That has been the most impressive thing about Potter's early reign at West Ham. An injury crisis and a striker shortage has not prevented him from making progress. He has got the team playing well, is giving young players like Ollie Scarles the chance to shine and has an entire squad bought into to his plans.

Arsenal had a chance to eat into Liverpool's lead in the title race, but instead of ratcheting up the pressure, the Gunners crumbled vs. West Ham.
