Did Potter not bring his own guy in for that? I don’t know the ins and outs, but I’m sure Potter will have a say in the type of player we bring in.

I used to be firmly in this camp. But what I’ve started realising is that part of the problem, for me, is the type of chances we are creating. Outside of set pieces, we only ever create anything in a crowded box due to the fact we are far too slow to work the ball around and into dangerous...

Yep. Far too predictable and far too slow in both the foot and mind. He's just not a PL player outside of relegation fodder. He will always work hard and put in a shift, but he costs us more attacks than he gives. We are a worse team when he plays. Some fans have some weird loyalty to him.

Having had time to reflect on yesterday, and watching the highlights back this morning, I believe our problem is just as much about how we attack than it is about our strikers (or lack of). Despite the stats, we didn’t really create many chances that I would expect us to score from (outside of...

Good post. I’ve been been this bored watching the Albion in 20+ years.

March, Trossard and Lamptey really weren’t.

I'd keep Lallana. Our squad is very weak in leadership and he is probably our most natural leader.

It's funny, because the Championship is a better league. - More competitive games - You never know who is going to be top 6. - More games for your season ticket. Better value. - Much less virtue signaling and politics - No VAR (yet) But, when you're in it, you aim to get out of it. The most...

Out: Duffy Gross March Welbeck If Biss/Trossard won't sign new deals cash in. In: (Undav) (Van Hecke) (Khadra) New CB New Winger New Striker

Perhaps. I don't know. But looking at the team news and seeing Sanchez in goal doesn't give me the same pain as seeing Duffy in defense, or seeing the team incapable of being able to create anything. One goal in SIX games (which came from a poorly defended set piece) is the biggest problem in...

His form has certainly dropped, but there are much bigger problems in the squad than Sanchez.

And we didn't even look like scoring in any of them. Like i said, he does well until you ask him to actually do anything of note.

He just lacks the quality required in the final third for me. He does a good job around the halfway line, but once he gets into that final third, he is out of his depth. No one can doubt his effort, for which I applaud him, but he struggles to beat his man, struggles to get a cross in, can't...

Sanchez Veltman - Dunk Lamptey - Bissouma - Cucurella Alzate - Moder Ale Mac Maupay - Welbeck

I’ve said it before, but Potter is a superb manager outside the penalty box, but a poor one inside it. Our attacking play is far too slow and predictable for the Premier League. Attackers spend more time with their back to goal than they do trying to get behind the defence.

I think we have enough good central midfielders. Biss, Lallana, Alzate, Mac, Moder all very good. Still not sure why we signed Mwepu though, especially with Caicedo coming through. We must prioritise goal scorers though, as you say. 1 striker (not inc Undav) 1 or 2 wingers, and 1 or 2 CB’s...

Potter is a superb manager outside of both boxes. One of the best in the league i would say. But inside them, he is one of the worst. More quality may help, but our attacking play is far too predictable.

All that talent on the bench, and he brings on Solly March. FFS.

It shouldn’t be surprising that our defence has turned to shit considering we sold £60M+ worth of CB talent and done nothing to replace them. Now having to rely on a player we had previously tried to get rid of and failed in Scotland. It’s easy to blame Potter, but he has his hands tied behind...

Trossard more interested in making the March showboat video than doing anything to win the game.
