Re: Arsenal vs West Ham | PL | 4.10.25 | Predictions and Match Thread

A positive for me is that once again he gave Potts some game time and he gave Marshall a run-out.

Previous manager had no time for our youngsters.

Let's hope this continues.

Re: Arsenal vs West Ham | PL | 4.10.25 | Predictions and Match Thread

So other than the fact we didn’t lose by more, do any of you happy clappers have any other positives to take away from that game?     Are the happy clappers the ones not going into a meltdown? I'm not positive about the game at all. We didn't do much right other then keep the score respectable. But...

Re: Arsenal vs West Ham | PL | 4.10.25 | Predictions and Match Thread

We gave Arsenal respect because we are fucking shit and low on confidence. I can't remember the table but we were something like 2nd from bottom on rapid decline under Potter so surely no-one is expecting us to go to Arsenal and go toe-to-toe with them just because we have a new manager?

Re: Arsenal vs West Ham | PL | 4.10.25 | Predictions and Match Thread

I'm not going to panic after 2 games especially as that will not define our final league position. We saw an improvement against Everton in the week but we were pretty poor today.  You'd expect that against a much better team but I was hoping for a bit more of a fight. Happy to give Nuno and the tea...

Re: Everton vs West Ham | PL | 29.7.25 | Predictions and Match Thread

Really interested to see what midfield he plays without JWP and Soucek.

Could be a blessing and give us a chance to see Potts or Magassa.

Really hope it's not an anticlimax and we start the game with Guido Rodriguez instead.

Re: What style of play do you want from our next manager?

I just want a style that isn't all about avoiding defeat. I can swallow playing for a draw away at the big guns, just.

Re: Potter Out

Re: Freddie Potts

he might not offer exactly what we are missing, but before we signed Fernandes and Magassa, he offered us a much greater level of enthusiasm and energy in midfield, which we were definitely missing.

But now he is behind:

Paqueta
Fernandes
Magassa
JWP
Soucek
Guido
Irving

Two left backs/ left wing backs have gone in Emerson and Cresswell and one has come in. So Diouf replaces one of them, we are left one senior left back/ left wing back short. If Diouf gets injured KWP or AWB will have to fill in out of position. Back to square pegs in round holes under Sullivan and...

Re: Freddie Potts

The academy is dead under the current manager.  Absolutely no point in having one.

It is a fucking myth that he gives youth a chance - he's a bad as Moyes and Lopetegui.

Not a single youth player has started since Ollie Scarles in April against Liverpool, which was 9 competitive games ago.

Re: Summer Transfer Window 2025 | Official Thread

It would be just our luck that these 2 decent midfielders will be signed to play alongside Soucek or JWP and not Paqeuta which could actually be quite exciting.
Chances are we'll be brought swiftly back down to earth by selling Paqueta to Spurs for a small fee.

Really interesting video stating that we are in no threat of PSR rules right now.

I would only be surprised if Potter DIDN'T play Guido and JWP on Friday.

I fully expect our starting line-up to be pretty much the same.
