English sports journalism is baffling at times.

"Sack Sarri and appoint random english man" campaign didn't quite work, but it's very funny he had apparently deleted the comments that called him out on his hypocrisy.

We see players loving their time here in "quite good atmosphere" in training videos and every piece of game when their body language is shown lol

I also can push any type of agenda I like with a few thousands of Twitter minions and "I'm told", "It is understood" and "It's heard that" stuff.

Reminder to not chuck personal insults at each other as it has a tendency to escalate into abuse. The music stuff is very interesting btw, arent Radiohead posh boys ? though superb songsmiths   but we need to discuss it yer......

Much better presser from Potter, it is frustrating because of course we want that fire and passion, or the outburst of emotion, but a much better presser in terms of being a bit more upfront about the fan situation/expectations, but especially pressure.

I can never shake the feeling I'm listening to an assistant manager, though.

It is accurate, but is it THE problem tho?

If I was to pick players actually struggling with the league from current squad, I'd say 1)Zyiech 2)Havertz 3)Lukaku, so it's bit unfortunate. Felix took like 15 minutes to adapt, Badman maybe 35.

Yes, we need to build some chemistry in the team, that's obvious, but it doesn't address the elephant in the room that players have zero motivation and are getting tactically battered by every opponent + in addition to not being clinical enough, there's no idea in sight how to actually produce goals except for waiting for some unnamed incarnation of Pele coming here and magically solving all the problems.

Today I also read that now the "rough preseason" is the cause of current situation, so it's hard not to laugh at this shit. Since we've got injured players back, the excus-o-randomizer now went from "injuries" to "players needing time (lol) to adapt".

We all see where the problems lie, so I'd much prefer us (as a club) to move from the diagnosis and trying to shift the blame onto Roman, Tuchel, Marina, Mount or whoever to actually solving them, and this is the part that for now seems unfruitful af.

I'd also be interested in some broader read about ideas of our new "mentality coach" from rugby team, as I had expected some instant, Mourinho-esque morale boost, meanwhile literally all our players look like disinterested, depressed Moomins to the extent where it's actually hilarious to watch them.

I think people demanding Potter is sacked will just be frustrated for the rest of the season. The owners seem rather resolved that he will have the next transfer window and will be the manager next season. There are zero signs he will get sacked.

The only silver lining is if we keep up getting these amazing players with potential in the summer it will be easier for the next manager to get back on track fairly fast.
