West Ham suffered a 3-2 EFL Cup defeat at Wolves after leading 2-1 with eight minutes remaining, as substitute Jorgen Strand Larsen scored twice. The result followed Premier League defeats at Sunderland (3-0) and at home to Chelsea (5-1). The loss sparked an angry confrontation between fans and captain Jarrod Bowen. Former midfielder Nigel Reo-Coker warned of a bleak outlook and a possible relegation battle, criticizing a weak midfield, lack of a target man and poor recruitment. Reo-Coker also said manager Graham Potter appeared frustrated and unsure on the touchline, with body language suggesting he had no idea what to do.
It looks very bleak for West Ham right now. Things are looking tough. I think they will be in a relegation battle this season. There was just no fight or togetherness against Chelsea. They looked like a bunch of individuals. The biggest worry is midfield because they just don't have any legs or dogs of war to win the ball back. They look weak. They can't get the ball up either because there's no real target man. Recruitment has been a big problem at West Ham for some time now. They have no real direction in what they are trying to build or do.
You can always tell a lot by a manager's body language and facial expressions and a couple of times when the cameras panned to him, he looked like he had no idea what to do. Potter looked lost.
