West Ham manager Graham Potter is experiencing pressure from supporters after a challenging start at the club, having dropped to 17th place in the Premier League with only 13 points from 14 games. He compared this pressure to his previous role at Chelsea where he was dismissed after only seven wins in 22 matches. Potter expressed frustration over the media's reactions to his emotional responses, underscoring that a human reaction is expected from a football manager when facing such circumstances. Despite a winless streak in seven games, the team narrowly avoided relegation this weekend.
I feel the pressure of 62,000 West Ham fans - it's a massive club with a desire to do better than we are, so you feel that.
As I get older I care less what you guys [the media] think, to be honest. I'm happy to just be myself.
My reaction was a human reaction from a football manager. I'd be surprised if there were too many other managers who would give you any other emotional reaction than what you got from me.
At the end of the day we are not winning so you have to accept that.
