As the title states, before kick-off do you think that Potter sits the team down and tells them a formation for the game ahead “okay lads, we’re playing 4-1-2-1-2 today and you’re playing LB, you’re playing RB etc” or do you think he gives the players individual instructions based on the rough place on the pitch he’d want them to be rather than defined positions and formations?

One of the best things about us is that we change formation during a game without changing personnel

Think the players get to know the formation and tactical instructions five days or so before a game and the actual lineup some 48h before the game

GPott is a reactive manager - not proactive.

He's great at assessing how the other team are beating us and nullifying that.

But for someone who can do that so well, he's staggeringly shitehouse at imposing his side, on the game, from minute 1.
That probably happens only 2 or 3 times a season.
The rest of the time he hands the advantage over and plays ketchup.

No, they are too busy getting their kit together and changing having only found out whose playing when the team is announced an hour before kick off, no time for a team talk, that happens at half time.

Judging from last night, an hour before kick off they were probably all in the pub.

Is this a serious question? Who would think in this day and age a Premier League manager/coach would send their team out for a match without telling them the formation and tactics to play? Even grassroots under 10s teams have a formation/tactics talk before a match.

Yes of course and every player knows their specific role.

Was this a thought based purely after one bad game or the rest of what's been a successful season...

We often don’t take advantage of the advantage we have so that the opposition take advantage of the advantage we haven’t taken advantage of.

In other words we usually have the upper hand, most possession, most chances, most shots. Then we concede.

Its like Jazz football

HP's sauce on opposition gives him an idea, he conveys that to the players through the medium of interpretive jazz on a saxophone.
