Graham Potter admits “I need to do better” as the pressure rises on Ham West’s boss after Chelsea’s travel

The boss of West Ham, Graham Potter, admitted that he “needed to do better” while the pressure on him rose after 5-1 tonight at home in Chelsea.

Potter’s team was abject by losing 3-0 in Sunderland last weekend, but was probably even worse at the London stadium, capitulating defensively after leading through the first strike from Lucas Paqueta.

Chelsea, despite seeing Cole Palmer missed after undergoing a groin injury during the warm -up, retaliated by Joao Pedro before the goals of Pedro Neto, Enzo Fernandez, Moises Caicedo and Trevoh Chalobah overthrew the game.

House fans showed their frustration by leaving early or Huluant and Potter admitted that it was up to him to overthrow the situation.

He said: “I am the head coach and I am responsible for the team and the team does not work as well as we would like and the results are not what we want. We have to get the most out of the players and that’s my job.

“It is a collective (responsibility). As much as it is pleasant to point your fingers and blame people, we all have to do better. There is no one throwing anyone under the bus here. “

Potter abused by West Ham fans

Potter was subjected to abuse of fans at home as he headed for the locker room after the match. He added: “I cannot control what people say or do, everyone is entitled to their opinions, I have to do better and we have to do better.

“You are under pressure all the time. I am aware of my responsibilities and I know what the game looks like. ”

Potter added on Sky Sports: “A difficult evening for us, of course. Memory disappointed with the result. With the way of goals, we concede after starting the game well. Too cheap, I think against a high -level team, we must say that, to concede the goals of the way in which we have is an impossible task.

“As I said, the goals change their match. The goals affect things too much, and when they are cheap, like those we have given, we have to do better. Until you can resolve this, it’s always difficult in the Premier League, especially against the best teams. We have to improve a lot.

“When you concede the objectives of how we have, it makes the task difficult. The moment too. Beautiful margins, but nevertheless during the game, you put yourself in a position where if you open too much and press too much, you can pass. But at the same time, we are at home and we have to create a certain pressure and try to get on the front foot and create errors, so it was a difficult evening for us. »»

Angry Bowen after a strong defeat

Captain Jarrod Bowen cut an angry figure when he was asked how he felt after the game.

“I think you can probably imagine. Fuming. Designating. All the emotions that come with conceding eight goals in two games and not yet taking a point,” he said.

“I think we put ourselves in a very good position at 1-0, then I thought that the objectives were really cheap on our behalf. We didn’t really make them work for these three from parts, which we have always spread over the years and some additional finishes inside the six yard box. We offered the goals tonight. ”

ESTEVAO shines for Chelsea

Although West Ham was abject, it was a beautiful post of Chelsea with Estevao Willian, 18, stimulating as a replacement for Palmer, although he is to blame for the objective of opening the hosts.
