Graham Potter has had a dismal spell as West Ham United manager.<\/p>\n

West Ham were thrashed 3-0 by bitter rivals Tottenham Hotspur<\/a> at the London Stadium, making it three heavy defeats in four Premier League games this season.<\/p>\n

Tomas Soucek was sent off for West Ham<\/a>, while goals from Pape Matar Sarr, Lucas Bergvall and Micky van de Ven piled on more pressure on a beleaguered Potter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

West Ham\u2019s 3-0 victory at Nottingham Forest<\/a> before the international break looked to be the catalyst for a Hammers revival this season, but Potter<\/a> looks all but done after what was spotted by the BBC cameras.<\/p>\n

Many questions have been asked over Potter\u2019s position in the Hammers\u2019 hotseat since the back end of last season, with fans disgruntled with a lack of solid results.<\/p>\n

That pressure has only intensified since the opening day hammering at Sunderland, with West Ham<\/a> being unable to adequately defend at all this season, having conceded 11 goals already. <\/p>\n

With another heavy defeat, Potter failed to respond effectively, especially after Soucek\u2019s red card, and Ashley Williams<\/a> has pointed out how the under-fire manager looked as though he had no answers.<\/p>\n

Asked about whether Potter is under pressure on Match of the Day<\/a>, Williams said: \u201cAbsolutely, and even when they cut to him during the game, it doesn\u2019t look like he has the answers, he seems a little bit baffled on the sideline.\u201d<\/p>\n

After the win at Forest, it looked as though there was a chance that Potter could revive his Hammers spell after an incredibly poor 2025 so far, with just two home wins.<\/p>\n

However, that win brought false hope, and now the justified questions are being raised yet again, with a need for a change in results quickly before the Hammers get cut adrift.<\/p>\n

Potter has been failed by the Hammers hierarchy in terms of arrivals, with only El Hadji Malick Diouf impressing so far, but there\u2019s still a huge portion of blame to be pointed at the former Chelsea manager.<\/p>\n

For the sake of West Ham\u2019s survival hopes, Potter needs to pack his bags, but whether he walks or is pushed is another story.<\/p>\n
