I always used to enjoy listening to Potter speaking to the press as he seemed honest, open and insightful. Moyes was always very defensive, conceited and spiky without offering much information. Lopetegui never gave anything. So refreshing to have a knowledgeable and likeable bloke as the clubs figurehead and spokesperson ⚒️

[markholmes]

Jack, this was the west ham my age group saw as kids. The passion, the attacking passing, , pressing, baller in the middle, tricky wingers, crowd on their feet. This is why we wanted Moyes out. This is what we have been pushing for. Hopefully this will make sense now after seeing what we believe our club to be

[jonathanitungo]

Graham Potter has been a fantastic appointment so far, you can tell the players have clear directions on the pitch, can't wait to have Todibo and Bowen back and also the signing of a new striker.

[scarecrowsurprise]

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

[theplatinumfingerbutchcass]

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

[connorjn]

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 ⚒️

[nickhiggins]

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

[simonhughes]

Great to see team spirit and players clearly enjoying and trusting in Potter. Couple of key signings will open up more options going forward and still need to work out how to get Kudos more effective. Good video as ever.

[dmenace]

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⚒️

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.

[fexso]

Fabs passing throughout the game was great!

[FJames]

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

[Chrisfootballsalsa]

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.

[IAmCrumpton]

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

[scoobyview]

Spot on analysis lads. Good to enjoy this win with you

[audialiastt]

AU, nice to see the smiles on faces. A very fortunate result but well earned. More Doctor GP because of our injuries than Wizard Potter. Hopefully, after viewing how much the players backed the manager, the board will also.

[M_J_Hammer]

Great show guys, thanks for educating this dinosaur on the modern game COYI ⚒

[TonyHammer]

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

[davidlodge]
