Potter Out

[THUNDERCLINT]

Had enough of this arogrant no mark now.  

11 games, 27% win ratio and 0.66 goals per game.

Either the break clause is true or this flake quits otherwise were proper fucked.

Isn’t that what we pay him for? You know to make saves.

 

So he doesn’t deserve praise for making a save that a lot of other keepers in the league would’ve unlikely made the first time of asking 

It’s unlike you to give praise, I thought you were having another dig at Potter because Areola bailed us out by playing well.

However if you’re giving praise then I agree, he’s playing well as usual.

Wasn’t having a dig, just saying one of the reasons we won was cos Areola made 2 quality saves, not saying he had shots raining down on him the whole time, it was just I wouldn’t expect many keepers to make 1 of those 2 saves let alone both 

just cos I’m not a fan of Potter don’t mean I’m not a fan of West Ham 

[Massive Attack]

Because Areola's not very good at the other important stuff like commanding his defence, claiming crosses often glued to his line, piss poor distribution with an occasional error thrown in to the mix. For me he's the modern day David James, almost uncanny how similar they are. Great at the occasional eye catching save which is his forte but not enough for me to feel confident about him between our sticks as our No.1 in the League week in, week out. 

Two positions in a Team I value greatly is a consistently good Goalkeeper and Striker. Both ends of the pitch that can either cost or get you valuable points. Get those 2 positions right then filling out the rest of the Team becomes an easier task as those positions can get you out of jail or set you back if you don't choose wisely. 

And I still regard both those positions need sorting if we are to seriously progress up the table challenging for Europe again. Fullkrug and Areola for different reasons are not reliable enough to either stay fit, or score/keep out goals at a high enough level for us to progress. I just don't feel confident that Fullkrug can manage to stay fit enough to play in games being 32/33 next season. We need a 15+ Striker to kick on and I just don't see him producing it. A few years ago in the Premier League maybe but not now and why I wasn't surprised with the season he just had. Just 3 goals in 18 appearances.

"Was there signs of a turnaround or were Man Utd simply that bad?"


We didn't play markedly different to how we've been playing, slow controlled possession, Man Utd were on top and we scored against the run of play, and after that, they were absolutely diabolical. No urgency, no pressing, just meandered through the game, perfect for our slow ponderous style.

If we play against teams next season with no central midfielders worth a rub of salt, then yes, there are signs of a turnaround.

 

 

Exactly how I saw it. We played our same game and it kind of happened that there is one team in the league even worse than us!

It feels like where trying to be an Italian side from the mid 90s or something. Some good controlled passing at the back etc but against the top half prem teams we’d get utterly destroyed the way we did play (as evidenced by our 1st win since feb i think?) 

if he gets 2 energetic midfielders in then maybe. But we will lose some of our better players in the summer and I’m not sure if it all adds up. 

I still think Potter should go. No one with his record deserves to be in charge of a PL club. 

[Nutsin]

Also Areola making some quality saves, one of them being world class definitely played a huge part in getting the 3 points

Areola made a couple of unbelievable saves that nobody would have criticised him for, had they gone in.

i agree, he makes them all the time. Yet there are those on here that want him replaced.

[Maverick180180]

Man Utd were dreadful.  But we were alright, considering the starting line up.

There's a financial cost for Todibo playing the full game, I reckon.

I didn't bother watching it yesterday, I just couldn't be arsed which shows how bad Potter has done. Then I see the teamsheet and laughed, then we win 2-0 in which seems a pretty convincing win. 

Was there signs of a turnaround or were Man Utd simply that bad? 

I see Roriguez was crying at the end as he realised his dream to play at Old Trafford......is that the reason Potter picked him?  No mins for Ghillurme or Scarles or Orford again......Todibo still can't complete a 90. 

Towards the end of Moyes it became 'until he goes i've lost interest with West Ham' and it feels that way already under Potter. Shame to say but it does. 

"Was there signs of a turnaround or were Man Utd simply that bad?"

Bit of both I would say. We looked good for periods of the game. If its a physical turnaround only Mystic Meg (RIP) will know. But, yes, Man Utd, were that bad.

