We’ve had our three. You’re not allowed more than that or it makes them look TOTALLY incompetent
On a scale of park the bus managers Potter would sit between RDZ and Hughton. We have a squad good enough to take City on Potter style, but I wouldn't go the full Hughton or RDZ, both would be too risky if you ask me.

Hard to predict until we know who the new manager is and new players are

What the he'll do you expect with 7-11 injuries for most of this season?

And yet City, Champions of Europe, multiple cup winners and who are on their way to a 4th successive PL title, play in an almost identical fashion, just with better quality players.
Don't write him off just yet.

With Caicedo, Ali Mac, Mitoma and March, sure you go toe to toe with City and other top teams. With the players available at the moment it is arrogant and stupid to play that way. RDZ doesn’t do pragmatic so if he can’t adjust his tactics to the players at his disposal he needs to go…imo

Because of Boxing Day
Oh well, at least Southgate got to run his tape-measure over Dunk tonight.
Because what about all the other games this season where Everton looked like they couldn’t be f***ed? He’s a dreadful manager.

Why mention Hughton then?

If we always blame the ref, then we have no chance of improving the result next season, because the cause, and therefore the solution to our performance and result, is deemed outside of our control.
If we think the outcome is outside of our control, then we won't work to improve on it.

As I keep saying, there's no reason to suggest injuries will get better. Simply no logic in that. Only variant will be who gets injured.

You completely trash our team yet can’t even see that the second foul in the box by Gvardiol warranted even a VAR intervention? Seems very selective analysis of the night’s performance if you don’t mind me saying so
I’m not blaming the refs for us losing but we were at the wrong end of some flawed decisions which certainly didn’t help..Mancgull

I agree. The Hughton style of playing to mitigate a thrashing is no way to play. We try and play a high risk, possession style game, but against City they are the masters of it.
We kept going and played our style with a depleted team and with a couple of decisions going against us. No lack of effort.
It’s how we play against Bournemouth that will be a better barometer of where we are at present.

We outplayed Utd earlier this season, certainly, but let’s be honest, the cup semi-final and the late 1-0 home win were 50/50s.
I was out on 78. Still a massive queue for the train.
