West Ham suffered yet another disappointing defeat at home this past Saturday, adding to their rough start to the season which has fans questioning the future of manager Graham Potter.
The 2-1 loss to Crystal Palace marked the Hammers’ third defeat at home this season, sparking unrest among supporters who protested against ownership before the match. Calls for David Sullivan to step down have grown louder after this latest setback.
Wayne Rooney, speaking on Match of the Day, highlighted West Ham’s vulnerability to set-pieces as a major issue. He criticized the team’s poor defending and lack of organization, especially evident in the first goal conceded against Palace.
While Potter claimed to be working on set-pieces, the team’s defensive woes have persisted, with 10 goals conceded in just three home games. Unless significant changes are made, including investments in the defense, West Ham’s Premier League status could be in jeopardy.
