After West Ham United’s defeat to Crystal Palace on Saturday it seems as that was the final nail in the coffin for Graham Potter and the club are anticipating sacking the Englishman, but not until a replacement is set in stone.

The Hammers have seemingly given Potter the fixtures against Everton and Arsenal seeing as ‘they don’t believe they are good fixtures for a new manager’ which is rather convenient considering that’s the build-up to the international break, and the return fixture is the game against Brentford, which has planned to be a boycott through fans.

As the stormy clouds closed in and the protests begun, the London derby against Crystal Palace kicked off which would ultimately see Hammers fans having to endure 90 minutes of an unenthusiastic, lethargic performance with the players coasting around the pitch.

Crystal Palace would take the lead through Mateta from a corner despite Areola taking the starting spot, and Mavros defensive efforts of an acrobatic clearance weren’t able to keep the scoreline level.
