1) We enjoy watching the team play

2) The team, despite false observations, seem 100% behind that approach.

3) Most people accept Albion simply have a finishing issue- which is a personnel problem.

4) Potter is an intelligent manager, a view promoted by most independent analysts.

5) Who else would we appoint ?

'Potter out' is a drop and run statement. It only has value if you can offer a sound alternative.

This.
All of it

But we sat off them and invited the pressure in the second half after a brilliant first half performance. Why hasn't Potter learnt that you can't sit back on a 1-0 lead? Why hasn't he learnt that the high pressing and speedy transition of the first half suits us much better? Why hasn't he learnt that Ali J is not the ****ing answer?

Has Potter ever managed to successfully adapt to a team that has changed their game plan during a game? It’s as if he sets out to play a particular way and that’s it whatever the opponents do.

Successful managers react to what is happening in the pitch but Potter seems totally unable to do so.

The Jahanbakhsh substitution was just baffling.

I’m at a failure to see how people would want a manager that yeah makes us play nice football, but it stops there I do not see him doing anything else other than getting some nice passing that leads to no where, same ikr tactics, teams, and results. All the potter in people will still say “He’s good for us!!!!” He’s not, he’ll take us down

Sometimes teams get relegated. It doesn't mean the manager needs changing. Ask Burnley.

Code:
And Wellbeck. Guy is useless and costing us a fortune in wages. Has Tau shagged Potters missus cos he can’t be worse the DW or AJ and at least runs.

Did Welbeck get any mud on his kit tonight? I don't remember him doing anything.

Do you remember, long long ago, in Potter’s first game in charge against Watford, we were winning and he brought on Maupay and Andone and we were all like, ooh that’s a very attacking change as we are already leading? Good times, eh?

Very deflated after that first half performance. It was of so predictable that Leicester would be better in the second half and we would have to weather the storm but we just don’t help ourselves do we. Lallana should have been taken off around 55 minutes, Trossard should have been taken off not long after and either Tau or Izzy should have been brought on to add some pace for a counter attack. Once again it’s a story of what could have been :(

How many goals conceded from set pieces this season?

Zonal marking has got to go. These players are not up to the job of effective zonal marking so why persevere?

Bloom sacked Hughton because he had put our Premier League status at jeopardy. Potter is doing exactly the same.

No. 5 is a good point, I can’t answer that, I don’t enjoy watching us loose or draw every game after not being able to score, if he’s intelligent I would love to see some good subs at good times when players are CLEARLY knackered.

Lallana was spent at 60mins and needed subbing, Trossard just didn't get involved at all, he seems to have got worse as the season has gone on. Biss was also below par again

Lallana, regardless of the goal, needs to be shown the door.

He's on too much money (I imagine) and he's not got the legs anymore.

Waste.

Shake up required for the next few games i'd drop: Trossard & Gross for starters. We simply lacked pace in the 2nd half and made it very easy for the Leicester defence and midfield.
Get izzy in on the wing and Moder in the centre of the park. Got to try something different.
