It seems we're now in the Lord Voldermort scenario where it turns out it's actually quite difficult to rid ourselves of Potter

I bet any team that played a couple of days ago didn’t make 6 changes not play a striker and losing at home with 3/4 strikers on bench only bring one on

Unfortunately some are just happy to sit there and watch us sink down to the bottom 3! If your not going to question a manager that makes 6 changes, doesn’t play a recognised striker and can’t win games ........ what’s the point!

Think it’s sack or fully back with cash at this point really. Not a lot of faith in Potter now but I’m not too convinced that another manager will get much more out of this squad really.

Probably need to bite the bullet and pay £30m+ for a striker. If we still go down we will recoup selling Bissouma, Lamptey, White anyway

It's not in Bloom's DNA to do that.

We really are not. We have played well in a couple of games, we keep possession but this playing good football is nonsense. The ball goes sideways and backwards. We have played well at the beginning of the season but been dire for months!

Absolutely nailed it.

This good football talk is becoming a myth... yes we pass the ball around but often with no real threat or danger to the opposition. At the beginning of the season it was passed at pace and with energy but now it’s become pedestrian and predictable.

Guys, like I've said. Allardyce is unavailable. Warnock, Pullis? If you guys are happy withe ball just going end to end maybe we should ask Judy Murray?

We play well in the middle third, the issue is upfront.

The issue is rookie Potter, who is a ****ing nitwit, Masters ffs...

Poor at both ends of the pitch ... which to be honest is where it counts.

I’d argue if we picked a settled back 3/5 we might improve but the Potter wheel of fate doesn’t allow that to happen.

We played 2 days ago...players needed a rest. We made changes, we dominated the midfield and failed to convert chances.

Clearly we see differently. I believe in the long term vision, you and many others want instant success. Without us spending big on players, it won't happen overnight. I don't want us to become a reactionary club a la Watford and chop and change. We need an ethos...Potter brings that, we have to back him and spend on quality to finish these chances

Arsenal made one change from Chelsea game Striker for striker

You asked for CH to be sacked the same way. Cannot keeping on sacking we have to give managers time although we have spent loads and have made no progress other than better looking football, in fact results wise we have gone backwards...

In reality we haven't spent loads since Potter came in. In fact our lack of expenditure this summer was shocking. The football is good, the conversion rate is awful

Changes were baffling
Maupay gets a goal and must have been raring to go again
Alzate must have been on high to get on last week after weeks out but gets dropped after 45mins
