Living in a De Zerbi wonderland
Mid table is quite a stretch.My word that article strikes hard.
"The urge has only grown stronger since the move to the new stadium, which remains by far the worst place in the country to watch football."
spot on, it's a terrible football ground.
"Potter, meanwhile, is practically a carbon copy: a man whose career is defined by neatly choreographed possession football, by sideways passing and nothingness in the final third. His Premier League record at the time of writing (at Brighton, Chelsea, and West Ham) is 170 goals in 156 matches, or 1.01 goals per game, significantly fewer than Moyes or Lopetegui."
OUCH! A statistically backed, longer (but less funny) version of The Guardian's "all passing, no scoring performance art project".
"The issues run even deeper, however. Under Potter, West Ham have no discernible style to speak of, the football ambling and futile as they drift towards summer. Whether that’s his fault or not is up for debate.
Either Potter has failed to implement his system and it is already too late for his ideas to take hold, suggesting another change will come around autumn this year, or it just isn’t possible to make bold tactical changes at a team floating helplessly in mid-table."
Or, maybe, both?