I'm not so sure you can say all of a sudden that we can see what Potter is trying to do. If he needs to buy and sell players to force his own system onto the club then that's not really being demonstrated by his actions and decisions in recent matches, the fact we won this one after a string of losses and draws doesn't explain his starting lineup, formation or substitutes.

I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm saying that this result hasn't mitigated all the previous results, there is no discernable pattern and he could probably win a lot of us over, myself included, if he used all his media training to deliver a clear message to the outside world as to what his intentions are and the end goal, because I couldn't see it before yesterday and I still can't today.

Fair do's. But I didn't say it was all of sudden. I also didn't say this performance mitigates the previous bad results. I am not letting him off the hook.I do agree that some of his actions and decisions in matches have been wrong.... Or just downright poor. That's his to own. Those decisions may well still be his downfall. I also fully agree that he needs to be more honest and communicate his intentions. 

I am merely saying that you can clearly see that Potter is trying to instil a more controlled possession game. There are patterns to the play. I thought there was some good periods in the Man Utd game and moments where we looked good and the players looked comfortable and positive with the ball. Moving it forward, he is going to have to recruit players that are better on the ball, more aggressive going forward and a goal scorer to actually make the most out of that controlled possession game. 

This isn't me acting positive for the sake of it. Although, I would say that surely there has to be 'some' positive from a 2-0 win at Old Trafford. 

As I said, its a small glimmer. That's all.

A glimmer of hope for us fans. Albeit a small glimmer. 

You can see what Potter is trying to do. Summer window will be important. we need to recruit young, energetic players who can retain the ball. Whether or not we have the funds to do that I don't know....

But if we don't recruit well in the summer window it will be another tough long season.

91 other managers in the league and you compare Potter to Postecoglou

Yeah mainly cos I’ve just watched match of the day and Postecoglou is the one coming across as the biggest cսnt going, also saw Esposito Santos get asked much tougher questions and answered them like a gent 

what is your obsession with thinking everyone’s a spurs fan? Yesterday you questioned me when I said Kudus shouldn’t have been taken off? I answered the question making it quite clear I must of been watching the game, why wasn’t I watching spurs play if I’m a fan of them, and why was it you didn’t know that Kudus was having a good game? What was you watching?

You're right about Nuno, that journalist was bang out of order pressing him trying to get him to criticise his own chairman.

He answered diplomatically and with a smile on his face after a disappointing result and a public dressing down. Most managers would have snapped when pushed on this for three more questions than was required, and you wouldn't blame them. The likes of Warnock and Allardyce would have turned aggressive, Potter and Roeder would have shied away, this guy is class. 

Yeah I agree, came across as a proper decent intelligent bloke 

[Gank]

One thing I will say about Potter is, his press conference after the Brighton game weren’t the greatest, but at least he ain’t Postecoglou
Blokes an absolute disgrace, just seen his interview after the Palace game, can’t field standard questions without coming across as having the biggest chip on his shoulder and makes the most pathetic excuses
although I do appreciate what he’s done to Spurs in the league

I'm delighted for Potter as he isn't going anywhere it seems. At least Potter showed that he can win games but I do wonder at his selections, tactics and substitutions even though it worked out yesterday. However, this Man Utd was not the old Man Utd who would have definitely scored and punished our defence. Hojlund could have had a hat trick but credit to Areola who played a blinder. . 

However, I still don't see Potter as the man to get us back to European football anytime soon. Perhaps it's the squad itself rather than Potter? It was noticeable that we did better in midfield without Paqueta which may soon be the case anyway.

One sunny day after months of tedious losses is good but is it repeatable next weekend? I somehow think not... .     

[THUNDERCLINT]

THUNDERCLINT OUT! 

I’d definitely be behind that, stupid fucking prick that he is.

The advice you always needed but never received. Hope it helps.

[THUNDERCLINT]

Like Flopetegui, Cock Piss Plopper scores a pyrrhic victory against the worst Man U side in the last 50 years and probably the last century. Although Floppy actually beat their "stars"  while Cock Piss took the gift against the deadwood and smega.

Sadly it will allow the glowed up Brummie piss mop more time than he deserves and tragically the chance to piss our sumner budget away on Ramsdale, Brownhill, Webster etc...
