Not point playing attractive, possession led football if there's no end product up front or more worryingly atrocious defending.

Far to many silly mistakes that'll always get punished by better players/teams.

Not going to happen, Potter is no bedwetter. The team will stick to its ideas. Losing to Chelsea, United and Everton wont lead to hoofball.

oh please. Yes we could sign the likes of Hendricks and Wilson - or keep Stephens and Duffy - play a different style, still lose away at Goodison, and then what? Wheres the progression, wheres the development, its just lower premier league until we eventually get relegated. No thanks

"No end product up front" when we're averaging two goals a game, is an interesting take.

Stick to what we are doing. We've been awesome all season, very unlucky to only have 3 points so far.

Wait until we play some of the bottom teams, not a club like Everton who are a lot better than us and are in their best form for 60 years.

10 goals conceded in 4 games is awesome??

we have end product when we have a go as we have proved regularly , when you are taking short corners and short fk's when you have 2 of the best headers of the ball in the league you know that something is amiss.

Putting a corner into the box (especially where there is a dodgy keeper) is not hoofball.

I know, since you are a masochist, that you are unwilling to understand that most teams facing Chelsea, United and Everton are going to concede around 10 goals against that opposition, this is however the case.

Why is the remotest criticism perceived as bed wetting on here? Surely the most irritating overused phrase on here. Sure Everton looked good but the key issue of set pieces will cost us against lesser teams. Our marking today was woeful as was our execution on a wet and windy day with an iffy goal keeper. Nobody is advocating hoof ball but you need to adapt to the game as it played out. So many times today we managed to turn attack into defence from good situations.
