Maty Ryan was superb for us, signed by CH because of his fantastic shotstopping ability and his incredible reflexes. I'm delighted we signed him and feel he played an imeasurable part in us remaining in the Premier League for three seasons.

He has been superb behind the scenes awaiting his chance, Sanchez has taken the opportunity and unfortunately that means Walton's future lies elsewhere. I wish him all the best

As you mentioned I referenced young talent getting game time, that includes Sanchez, Lamptey, White, Cucurella, Moder, Alzate, MacAllister, Connolly. An additional 6 members of the bench were U21's last night. I'm certain Potter is future proofing the squad for a time when big offers come in

Ultimately when we lose Bissouma just like when others follow over the coming transfer windows I'm certain the answer is already within the club. Potter seems to delight in bedding young talent and watching them develop, the message looks clear. If you are showing in training that you are good...

Shocking that a fixture would be postponed. We easily have 50+ players available within the academy that would be capable of playing as would most premier league clubs

Potter's philosophy wouldn't compliment any quick fix scenario. He is amazing at enabling players to develop their attributes and consequently the team will perform better than the sum of all the individuals. If Arsenal or Spurs wanted to commit to a long term project then Potter would be ideal...

It is fantastic to be difficult to beat but we have regularly created enough chances to win some of those draws and it feels like several scenarios when we have dropped points in a game. Our undoing may be the inability to deal with the parked bus, we have not been able to beat Newcastle...

Chelsea will play with 3 CB's and only 1 centre forward in an attempt to flood the centre of midfield our best chances may come from forcing them back. I imagine Potter will play a similar formation to the match 3 weeks ago which was: Sanchez, Lamptey, Veltman, Burn, Cucurella, Lallana...

Are biggest question remains around the preferred formation. With Dunk we played 5-4-1 in most fixtures but since he has been injured it has been 4-2-2-2 or a 4-4-2 with a diamond. The initial set up would be improved by another Trossard type player joining the attacks from a wider position on...

For A nation who have kept their own residents under such severe lockdown measures for the last 2 years it should've been straightforward. Not double jabbed so must quarantine. He did have a medical exception which allowed him to play in the tournament (been positive within 90 days so couldn't...

He has developed well this season, many doubted weather he could play in a defensive pair at the highest level and he is showing why he was a better purchase than Varane is proving to be at Man Utd. I hope he has a fabulous 2022 and gets to join the England set up, he isn't far away from being...

Unfortunately the competition isn't great and many who earn more than £25k/year believe that a Labour government would be a car crash. Our best leaders have been relatively central irrelevant of the parties they represent so for me Libdems is the best outcome, unfortunately they've not had a...

I think he adds something to the Newcastle side but clearly only a short term signing. He won't start ahead of Wilson and both can expect to be replaced within 18 months

I would be including Trossard within that group. I think our varying formation and the reliability of Lallana has hindered Moder's minutes on the pitch this season but would be delighted to see more of him

I cannot see the point in us having a third goalkeeper in the squad. Since 2017 in 170+ league matches we have only had the need to play our 2nd goalkeeper for one league match. Having two that will push each other makes sense but the third if ever required to sit on the bench could surely come...

If the country requires double jabs or a 2 week isolation then he should've made his choice. He has try to by pass the system and the people who have been so tightly lockdown have questioned it. I have no objections to him competing without getting vaccinated but then he should be required to...

Lamptey & Duffy....neither in my top 5 players of the season. Odd that they have made the premier league team

Our recruitment since Ashworth/Potter et al have both been at the club has been fantastic. Lots of highly talented youngsters littered throughout the squad and a handful of first teamers full of experience to help the transition period. We now have a large collection of ball playing centre backs...

Plenty of fans are critical of him. He is still learning the game, but his first year in the UK has been better than Bissouma's

I've not read the whole thread but Cristiano Ronaldo is a good example, he clearly has a lot of talent and favourable attributes to make him a good footballer but his hardwork and dedication have helped him to compete on a different level to most. Football as an industry is littered with...
