Yes I meant the magnitude, but to the last point, thats the point of this conversation, we'll never know what we would have done under Potter in the Europa League. But based on the evidence I don't believe we would have, his approach was far more pragmatic.Once again, I have not said once that his approach lost us that game. I think they beat us because their team was simply better than ours. I do think that his approach led to the magnitude of the defeat, and thus lost us the TIE (which we may well have anyway - had it been in the balance, they'd have surely picked a stronger side than they did, for the second leg).
As to 'getting there' - its pure conjecture. Under Potter we might never have made Europe, let alone won the group. Or maybe we would. Impossible to know. We had a VERY good side.
