Merson makes ‘mind-blowing’ observation in West Ham v Nottingham Forest prediction
Paul Merson Left Shocked by Forest Drama Ahead of Crucial West Ham Clash
Paul Merson has expressed his surprise over a dramatic incident involving Nottingham Forest ahead of their upcoming match against West Ham United this weekend.
Although West Ham have little left to fight for this season, they’ll be eager to finish on a positive note after what has been a lackluster campaign.
Since Graham Potter took over at the London Stadium, results have continued to decline, casting doubt over his future at the club.
Meanwhile, Forest are still chasing a potential Champions League spot, but their recent loss drew attention for another reason.
West Ham Eye Back-to-Back Wins
West Ham come into this fixture riding the momentum of a 2-0 win over Manchester United – their first victory in nine games, stretching back to February’s triumph against Leicester City.
Despite the win, Paul Merson remains unconvinced they’ll secure another three points this weekend.
Speaking via SportsKeeda, Merson said: “If Forest finish in the top half next season, that would be a huge achievement.
I still can’t believe the owner confronted Nuno – it was unbelievable, in my opinion.”
Merson ultimately predicted a 1-1 draw between the two sides at the London Stadium – a result that benefits neither team as the season nears its conclusion.
West Ham’s Season Already Over?
The Hammers have looked like a team on holiday for some time. If Graham Potter is to keep his job heading into next season, significant changes will be required.
Like under Julen Lopetegui, the team still lacks a clear identity, and results have arguably worsened under Potter’s leadership.
Recruitment will be vital in the off-season, but if doubts persist about the manager’s future, attracting top talent could prove difficult.
