Sounds like the manager isn't.

...and he helped give them the first goal with a tired and misplaced pass.

With what result?

With a squad totally unsuited to the physical rigours of the Championship. Say goodbye to some of our best players and with a manager with no experience of getting a team promoted. Its an ugly 46 game battle. Not a pretty football feast. TB has pinned all his hopes on Potter succeeding in the...

Thats because no tweaking goes on. Its just the same old game plan and the occasional like for like sub. I am waiting for this man to show me the tactical nous needed at this level.

They have Burnley and Newcastle ( last day ) at home. Be surprised if they don't get six points. Outside of that, reckon they need another 4-5 points to finish above us.

Been on the red wine since early in the 2nd half, when we could all see the game changing. Persuaded myself that we could hold out for a draw, if we were mistake free. I should have known better. Need at least another hour to unwind. This side is driving me mad. Glug glug.

Agree completely. The worry is, the in game management never changes. We try and play exactly the same way for 90 mins, even though the opposition change their style. It appears passive and somewhat naive but I am assured that Potter is the bees knees, so I will bite my lip and wait for the...

Blimey. I wish I shared your confidence. After Soton and Newcastle ( likely return...one or two points ) we are facing United, Chelsea and Everton. We could be on 27 points with 6 games left.

A suck through the teeth, a rather wistful look and the inevitable....." It is what it is "

The fans wouldn't be reacting well to his passivity in making changes. They are quick to detect a game changing and would be letting him know in no uncertain manner. Hughton got endless stick and Potter is getting an easy ride at the moment.

He is a lightweight luxury that we cannot afford, particularly at the moment. You can't go through 90 minutes continually giving the ball away. Great if you are 3-0 up and safe from trouble. Absolutely not the answer if you are in a muck and bullets relegation struggle and every tackle won and...

You've got a very short memory. We have faded badly in a lot of second halves this season.

Its down to concentration levels and thus to fitness. We switch off too often, late in games.

It happens over and over again. Bright first half, fade badly in the second. Tonight, you visibly saw players flagging. Lallana was knackered early in the second half and his tired mistake led to their first goal. Concentration levels dip at the end of games and we play the price. The manager...

After the death of his Mother, he was happy to live in this country and be part of the Royal institution. He represented his country with civility and with honour and respected his position of being born into service. He worked diligently for all patronages that he represented. He had a close...

Not where big money is involved.

Early cautious start but went a goal down through some bad teenage years. Changed playing style, halfway through first half and really went for it, throwing caution to the wind and going 3-1 up. Comfortable position at HT. Wife, kids, mortgage meant a more pragmatic style, sitting deeper and...

Shankly and Liverpool were desperate to win the FAC. Since their formation in the early 1890's they had failed to win it. It meant far more to them than winning league titles and it was Ian St John who headed the winning goal in 1965 v Leeds. A really good mobile forward, who later found fame on...

I don't care if the stats point to us being a top quality side, without a decent striker. We are a very long way from that. How many of our defence or midfield would get into a top 8 side? Even if we were scoring more goals, we still wouldn't be a top half team. We are work in progress. If we...
