With an extended winter window is it West Ham’s chance to finally bring in another striker, or is it time to give the rumours a rest and accept the inevitable feeling that no signings will be incoming?

Under Potters reign so far we’ve seen the boss utilise the youth academy but the majority of our promising attacking youth are practically all out on loan!

George Earthy alongside Callum Marshall are both currently out on loan and the Hammers sealed their own fate through negotiations due to not having a recall option.

A solid performance but one that’s shadowed over by the abysmal refereeing performance tonight.

As soon as the officials were announced for the match, you just knew it’d be a Premier League game full of cards, chaotic decisions and utter carnage in general.

The game kicked off and started sorely for the Hammers, first 10 minutes had the look of a Lopetegui rec team, conceding two in eight. Fortunately, the second goal was ruled out for offside.
