Well it’s interesting to me to compare those stats.
How about this stat. Potter has a win rate of 45% with a team that finished 3rd in the PL the previous season compared to De Zerbi’s 46.2% win rate with a team that finished 9th. That’s quite interesting too.
Interesting in so much as it’s comparing how Potter got on in a new club environment and players he’d not met or worked with before with De Zerbi’s first 15 games in the same situation (albeit in a new country where he speaks little of the language)
I thought he did really well for the club whilst he was here, transformed our style, improved players, but I always felt he was a little removed from the fans, that the crowd punches after the games were not really from the heart, just a mechanism to be with us in the moment. Only he’ll be able...
