Graham Potter makes three West Ham changes for Brighton after decision on Niclas Fullkrug outburst
Graham Potter returns to the club where he really made his name as West Ham take on Brighton in the Premier League – and he’s making changes.
It is a meeting of two sides in woeful form when West Ham face Brighton at the Amex.
Graham Potter is feeling the heat at West Ham already after just three wins in his first 14 games,
His old club Brighton, who have been in the race for a European place all season, have dropped off of late, failing to win any of their last six matches.
On paper it is a good time for West Ham to be facing Brighton.
Potter not impressed by angry Fullkrug rant
But the Hammers were lucky not to be beaten by already relegated Southampton at home last weekend, being booed off after a 1-1 draw.
A man Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler will know all about is his German compatriot, West Ham striker Niclas Fullkrug.
After the draw with Southampton last weekend, Fullkrug blasted the Hammers in a TV rant which went viral.
The big striker, who has missed most of the season through injury, labelled the team “s—” and said half the players aren’t listening to Potter’s tactics.
Fullkrug also questioned the mentality and attitude of his teammates in the explosive rant.
