The problem with Nagelsmann is that, like Potter, he changes both tactics and players too often.
Much of the criticism against him from Bayern fans was that they did not build any continuity at all, which is one of the problems we had with Potter.

As for the mico-manager type of coach obsessed with perfection, you exactly described Enrique.
That's why I lean more towards Enrique than Nagelsmann.

The only constant with Nagelsmann is that Havertz will be the first name on the team sheet. 

And that in itself is a frightening though.

Not if he gets him going and plays him properly.

I get Nagelsmann but why Enrique? Total clueless with Spain at the world cup. 

I'm intested in knowing why people not big on Pochetino. The owner clearly wants long term as well youth in the mix. And Pochetino is perfect with that. 

Plus with Enzo in the lineup I'm sure Pochetino would love to work him. 

I see what Todd wants and to me Pochetino ticks all the boxes. 

Enrique, has all of the trait of a successful manager. Look at the success of Xavi, Arteta, and Pep all play a similar style. Who cares about Spain, we are not hiring him to be an international manager. 

Pochetino was lackluster outside of his spuds stint, which he didn't win anything. I am not convinced he won't have the same issue as Potter, not being able to handle the consistency needed to win at Chelsea. Failed to win the league with PSG his first season.

But Sarri did much more than "shitty" tiki-taka?
He won EL and got our wooden legs players to actually play good football at times.

Personally, I would have liked to see him stay and get the same backing that Potter got..
Too bad he really wanted to go home to Italy again.

That's why I rate Enrique so highly. They fall into the same "coaching category".

Matt should seek help.

He will heal some day for sure.

However I wonder whether Leicester are actually aware of their interest in Potter or it's just a PR stunt of Law-like folks. Not like his Chelsea stint was a best ad for his services and Leicester is still bigger shoes, than Brighton, with rather ambitious take on things.

Honestly, I’d sign up for tiki taka football as long as we signed a bloody striker in the summer. At least we’d have some structure to our play, patterns that can be repeated game after game, moment after moment in matches. If Enrique is the guy I wouldn’t mind boring Barca style smothering teams with aggressive possession and pressing but we need an elite finisher for that to work. He had prime Suarez as his #9 during those successful years. Not anyone near Suarez’s level available to replicate that here.

I guess you havent watched Spain under him, he was using false 9.. 

And if they admired him so much why didnt we went for him but it was Potter. 

Also cant remember a young player who developed under him

The alternative is Morata though....

Potter was chosen by Boehly and Eghbali because they were probably sold on the idea Potter was the next big thing. I doubt we appoint Potter had Vivell, Shields, Stewart, etc had been at the club. 

You could say Umtiti before his knee injury. Think Barca have been pretty poor in the market during his tenure, and La Masia was a little stale.

If Enrique isn’t given control of transfers and could figure out a way to actually play non boring football in the final third, it would be good. But the likelihood is he will want a huge say, as he did at Roma and Barca and likely replicate that boring shite that Spain played.

Knowing the diva soft brat ass players we have this might actually become a problem. 

Yup the Potter appointment did not factor in the fact that it’s not just a job where you’re coaching talented players but also managing egos, convincing top players of your selections.
