West Ham manager insists ‘the players care’
Chelsea’s Enzo Maresca delighted with Estêvão’s display
Graham Potter accepted that he has to improve after West Ham’s dismal start to the season continued with a humiliating 5-1 defeat by Chelsea at the London Stadium.
Potter, who is desperately looking to strengthen his struggling squad before the transfer window shuts, did not hide from the situation after his side followed up their 3-0 defeat by Sunderland in their opening game with another atrocious performance. The former Chelsea manager has made little impact since taking charge at West Ham in January and there is growing unhappiness behind the scenes.
“You are under pressure all the time in these jobs,” Potter said. “In this situation, that is how it is. I know the territory, I know what comes with poor results and I accept that responsibility. It was too easy to score against us so I take my responsibility and I have to do better. That is the case with all the players. They are honest and want to do more than they are at the moment.”
