West Ham's difficulty in attacking this season is attributed to head coach Graham Potter's questionable choices, notably during the 1-1 draw against Southampton. Striker Niclas Fullkrug has not met expectations since joining from Borussia Dortmund, leading to unconventional player positioning for Jarrod Bowen and Mohamed Kudus. The team's recent loan signing, Evan Ferguson, was expected to bolster their options but remains sidelined. Pundit Michael Dawson criticized Potter's decision to substitute Fullkrug with midfielder Tomas Soucek instead of Ferguson, emphasizing concerns about Ferguson's status at the club and his potential return to Brighton or a move to Leeds United next season.
In recent years, West Ham have struggled to recruit a prolific striker. Niclas Fullkrug was signed from Borussia Dortmund last summer, but he has significantly underperformed since his arrival.
Michael Dawson expressed bewilderment over Potter's decision to substitute Fullkrug with Tomas Soucek instead of the loaned Evan Ferguson, suggesting this highlights Ferguson's lack of confidence from the coach.
