Jamie Carragher issue brutal verdict on Graham Pottter, and it was absolute spot-on as fans are in total agreement

### Carragher Demands Potter’s Sacking After West Ham’s Humiliating Derby Defeat

In the aftermath of West Ham United’s dismal 0-3 loss to Tottenham Hotspur on September 13, 2025, Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher has unleashed a scathing critique, calling for the immediate dismissal of Hammers boss Graham Potter. The London Stadium clash, a fiercely contested derby, exposed West Ham’s frailties as they slumped to their seventh straight Premier League home game without a victory, leaving them languishing in 18th place and deep in the relegation mire.

Tottenham, under new manager Thomas Frank, dominated proceedings with clinical efficiency. The game turned decisively in the 47th minute when West Ham midfielder Tomas Soucek was sent off for a reckless high challenge on Joao Palhinha, reducing the hosts to 10 men. Spurs capitalized swiftly: Pape Matar Sarr opened the scoring from a corner two minutes later, followed by a stunning long-range strike from teenage sensation Lucas Bergvall in the 62nd minute. Micky van de Ven sealed the rout in the 78th, heading home another set-piece delivery. West Ham, despite early promise from Jarrod Bowen and Mohammed Kudus, offered little resistance, managing just three shots on target against Tottenham’s 14.

Carragher, a former Liverpool defender known for his no-nonsense analysis, didn’t hold back on Sky Sports’ post-match show. “This isn’t just a bad day—it’s a crisis,” he declared. “Potter’s been given time since taking over in January, but results like this scream for change. West Ham are rudderless, leaking goals from basics like set-pieces. Sack him now before relegation becomes inevitable.” His comments echo growing fan frustration, with chants of “Potter out” echoing around the stadium and social media ablaze with calls for action. Potter’s tenure, which began with promise after replacing Julen Lopetegui, has soured amid a winless streak and defensive woes, including a recent 3-0 thrashing by Sunderland.

West Ham’s owners now face a pivotal decision. Backing Potter could cost £60 million in compensation, but sticking with him risks further decline. As Carragher noted, “The board must act swiftly—fans deserve better than this embarrassment.” With tough fixtures against Nottingham Forest and Wolves looming, the pressure is unrelenting. Potter’s post-match admission of “poor execution” did little to quell the storm, leaving his future hanging by a thread.
