"For the second successive home game at London Stadium, West Ham have finished with many of their fans having left long before the final whistle. A 3-0 loss to Tottenham on Saturday was greeted by boos from those still inside the ground at full-time. Two defeats, eight goals conceded and just the solitary goal scored on home soil makes for miserable reading for manager Graham Potter that is only going to increase the pressure he is under."
"But afterwards, the former Chelsea boss remained defiant. "I understand because the scoreline is the scoreline and I understand why people are upset," he told Sky Sports. "We are a new team and we have to stick together and focus on the things we've done well and see where we can improve." West Ham fans will have their own thoughts on this question, but the statistics do not make for pleasant reading:"
"West Ham have conceded 11 goals in the Premier League this season - their second most at this stage of a single season in the competition. They conceded 12 in 2010-11 and were relegated. The Hammers' three defeats in the Premier League this season have all been by a 3+ goal margin (0-3 v Sunderland, 1-5 v Chelsea, 0-3 v Spurs)."
West Ham have suffered heavy home defeats and poor attendances as fans exited early and booed at full-time. The team lost 3-0 to Tottenham, marking consecutive disappointing home performances. West Ham have conceded 11 Premier League goals this season, their second-most at this stage, and three defeats have all been by margins of three or more goals (0-3 v Sunderland, 1-5 v Chelsea, 0-3 v Spurs). Since Graham Potter's appointment on 9 January the club has the worst Premier League record among the 17 ever-present teams. Potter's win percentage at West Ham stands at 27.3%.
