#85 Shock and Awe

Jack and Cal break down Sunderland 3-0 West Ham, as the Hammers and Graham Potter lose their first Premier League fixture of the season at the Stadium of Light. They discuss what exactly happened to cause the second half collapse, breaking down each of the goals, how responsible Mads Hermansen was during his debut, what went wrong defensively and how the team reacted to going a goal down, asking how to stop a tailspin after going a goal down. They look at what changed tactically for this game compared to West Ham's performances in preseason, what stayed the same and how Potter's side adapted during the game. They also ask what, if any, positives are there to take away from a result like that. Timestamps: (00:00) Intro (02:10) What on earth just happened?
