It is a rather damning statistic that after 10 league games we are still awaiting one of our recognised strikers to score in the league

I think most felt it was very different this time round, though. We'd continued our superb form at the end of last season, playing fantastic football and finding the net regularly. Really felt we'd turned a corner. The start of last season we got a bit lucky at the beginning of the season. Very early days with RDZ and I've not lost any hope in him coming good for us but it's so frustrating to have lost all momentum we had.
We had one and we sold him to Everton. Leaving us with none.

So, we’re back to a problem that we’ve had under CH, GP and now RDZ. CH never figured it out, it took GP two years to figure it out. I’m not ready to write RDZ off after a handful of matches.
Our team are good at football, we’ve dominated the match, we have (as we do) failed to score. I agree with others that RDZ could make changes earlier. (Maybe 2 or 3 changes at a time to unsettle opponents)
We have to stick with the man that Tony’s chosen. He’s got a horrible gig, coz we didn’t want the last guy to go. He’s got to learn the language, get his team in, get everyone settled, get settled himself and he doesn’t get a pre-season to work with the team.
Keep the faith. Tony’s not a mug, we’re going to have to endure more of this before it comes right, but RDZ seems a bright guy who wants to get it right. The boos tonight were understandable out of frustration (I was watching from the sofa - if I’d fought my way out to the Amex midweek I’d be a bit pissed off too) - but the boos are so counterproductive.
We have to bite our tongues a bit and give him the time and space to work things out for himself. The players on the whole haven’t played badly, they deserve our support.

My point was spending £30 million of Tony's money doesn't guarantee goals.
We have options like Undav and Ferguson but don't give them time on the pitch.

But he has gone, if we had Haaland up front we might have won but we dont. Potter f***ed off.

Shame we failed to put that dodgy keeper under any real pressure, especially in the first half. He was a bag of nerves

Did you complain when we spent £20m on a LWB? Welbeck looked woeful tonight and he has zero credible competition for his place.

So who is this striker.
Great Post, couldn't agree more
It's an incredibly rare (completely unique?) situation that a team in 4th gets their high performing manager poached. Really tough situation to come in to.

What do you mean? Do you think I advise the club on transfer targets? Do I have access to world data bases of players form and numbers? Do I have my own team of scouts? Lol dumb response

We played the same way for 95 minutes with no change in tempo or tactics. If its still level at 75 minutes, you have to change something. Anything...

Our shooting is laughable.
veltman, Webster, gross. All decent positions and sky the ball!
that was potterball at it worst one pace, clueless in front of goal.
what is the point in bringing undav on for 8 minutes?
I can’t help feeling we have gone backwards in the last few games.
bring on the WC so we can have a break and sort out this

Eze, Zaha and Olise are better than our forwards.
They are shite mate.

Ah, but do you mean the Potter that left for Chelsea, or the one that arrived from Swansea?
Chelsea Potter - absolutely agree with you.
Swansea Potter - would be comfortable putting money on the same result RDZ got.
Mug.

Your the one saying about buying a striker, as if it was so easy, i thought u knew one.
