West Ham's problems at home continue under the new manager with a drab and disappointing 1-0 defeat to Newcastle.

James and Alex discuss whether there are enough reasons to be positive under Graham Potter, the use of VAR and individuals like Alphonse Areola and Evan Ferguson.

We also look ahead to Lucas Paqueta's betting trial and the David Moyes derby against Everton this weekend.
