@mywhufc @HammersUnited2 I don’t know - the stadium only opened in 2013 but I wasn’t really paying attention to their seating arrangements. What I do know is their half empty stadium had a better atmosphere than our full one 🤷‍♂️

@dansilver_ @HammersUnited2 Do you think Nice set up a singing section to attract Ultras to it? When the Palace mob 1st appeared did the rest of English football fans not Laugh Or sing “what the fucking hell is that”

@HammersUnited2 @mywhufc Was at Nice vs Auxerre on Friday. Less than half-full - 18,600 in a 36,000 capacity ground - yet the atmosphere was 100x better than ours because this lot were all stood together. I know it’s not our traditional culture… but maybe we need to try something new?

@mywhufc Yep. This is the modern world. Who’s have thought we need to do this? Without standing there’s no chance of any atmosphere ever. Re-create what we have away and we will be somewhere better than where we are now. Which is nowhere

@TheSullis We must have more than that, Stratford centre has got to be less than a mile away.

@dansilver_ It feels like night and day compared to the football under Lopetegui.

Enjoyed that despite the result. A threadbare squad competed throughout and on another day with another referee would have got something out of that. ‘Graham Potter’s claret and blue army’ the end too 😍⚒️

@dansilver_ I had a properly good day out up at Villa today. Loved it and the team fought hard. Like a team. Onwards to Chelsea!

Great point for West Ham and a fantastic second half performance. Imagine what Potter might be able to do with actual attackers and centre backs 😂

@Hammers091 Not saying we don’t need new/better players - and we definitely need strikers. Just not sure we need the wholesale clearout we normally see when we change managers

@dansilver_ I think we need two strikers. Replacements for coufal and Cresswell- we have good youngsters but can’t rely on them with no good back up, or at least I don’t see it as sensible.

@steve_cowell Avram Grant might want a word, but he’s definitely in the bottom two

@Hammers091 I’m not sure it needs to be that drastic. This is a good group of players - they were just made to look very bad by a very bad coach. Plus, we have young players coming through who will now get a chance

@dansilver_ I will try. I can just see the summer coming. Needing two strikers. Couple of midfielders. At least one CB. Replacements for coufal and Cresswell. It’s an awful lot of rebuilding…again 😭😂

@FatGoalieE15 100%. If Lopetegui (or Moyes tbh) was still in charge we’d likely never have seen him

@dansilver_ Delighted to see the young players getting on too. Scarles was great again.

@steve_cowell The way this squad were made so average by Lopetegui was genuinely criminal

@gizzi_m I am. And that might be unfair - and wrong ofc. But who is the independent DofF in this set up? Sullivan?

And so it's come to pass. A return to a structure where the role responsible for a long-term strategy (recruitment) effectively answers to a short term appointment (the manager), and the owner does whatever he wants regardless. West Ham are *so* back! #becarefulwhatyouwishfor
