I think its safe to say failure to get a result next week against them will caused a massive, massive uproar.

Not for me. Still think he's a quality player and once Potter smartens up and plays uncomplicated football and a recognizable formation, we will see the best out of him and our other signings.

Arsenal actually have balance and a proper midfield.

Way, way too harsh. Bloke has been asked to play out of position at LCB, where the LWB is no where near helping him defensively and there is a gaping hole in midfield. Cucurella, as our other CBs, have been fucked over and exploited. Cucurella isn't 2014 Cesar Azpilicueta. You can't expect him to take an attacker out of the game on his own.

In the sense they both like to occupy that #10 role. Havertz likes dropping to midfield from the ST position whereas Gallagher likes to advance high up from the #8 position. Add Mount in the mix and you have three players trying to perform the same duties or they are completely out of position.

Kovacic and Ruben are the same player. Gallagher, Mount, and Havertz offer the same thing. It's no wonder we are getting torn to bits. We have too many similar players on the pitch.

The root of every issue in this team points straight back to the midfield. Im at a point genuinely just to sell them all. Even Kovacic. All worthless.

Fitness? Did Azpilicueta or Chilwell play vs Salzburg?

But Potter isn’t doing himself any favors playing the same under performers on top of this defensively suicide tactic.

Perhaps not play wingers as wingbacks and leave them so high up the pitch? He’s done this against Villa, Brentford and Salzburg and the signs were there. Brighton now fully exploited it.

Project as it may, this high wingback as wingers approach is on par with AVBs defensive high line. Shocking management.

Then Potter out.

This is where I hope our new recruitment team comes in. Hopefully we buy some under the radar CMs that will improve us.

Yeah Newcastle fans are pretty calm and confident Bruno isn't going anywhere.

Much like against Leeds, against Brentford he misjudged a lot of his tackles. Pace of the league he really needs to get up to speed.

Amazes me, to this day, how some suggested we had too many defenders or too many midfielders during the transfer period. And how some wouldn't get playing time.

I did make a post a week or so before we signed Lukaku stating this signing would ultimately get Tuchel sacked. Looking how things unfolded, prioritizing Lukaku over Tchouameni and settling for Saul on loan, I was kind of right. Tuchel's bizarre thought process into thinking Jorginho, Kovacic, and Kante didn't needed to be improved on, will forever mystify me.

I'd like to worry about rejuvenating the midfield first. Otherwise, what's the point?

If we don’t bring in 3 or 4 new CMs next summer than we will experience the same shit.

Like I said. Inevitable. .

If Sterling were to come alive its this.

Didn't know they scrapped it.

He’ll be cup tied in champions league. Hence why I don’t believe it.

I mean if we lose and get out performed on Saturday, proof was in the pudding. We had winnable fixtures and rode some luck in a few of them. Let's see what kind of performance Potter and the boys display.

Sancho and Rashford vs Dave and Silva? This match has a sense of inevitability in it.
