A match thread for a match when we still have another one to play first . An interesting concept!

Just seen the West Ham tweet specifically mentioning our game so thought it's better placed here than the Sack Race thread

This is the actual source, by the way

Top journalist claims ‘short term’ appointment coming West Ham’s way

Apparently there’s a new plan at West Ham. After a weekend mired in rumour and gossip, what is certain is that Graham Potter’s West Ham side lost again and Potter is on the brink. Of course…

Yes please?

Christ.

Been a while since any team waved the white flag against the all-conquering Toffees.

I don't believe a word of it. That'll be another hard match for us.

Earlier this year some were telling us that Potter had his choice of coming to us or not and went elsewhere. I never believed he was somebody we wanted - others can correct me - but if he did, well, how the worm turns...

It's kind of telling in its own way, isn't it. Almost Freudian.

I don't care about the West Ham game until we are safely in the next round of the League Cup.

Yes please?

The Everton fan in me now feels like this is a guaranteed win for West Ham

They are weak from set pieces, so we need to target corners and free kicks against em

Really been annoying me that we’re not scoring off corners. We seem to be getting lots of them too

This would require getting the ball past the front post/first man. I'm not sure we've done that too much recently (especially without playing McNeil)

We'll still need to nullify Bowen, Paqueta and Diouf for it to be "comfortable" on Monday. Don't forget we'll have another game before them, too.

"Serious conversations" | ExWHUEmployee | West Ham manager update - The West Ham Way

West Ham appear to be in the process of getting set for a new manager to take over from Graham Potter, with ExWHUEmployee providing an update

www.thewesthamway.com

“Ideally for the board they would get to the summer before having to make this decision because I believe there is a break clause in Potter’s contract so that he can have his contract terminated for no compensation. It doesn’t seem possible though for the former Chelsea boss to keep his job that long.

“The other strong contender is former West Ham player and manager Slaven Bilic. I will talk a lot more about this on the podcast but I have been in touch with Slaven throughout the weekend about this. He believes he can make the club more united because he understands and loves the club.

Apparently no compensation required to sack Potter, and @SLAVEN BILIC is also being considered (again)

A tough, close win for the mighty Blues.

If you get to a point where you think games against us are unwinnable something has gone badly, badly wrong,
