[Albion] Pick one thing to blame

[Johnny RoastBeef]

Sadly not winning a couple of home games in 2020, constant tinkering with the side, he is clueless,

Oh and he's more boring than Hughton..

I would have played Welbeck from the start today, in a must win game, instead he plays the non scoring munchkins...

Welbeck is being handled carefully, he's not yet able to start 3 games in a week.

And as you know, we've had the chances to win loads more games, but sadly didn't take the opportunities our good play deserved.

He changes the team (tinkering) looking for a combination that will deliver results. You can't complain about results, then blame the manager for changing things trying to find a winning formula.

As for boring, he's paid to entertain us on the pitch, not in interviews.

You crack on mate justifying Potter, he may come good in the end, here's hoping,

Bloom is backing him too, but he did hold on to Hyypiä for far too long.

I also have my reservations that Potter would get us out of Championship if we had the misfortune to get relegated.

Bloody short arse Mat Ryan again, right?

The inability to take chances, simple

This summed up today

With the possession and the fat number of chances and shots created this season, its very difficult getting around that this team is in need of a strong, quality striker or a dangerous winger. No other team is even close to having this poor shots-to-goal ratio from all of their strikers. Maup has been disappointing, Welbeck is decent but not much more and Connolly is very promising but should optimally not start as often as he does. The club needs another striker to take the next step, its pretty basic stuff.

Maupay, Connolly & Welbeck are horrifically out of form when it comes to shooting. This has infected the whole team with players like Ali-J, Trossard and Bissouma unable to shoot on target. Added to that, Webster & Dunk can not get the ball on target from set-piece situations. It’s a disaster. Sadly, we’ll get relegated if this is not resolved. I’m very happy with everything else the team does, seems that the Sanchez pick means that we don’t concede every single ****ing shot on target anymore.

We just need some shooting confidence - can your man give this to the players somehow?

Yes, because Wellbeck did so well with the open goal, in the other ‘must-win’ game, on Wednesday.

Nope, sorry this was a must win game at home...............................................

Luck. I genuinely believe that even after a decent sample size of games. Finishing has been poor, but Everton and Leicester away were the only games were I felt the lose was 100% deserved.

We looked so dominant late last season and early this season with Alzate and Bissouma together

Why has he changed it constantly since?

 

[Skaville]

Lack of confidence in front of goal
Lack of luck (another deflection today)
Struggling to replace the irreplaceable Murray

Set pieces. Can't score from them, concede from too many of them.

Imagine if we had a James Ward-Prowse in the squad. We'd probably have scored 3 or 4 free kicks and actually got a few goals from corners too.

Please explain what Potter is doing wrong in your opinion.

What would you do differently?

I said on another thread your playing Sheffield Utd why would you start your two smallest strikers when the game was made for 6ft strikers to combat the defence. We looked pony until Welbeck and the Swiss lad started to harass them. Personally think we would of won with Welbeck starting today the other two pathetic performances.

This! Credit where it's due we are trying to play the passing game but we are just a bit slow and predictable.

Lack of creativity

I don’t think he feels Alzate has the nous. We were conceding far too easily when it it was him and Biss.

Because big = immobile.

And we dont have any big strikers bar one whose minutes are being managed.

Less than 1 in 4 shots on target

Under CH, 21 shots and 5 on target were 4 games worth. We will start scoring for fun soon*

*please

And I'm sure Potter would agree, unfortunately Welbeck is being treated carefully and 3 starts in a week was considered too much of a risk.

Not alot Potter could do about that today, without risking losing Welbeck for an extended period through injury.

These are the things he has to think about that you and I don't fully understand.

We conceded nil in two of the 5 games he has started.- we have only kept a clean sheet in one other game.
Against United, of the 3, one goal was an own goal and one a penalty. Against Chelsea, of the 3, one was a penalty, another from a corner. Against an inform Everton we were desperately overrun and outplayed, admittedly.
But, i think that is a bit harsh.
