This is a staggering achievement.

My understanding of the Potter situation at the time was, there was no release clause. However, Chelsea wanted him, made him an offer, he accepted, made us an offer, we accepted. Crucially we accepted because at that point it was sensible not to dig in and let him go, and not because we were...

Not after he's paid RDZ release fee anyway

So Spurs, Liverpool or Newcastle all possible in the summer. Juve or either Milan club not out of the question. There are certainly possible destinations. That's not the same as it going through

I understand it. Enciso the like for like sub, considering the position that lallana was playing in. The idea was not to disrupt the game plan 5 mins in

Bad day for RDZ. The stuff he tried, presumably the terrible corner routines, Enciso didn't come off

I'm sure they do and will normally. But RDZ has only short time to see the players who have been on international duty in action, so guess he wants to maximise that this week. Sounds sensible.

I suspect heat maps and average positions and plans to counter individual opponents are more talked about him dressing rooms. But formations are easier to discuss here I would suggest

Yes, I agree with this. The thing about proven managers, and proven players, is that often they feel as if they have little left to prove. Finding the up and coming is the ethos of this club.

Well. Obviously we want to win as many as we can and lose as few as we can, but so does everyone. In your example, P6 W1, D4, L1 is 7 points. If we can turn that into P6, W3, D0, L3, that would be 9 points. It's a difference which could be achieved without any particular upturn in...

Scoring and conceding more would be a good thing and an obvious development from our time under Potter. We draw too many games and under 3 points for a win, this keeps us down the table. And I couldn't care less about this stuff, but if we were more of a 4-2 to someone every week team than a...
