I fear that’s him done now whilst Southgate’s in charge. I can’t see him being trusted or given another chancez
Weak header but they still had plenty to do for the goal

Yes please.
Is it PotG?

I agree, it is.
I love Dunk, and JP too. But at the VERY top level mistakes cost games.
Tonight was a friendly against a second string Brazil in development, but in a Euro final or alike it would be remembered forever.

At least Lukaku is injured!

Maguire scored an own goal previously but that didn’t stop Southgate.When Dunk came on we were 1 down inside 5 mins. Directly from his error.
Dunk’s only allowed to play in friendlies, anyway.
Sometimes row Z or dare I say “going distance” with a clearance is okay. It may not be the RdZ way but it can be necessary.
This argument can be used against every manager who’s never coached an international team though.
I agree it’s a different gig to club football but I’m sure Potter could get a system together, and find the right players to operate in that system.

Why on earth do you think Bloom would employ him again?
As I understand it, Barber and Bloom remain on cordial terms with Potter. I believe Bloom is very emotional about the “90 mins + time added on” bit of football - but the rest is business. I doubt he took it personally.

Southgate is a clown. He actually reminds me of a younger Hodgson. All presentation and zero substance.
Konsa at RB when he also had Gomez on the bench. Gallagher in CM when he’s a 10. The continued selection of Maguire. The continued selection of Rashford.
England created next to nothing tonight.
I too hope he is the next Man U manager.

Managers move on, but don’t usually take 9 staff all at once with them. Two or three maybe?
How long would he last when he gets another offer?

And in other news Ferguson misses with awful penalty against Belgium.

When RDZ moves on he will probably take 12 or 13 with him! If Tony wants Potter back it’s probably a good shout.
They'd be the 12 or 13 he brought in with him though!
Chilwell’s been exposed in recent months as shit. Was he literally the only fit LB?

I don’t know. We were in an outstanding run when Potter was poached. It started with the.2-1 win at Arsenal and ended with that 5-2 against Leicester: 30 points from 14. Was far from an easy run of fixtures either, so I reckon there’s a good chance we’d have still been top 6.
Amazing run of results. Shame many can’t bring themselves to acknowledge it even happened.
Potter gets better by the week. Almost no one repeatedly reminisced about him for 15 months.
What’s changed?
It can’t be Potter, because he car crashed in his only job since. I can only think that people assume RDZ’s going to resign for a bigger challenge?
