West Ham claimed a vital 3-2 win over Fulham at the London Stadium last night.
It was the first home game for Graham Potter as Head Coach since he took over from Julen Lopetegui last week, with a clear impact already evident as the team produced a spirited and united display.
Potter, although admitting it wasn’t the perfect performance, was understandably delighted, who have provided a huge morale boosting win as we look to get the season on track in the 2nd half of this season.
“It feels brilliant, it really does,” Potter told the clubs Official Website. “Three points, a very, very committed performance.
“It wasn’t perfect, of course, but the attitude and the effort and the willingness to fight for each other was certainly there. It’s a great foundation for us to build on.
“We rode our luck a little bit, but at the same time, I thought we forced the errors. We were proactive with our pressing. We were proactive with our defensive idea to try and create some chances.”
Potter paid tribute to the Hammers fans who again gave their full backing to the new boss, as he stated he’s excited with where he can take this club given time.
“It was great, it was stressful, it was exciting, it was frustrating. It was all those emotions, but that’s what we’re here for,” added Potter.
“I have to say a big thank you to the supporters who got behind the team. A brilliant welcome, so I’m really, really looking forward to developing the team and taking more points.”
