Seems to have ruined Maupay. Doesn't have a clue about set pieces. Hasn't brought anyone in to work on finishing. Thinks Dan Burn is a left wingback. Got Alzate looking really good in CM then mysteriously binned him. Gave Sanchez one game then not even putting on his gloves when there's a PL and U23 game on the same day.

We do play pretty, pretty football though.

I find this the most baffling aspect of all. He was quite clearly an emergency stop gap, now Potter seems to think he's Roberto Carlos?

We're 16th because we're one of the five worst teams in this division and I can't see us winning at home all season.

I don’t think he should be sacked but I do wonder if our good football would get the results it deserves if he didn’t tinker with the team so much.

I was on the Roar when Burn first played a few games. I made the point that every coach that has seen him rock up since he was six years old had told him "and you, son, are playing at centre back".

Clearly Potter and Ashworth know better :rolleyes:

Fridat night matches and Fridat night drinking are not good for me.

It seems obvious that we failed to sign a left sided wing/full back.

So he has to make do with either Burn or Bernardo if March is not available.

I am most surprised that we still played Ben White in midfield against Burnley.
Bissouma did a superb job as a defensive midfielder. Did we really need White in midfield too?

Surely Mac or Alzate would have been a good shout?

Funnily enough I felt so positive we’d be top 12.

But you’re right, we’re very pretty, but have such limited offensive threat that you have to wonder where the next win will come from.

Happy to bet we don’t finish bottom 5 and happy to bet we win at least 3 games at home if you want to name a price and take either?

Odds get a bit difficult with the combo but you're on with the positions. I get 20th to 16th inclusive and you get 15th and above. £20 to REMF?

Welbeck looked good. Keep him fit we’ll be fine. I would VERY much like to see Ben White back in defence and Alzate in centre midfield though, please.

I'm saving this overhasty quote for the next home win.

Quote it, bounce it and shove it up my hairy backside every time we do because I'll be so happy I won't give a shiny shit.

Don't have the keyboard primed for Liverpool though.
