I have several times, but Potter did say he was happy with the squad, and he still has to get what he can out of these players. No manager gets what they want without question (unless they’re Ferguson, Guardiola or Klopp).

So what you’re actually arguing is a point I’m not making? I’ve not once said I want Potter out. But I do want him to have better options and be a bit goddamn bolder sometimes. I don’t go to football matches to watch great tactical play like a 3D chess match and not care about the result, I...

So who is to blame for having everyone in the box but not crossing it in your book? I’m not blaming Potter for that individual decision, it’s the culture of ball retention over all else. It’s why we get free kicks and throw ins in the opposition half which inevitably end up back with Sanchez...

Don’t think I’ve ever seen a player blow hot and cold as much as Trossard. When he’s good he’s really very good, but so often you forget he’s even on the pitch.

Imagine thinking we’d actually finish above Palace, though

Every season someone nobody has talked about being in the relegation fight ends up bang in it. Just saying.
