, and the scale of the rebuilding task is becoming ever more apparent. The consensus is that unless results and performances improve, Potter's future at the club may be in jeopardy.
