Two of Chelsea's January arrivals - Mykhaylo Mudryk and Noni Madueke - were influential going forward, but struggled to track back and Rice cited that as an area where West Ham were able to enjoy some success.

He said: "With the team they put out they started really sharply, really quickly. They had some really, really good players on show. It took us a little while to get going and adapt to their system.

"But once we found out their weakness, getting the ball down the sides of them and realised their wingers weren’t really tracking back. We managed to get the goal from that and exploit that. The last 20 minutes was there for us and we could have nicked it."

Interesting comments by Rice...

That can't possibly be true! here any player who isn't the [maligned player of the month] is always a win/win by definition!
Mount tracks back as did Werner! the horror! 🤭

Can we stop using Arteta as a an example of why we should give a midtable manager more time? Arteta has worked with Guardiola and plenty of silverware as assistant manager under his belt plus a respectable playing career. However, as an Arsenal coach he has won just the Anthony Taylor FA cup so far and looks on course to squander an 8 point lead. If they are still top after their second City game, then fair game but till then questions marks remain. If the board have some valuable insight in why GP is one of the best then we have no other choice than trusting them but the rationalisations we get from journalists supposedly itk are flimsy at best.

Their momentum is indeed bad, and reckon losing Jesus has finally caught up with them.

Interesting thoughts from Tuchel's ex-assistant coach Zsolt Lőw

That's what many of us have been saying from the first day. It isn't a question of "what's Potter ceiling as a manager?", because that's not a question to be answered at a club like Chelsea. He should've done more *before* getting a shot at Chelsea, and of course! it affects how much sway Potter has with the players. Brighton is just way TOO different from Chelsea as a club, which made the assignment really odd in my mind.

I'm convinced that Potter does not have the squad like Tuchel once did. I think he's got some players playing for him, but not nearly enough. The club is giving him support, but it is all about whether the key players will buy into that or not. Time is on their side, which makes for all the "player power" these days.

I respect wanting to make a difference and supporting charity, but mourinho would never let himself get photographed doing that. He even sounds like a wetwipe in the interview.

 

Well, that was publicity action after all, so they surely wanted to use their image for this. Respect for Potter and guys for engaging into charity, but whose twisted idea was this thing? Making rich people pretend homeless people AND doing this in front of group of paparazzis is hardly a tasteful thing, to say the least, imho, even if done with best intentions in mind.

Who gives a fuck what Mourinho would do with his private life.  G.Potter is a humble human being who shows that he himself is aware of those who are less fortunate. Showing humility to those who suffer doesn't warrant being called a wet wipe. 

This isn't his private life though. He is being photographed and being put on the Internet. This picture is doing the rounds on social media with no context.

2 years ago! It's good he supports a charity..its a annual thing as well and has been done at the Bridge and other grounds before either supporting this charity or another. He even says he is a patron of the charity so it kinda makes sense and Brighton did and still does have a high level unfortunately.

Yeah, of course it is and I'm not even digging on GP or anyone who participated here. It just seems a very odd and rather insensitive form of raising awareness for me, but maybe it's just me.

Imagine getting upset at someone doing charity work.

It's The World we live in today. Soft as fuck, everyone has something to say but is offended by everything said or done.

Googled out of curiosity and although a bit different situation/charity wise articles and pictures came up of Jose when he was supporting Spurs and their charity during lockdown sorting out and delifeirng food packages to elderly etc...again years back but still...Good on them.

Jesus Christ we're at the point now where the poor bloke is being bashed doing charitable work

Would be strange indeed, except that nobody did that.

What I read above was a criticism of the tastefulness of the whole thing, which I also find questionable. Little or really nothing to do with Potter himself tho.

As an *extreme* example, had Potter been wearing a blackface too, then I'm sure more/most people would think it was tasteless. The way it happened, only a few/couple did. Really not a big deal. 🤷‍♂️ Nobody is saying he shouldn't do it.

Again, very cool he's involved. Normally, for rich folk, it's better to just donate money, which is a better use of their time (and money), but for public figures, their actual presence does make for a more powerful message, no doubt about that. 👏

If it were to end with Potter, I would look for Hansi Flick.

Flick has the 2nd best overall points ratio in Bundesliga history after Guardiola Hitzfeld,Van Gaal,Klopp etc are behind Flick.

Flick has made Davis,Kimmich,Sane,Gnabry,Lewas record season Coman,Goretzka,Alaba and with the promotion of Musiala all a notch better again.

Enrique can't speak English I don't want to see at the Bridge 

Poch will go back to tottenham which is also his level.

Tuchel is history.

Zidane is not a project manager and can't speak English.

Flick also has national and international titles in his pocket.
