    Jack and Darcy break down West Ham's gutting 3-2 loss away to Brighton in the Premier League after conceding yet more late goals from Kaoru Mitoma and Carlos Baleba. They discuss what on earth is happening in the final minutes of seemingly every match, the impact the half time substitutes made by attempting to create more attacking threat at the expense of control, success from more direct play including goals from Mohammed Kudus and Tomas Soucek, the challenges West Ham will face in the Summer transfer window and much more.

  • #68 Is Potter Finding the Formula?

    Jack Elderton and Cal Goodall break down Liverpool 2-1 West Ham, a hard-fought loss for the Hammers away at Anfield which took the Reds one step closer to the Premier League title. A late winner from Virgil Van Dijk was all that separated the two sides after an own goal from Andrew Robertson had seemingly given Graham Potter's side hopes of leaving with a point, despite conceding early in the first half when Mohamed Salah assisted Luis Díaz to give Arne Slot's side the lead.


    Jack and Cal discuss all the goals from Sunday's game as well as the big chances for Jarrod Bowen to get on the scoresheet which were denied by Alisson, Lucas Paquetá putting in the kind of performance that showed why Man City wanted to sign him for £85m in the transfer window, what changed at half time to allow West Ham to dominate the second half, Oliver Scarles vs Mo Salah, how the Hammers set up to press Liverpool and force them to play direct, the effects of playing without a recognised striker on both West Ham's build up play and the likes of Bowen and Kudus specifically and much more.

  • #67 The Füllkrug Effect

    Cal and Darcy break down West Ham 2-2 Bournemouth in the Premier League, discussing a game of mixed performances from both sides, West Ham's continued struggles with chance creation, how Füllkrug's inclusion changes that and improves the players around him, the imbalance between the left and right hand sides when going forward, how the other substitutions in the second half positively effected West ham and much more.

  • #64 Who Stays, Who Goes?

    Jack Elderton and Cal Goodall break down West Ham's 2-0 win over Leicester City, the first time the Hammers have won back to back Premier League games in a year. A Tomas Soucek goal and Jannik Vestergaard own goal separated Graham Potter's side from Ruud van Nistelrooy's. Jack and Cal discuss the balance found in West Ham's new Midfield 3 and the qualities James Ward-Prowse has brought to the side, Aaron Cresswell's re-emergence as an option at Centre-Back, the key difference between Potter and previous Head Coach Julen Lopetegui, as well as appraising the squad now the new Head Coach has been in charge for 2 months, asking whether several key players should be kept, loaned out or sold during the Summer as West Ham look towards another squad rebuild. These include stars Lucas Paquetá and Mohammed Kudus, players currently on loan at the London Stadium Carlos Soler and Evan Ferguson and Nayef Aguerd, who returns to the club in the summer after a successful spell on loan at Real Sociedad.

    Jack Elderton and Cal Goodall break down West Ham's 0-1 loss to Brentford in the Premier League, where a disastrous fist half at the London Stadium saw Graham Potter's side pick the ball out of the net on more than one occasion, although a VAR offside call meant Thomas Frank's side reduced to one goal. Jack and Cal discuss what went wrong for the Hammers in the first 45, what changed at half time to make a difference, Evan Ferguson's West Ham debut, the Mohammed Kudus conundrum, whether the Hammers' are moving in the right direction, if a squad rebuild is in order, how many transfer windows that could take and much more.
