Graham Potter Thread

[Vesper 30,085]

we have HUGE holes everywhere

it is hardly Potter's fault

I refuse to start trashing him over the shit he has to choose from (for many reasons, especially injuries)

[Vesper 30,085]

here is a long term bottom line

almost every player I was against buying has been SHIT on overall balance

the list is LONG

[Bren 41]

I'd see most of the squad go before Potter. Not because Potter is the messiah (I think he could be good but he still has a lot to prove), but because we have too many incredibly weak-minded players. They are CL winners but equally failed in 4 domestic finals in 2 years (3 FA Cups and a League Cup). There's something about the squad that makes them fall into very negative patterns of play at the smallest setback or slightest sign of resistance from the opponent (counter-pressing, physicality, or whatever).

We often have these kind of off seasons. But, we always bounce back from this. We finished 10th in 2016 remember, 1 year later we were champion. Lets look forward.

re post

is it any wonder we are in the dirt??

 

Issues with all of these, either injured or shit buys or no longer good enough

Wesley Fofana   
Kalidou Koulibaly
Marc Cucurella   
Ben Chilwell  
Reece James 
César Azpilicueta    
Jorginho 
N'Golo Kanté 
Ruben Loftus-Cheek 
Kai Havertz
Hakim Ziyech 
Raheem Sterling  
Christian Pulisic 
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang 

 

plus we lost £80m plus in CB's (Rudi and AC) on frees, including 'soul of team' Rudiger

we also completely fucked up and passed on Tchou, who will likely soon be the best DMF on the planet

plus we also have these shit buys still on our books

—    DF    Ghana GHA    Baba Rahman (at Reading until 30 June 2023)
—    DF    France FRA    Malang Sarr (at Monaco until 30 June 2023)
—    MF    France FRA    Tiémoué Bakayoko (at AC Milan until 30 June 2023)
—    FW    Belgium BEL    Romelu Lukaku (at Inter Milan until 30 June 2023)

 

and we had these shitters (who are finally gone, but were huge busts)

    
Timo Werner
Emerson
Michy Batshuayi    
Kenedy  
Matt Miazga  
Ross Barkley  
Danny Drinkwater    
Saúl Ñíguez

no we do not

that 10th place finish was a freak

[Johnnyeye 7,501]

just to think that all this shit started because of those fucking sanctions on Abramovich and the club. Fuck Boris Johnson and the UK government always.

[MoroccanBlue 5,375]

If we sign Nkunku, Leao, Enzo, Gvardiol, etc and Potter still manages to try and fit both Mount and Havertz in the team, then Sack him.

It's like the club fell asleep at the wheel over the past several years. The squad hasn't been built and maintained with any kind of vision or common thread.

You're all scumbags.

100% agreed. Genuinely disgusts me. Websites like WAGNH have not even given him a sliver of a chance either. This in a nutshell is why we've been on a consistent slow slide downwards for 10 years now.

Yes people will turn on him bcos how can a player like Zakaria who put on a match winning performance and scored a goal in the last Chelsea game not even get a few minutes play today. It was so glaring our mid field was weak!!! Potter doesn't have a clue!

Arsenal are doing good now but that's after a very bad season of two with arteta. 

Now not one bad word. 

I will still wait for another season. I don't understand the reaction of people here when this was expected from day one.
