Pizy 18,953 Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Really hope Potter can at the very least get us looking like a competent side in the final third within a couple of weeks. Surely it’ll take a while to get us looking 100% transformed, but we VERY QUICKLY need to look like we’ve got a clue and some patterns to our attacking play. bigbluewillie and kc_blue 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superblue 6,372 Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Something to consider with Potter. His first two seasons at Brighton they finished 15th, then 16th and had real struggles with scoring goals despite the plaudits for the way they tried to play football. It's easy to look at their top half finish last season and the start of this season and ignore the work and the struggles that he had in the first two years at Brighton. Are people willing to give him that time here? Both board and fans. kc_blue, manpe, Blue Armour and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's early days at United but Ten Hag has shown what a coach can do in a couple of weeks (they were beyond abysmal). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think when a manager comes in with a clear plan, the level of players that we have will respond quickly. the new manager bounce is all well and good, but you have to have the players to make it happen.

different level 1,056 Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 (edited) I'm extremely disappointed, not going to lie. For the first time in a long time I thought we had a world class manager who is here for the long run and who we're going to back and give him time when things are not great. Now I feel like a dumbass and I'm not excited at all for the rest of the season especially when I see we're after someone as mediocre as Potter. I genuinely see this as the most unfair and premature sacking since Carlo in 2011. Edited September 7, 2022 by different level Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,953 Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Wonder where Tuchel lands btw. Fortunately for us there aren’t going to be any openings at the top PL clubs any time soon so this sacking won’t haunt us directly within our league. Real Madrid to succeed Ancelotti when he probably retires after this season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the comparison would be that despite maybe impacting the style of play, in terms of raw numbers and results, his impact for the first two years was negligible in comparison to Brighton under Chris Hughton, i.e. just about being good enough to stay up. He may improve our football in a short time but that doesn't necessarily guarantee improving our results. Would people accept potentially taking a step back to take 2 or 3 steps forward, and by that I mean a season outside the top 4 if we see an improvement on the style of play and are playing more exciting football?

If the team starts playing attacking football, that provides us with an opportunity to grow & CL football, he'll be given a chance.

MoroccanBlue 5,385 Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Anyone else feel this was a mutual agreement? The sacking makes no sense which gives me the impression during their meeting Tuchel stated he can't do any more with the team? whinni09 and Blue Armour 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real Madrid to succeed Ancelotti when he probably retires after this season? The talk was that, for him, Chelsea represented a last chance at a big club in terms of its suitability for him. If it didn't work out, he'd be content heading back to managing a team in the Bundesliga operating under the radar somewhat. Not sure if that stance has changed now since his tenure at Chelsea. His stock must be higher purely off the back of the Champions League win, but maybe in his mind he feels more suited to a team slightly below elite level. Say a Leipzig, Leverkusen type team (Leipzig has just sacked their manager so this might be one to keep an eye on). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hasn't seemed the same since the change in ownership, with the exception of that Spurs game. Muzchap 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vegetable 830 Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Players don't want to come here due to constant rotations and we are working hard for no manager to be willing to come here until desperate. Potter not Potter, gone before 2024. Seymop 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
