Is the new one in Twineham finished yet? Is it slightly easier on the eye? That one, nice as it is, feels a bit like the Old Trafford Cricket Ground media centre
Presumably the Potter fanboys that have spent the last 9 months slating De Zerbi will be on this guys case from the off because he got the nod?
All 5 of them.
Very excited about us taking a punt on a bloke who is essentially a child in football manager terms. Might be amazing, might be shit, most likely somewhere in between, but it will be good fun to find out.
The Athletic stuff makes it sound like he's a bit of a character too which is an added bonus.
Am astounded so many people think there's no danger of it. We need a new manager bounce and some very good recruitment or else we're going to be one of the teams the newly promoted 3 are going to fancy hunting down.
Yeah i think it's a stretch to get that interpretation. I'd love to know when Potter dealt without 5 of his best players for a huge chunk of the season
I'd say it's more like, a potentially world class manager was let down by a couple of dire transfer windows and a lot of people are...
For a man as I recall spent months telling us press conference were irrelevant and that some of us needed to get over ourselves for mocking GPotters use of the learn and take the positives line after every defeat, it is quite amusing how he manages to find some issue with RDZ using press...
It's also harsh on March, who i recall being pretty good at left wing back under Potter. But he wasn't delivering better numbers of assists under even Hughton, never mind RDZ.
Zeqiri probably a better example of an attacker wasted a wing back though...
I am not going to argue with all these points because I know you'll argue the toss until 4am if you have to.
But I pay good money to watch Brighton home and away. I'm not coming home £200 worse off from a trip up North watching us get beat saying "never mind we lost, because we won on metrics...
No not at all. I'd like to think consistent on this. Potter developed some players very well (not Connolly) and made them sellable assets. Particularly Bissouma, but some players hit the ground running from the Championship like White and Webster which was great.
He transformed the style of the...
This 20/21 squad finished 16th under Potter. It was filled with quality.
Sanchez
Veltman Webster Burn White Lamptey Dunk
March Lallana Gross Bissouma Mac Allister
Trossard Welbeck Maupay
You missed the calendar year without a home win and the run of 6 defeats on the spin when he literally wrote puff piece galore on how it was fine because the xG was good. Barber's puppet.
After 2 and a half years of bouncing around the bottom half not winning games or scoring goals? We've just had 4 months of it and people can't cope, imagine another 2 years of it
We had Welbeck for a lot of the Potter era. And Maupay
What has he done that makes him 'top top'?
If you look at some of the great players he had to work with, only really Bissouma
A lot of us are butt hurt because the guy delivered about 12 fun games in 3 years, whilst the rest of it was...
