Overview

• West Ham began the Premier League season with a 3-0 loss to newly promoted Sunderland after a poor second-half display.
• Transfermarkt reports Potter’s record stands at 1.00 points per game across roughly 20 matches, the lowest among recorded West Ham managers.
• Graham Potter defended his players and urged a response, noting no new injuries, with Luis Guilherme still out and George Earthy back in training.
• CaughtOffside relays Foot Mercato reporting that Marseille are considering Emerson Palmieri, a potential exit that would thin West Ham’s left-back depth.
• Summer arrivals include El Hadji Malick Diouf, Mads Hermansen, Kyle Walker-Peters and Callum Wilson, yet Transfermarkt says the squad remains among the league’s oldest.
