West Ham Premier League position predicted by supercomputer after Liverpool loss
West Ham have endured a season to forget, with their latest defeat to Liverpool providing even more misery.
Graham Potter’s side fell to a late 2-1 defeat away to Liverpool on Sunday afternoon, and it has been an all too familiar feeling for the Irons faithful.
Throughout the season, West Ham have looked fatigued and far away from the levels expected of them, and things haven’t improved much since Potter took over.
In fact, things have got worse, with the Irons dropping four places in the league since his appointment, showcasing that the regression has continued.
Potter is surely under pressure at West Ham
Given his pedigree and reputation mainly from his time at Brighton, Potter’s appointment was largely met with excitement, but things just haven’t gone to plan for West Ham under his stewardship.
Attacking-wise, the Irons have looked pitiful, and that has been the main cause behind their wretched run of form as of late, with Andy Robertson’s own goal the only time they looked like scoring against the league leaders.
| Liverpool v West Ham | Goals | Shots | xG | Possession |
| Liverpool | 2 | 15 | 1.68 | 55% |
| West Ham | 1 | 11 | 0.91 | 45% |
As it stands, Potter’s side sit 17th in the Premier League, and according to the Opta supercomputer, things arent expected to get much better between now and the end of the campaign.
Based on their predictions, West Ham are forecasted to finish 16th on 42 points, meaning they are likely to pick up just seven points from the next six games.
David Moyes – What could have been for West Ham
Potter will get time, but a failure to improve will see people question why he was afforded it, with there being little to no evidence to suggest that he deserves it.
Almost every other side that have sacked their manager this season have responded positively, with Everton the prime example.
Under Sean Dyche, they looked Championship-bound. David Moyes came in and they appear to be on course for a top-12 finish, showcasing the impact he has had.
Moyes was linked with a return to the London Stadium in January, and it is starting to look like a missed opportunity.
