Indeed. As I posted on the Potter thread. Worrying sigs that Potter can't manage games when the opposition wakes up. Sit back and wait to concede seemed to be the tactic. A la Moyes and a load of deadbeat previous managers before him.

I can see why this guy has a lowly 32% win percentage as a top flight manager.
 
 
 
 
Do fuck off you bore.

Summerville stays on we win, simple as that.

Hardly Potters fault that players aren’t fit enough.

All you fucking do is the same old “ I told you so “ shit and quite frankly it’s boring.

I’ve seen positive signs but we need some new blood.

If we'd have survived the 90 minutes it would have been a miracle. When Fulkrug and Summervile went off we reverted to type, Inability to keep the ball, poor passing in mid field leading to free runs at our goal. The equaliser was a disgrace but it had been coming.  First Half hour was very good but they seemed knackered by half time. That result was all down to Floppy, and we should be grateful he is now gone. We need a clear out now

What a shower of shit Villa fans are!

Cresswell on the left and AWB on the right looked better than Coufal and AWB on the left.

Having lost Antonio and Bowen already, losing Fullkrug then Summerville was a big blow. In particular, Summerville was our best player. It was a terrible decision to give the corner, but we still have to defend it and we didn’t. Fuck knows what Paqueta was doing, but he usually fakes injury when he fucks up.

We still desperately need a new midfielder and probably a striker now.

To those demanding the chequebook, we have to be a bit careful: we’ve got a lot of ageing, shit, injured or out-on-loan players taking up a big chunk of our PSR payroll.

We probably need to offload some players (even if it’s those out on loan moving permanently).

Ings, for example, is on £100,000+ a week. And he’s utterly awful.

We need more pace. We need more movement. In every area of the pitch.

Do we ever expect anything from old man Ings? A terrible Moyes panic buy that's gained more hair than goals in the last two years.

We need a few signings, but we'll have to sell. It'll be interesting to see who goes as much as who comes in.

Well Potter's going to have to a wizard to turn this bunch of players into a team. Some positives certainly first half and Scarles and Summerville were excellent but as soon as gaps open up the lack of pace is clear. Ings shouldn't play again, absolutely useless, and Coufal is done. At least with Scarles we have a left back but at he very least we need a centre back, box to box midfielder and a striker. I'd even take Rashford on loan if it meant we never saw Ings again!

Potter is a big big improvement 

Squad is wafer thin.

Get the checkbook out Sullivan 
 
 
Pretty much agree with this mate. I think he is going to be forced into getting in some replacements but what a fucking difference after one training session. Got a really bloody good feeling about this now.

Positives from the way we tried to play. Ultimately,  the injuries and the lack of any depth in the squad, Ings etc being dross, cost us.
give Potter time and a transfer kitty and we will be fine

So 2 centrebacks, 2 wingers, 2 strikers, 1 Fullback, and 1 keeper all out injured now. Right then.

How shit is Ings?

What a complete waste of space. Two decent chances at the end and he scuffed them both, after anonymously wandering about since he came on.

And he’s our only fit striker!

Of all the people on the pitch you’d expect Ings to put that away. WTF 
we’ve had so many chances to get at them in the last 10
