No, just correcting the error as to why Hughton was sacked.

The good news is that we're first on MOTD.

The bad news is that we're first on MOTD.

Can't get angry with Sanchez there, he's been immense. Well played to Leicester.

Trap door looming now.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Potter looks like he needs a good glass of something strong tonight.

Tough gets paid a lot of money, he's failing

I am behind whatever GP decides. I love the way we are playing after wanting to kill myself in the last three months of CH’s tenure.

I get that some want him out, I don’t

I agree with your sentiments although I think you're a little generous with 'last three months'!!

I don't want GP out but I do question some of his decision making.

 

[hoof hearted]

You can be behind the manager without being behind each and every decision.

Ali J playing 2,5 minutes is a really weird thing to be obsessed about.

Exactly, you can. I'm not 'Potter out' but there are still valid criticisms to be made of Potter's in game management, yet some people seem to back evrything he does, which is odd to me.

It's not just about the AJ sub (and he brought on AJ in a previous game, which was just as baffling) but the other subs were just as confusing. I'm not the only one to mention Potter's strange choice and timing of subs. I'm sure it will be mentioned again next game by others.

 

[vagabond]

If Potter is the intelligent man he's purported to be I expect him to offer Tony his resignation soon but I don't think it will be accepted and nor should it at this part of the season.

What’s your reasoning for this indicating a lack of intelligence?

And sacrifice a 5 year contract pay out? That’s not a very intelligent thing to say frankly.

 

[Ethelwulf]

Potter is so so dull where is the hurt at losing the passion for our club

 

[The Fits]

Great game.
For the neutrals.

 

[Weststander]

I see the woodwork and clearly offside non-goal have crept into the discussion.

In any era, they’re simply not goals, end of discussion. White missed, Maupay unfortunately didn’t ensure that he was behind at least one defender.

Another post match distraction from an awful second half performance and loss.

No, just correcting the error as to why Hughton was sacked.

To be fair the full quote was

“Our run of 3 wins from 23 Premier League matches put our status at significant risk. It is with that in mind, and the performances during that period, that I now feel it’s the right time for a change.

GP makes blunders, we should be open and not blindly concur because we play prettier football than the 2018/19 dirge.

Mac Allister off - an awful call, with Lallana he creates and drives us forward.

Alzate - other than a deflected goal, he has no form in any position.

Trossard - that was a 2/10 performance, but kept on.

Jahanbakhsh - one of the worst Albion EPL players, yet we keep seeing the bloke.

MacA off - exactly the call the pundits made at HT.

Alzate - these boards filled with people wanting him in the team.

Trossard - who actually would you replace him with?

Jahanbakhsh - can’t argue with that one, but it was the 90th min when he came on.

Big positives: Lallana and Maupay looked a partnership.

 

[Charity Shield 1910]

The Leicester finish for their first goal says everything that we dont have up front. Calm, controlled finishing, with awareness of where the keeper is.

 

[GT49er]

Flippin' hell - this thread is growing faster than I can read it! Fvck that - I', off to watch MOTD (yes, sometimes I am a bit of a masochist),

 

[zefarelly]

Formaldehyde should do us a favour.

 

[Arkwright]

Games of small margins however the difference is the opposition take there chances as we don't.

I thought we were second to nearly everything second half and Leicester were the better side. We needed more from Maupay, Trossard and Gross all of whom weren't great in the second half.

The pundits .... who?

Why would they want Mac Allister replaced in a winning team that had outplayed LCFC in the first half.

Mac was decent, Trossard had a shocker in both halves.

I’ve not called for Alzate. I genuinely cannot remember a big NSC push for Alzate in the last week or so? Has there been one?

 

[Jovis]

How did Trossard stay on and why did Ali come on?

Quite honestly, this. Utterly anonymous. Waste of a player, may as well have had 10.

Weird I thought it was one of Maupays better games. Agree with the other two and would add Biss who has dropped off in the last few games
