It felt to me like the players were making a point. "We got the good start to the season. It didn't all go when Potter left. We still have it". They were laser focused with a point to prove, which they did.
[Albion] I needed that, now I'm over it and wish Potter the best

Exactly how I feel. What a great day and I haven't booo'd so much since I used to take my kids to the pantomimeHad a good old boo today, have had no time for Potter and delighted we smashed him today. That's the closure I needed, that's the humiliation for Potter and his team that he needed, and now I'm good.
Now I can happily say I appreciate his role in our journey, I wish him the best as a young English manager, and I hope he gets the England job one day. But by god we needed today, thank you De Zerbi, Trossard, Mitoma, Estupinan, Sanchez, Caicedo, MacAllister, Dunk, heck all 15 of them and all of you in the stands
4 goals, 'Sacked in the morning' and boooing Ben Roberts warming up Mendy at half time, my personal highlights

Excellent manager, but at a terrible football club, so I can't ever wish him well. A club which buys its way to whatever it wants, a club that worships John Terry, a club with a significant number of very unpleasant people amongst their fan base, who have a depressing history of racism and who in 2022 are still walking around the Amex singing "Brighton gay boys, Brighton gay boys" (I witnessed that myself today), a club whose chairman thinks he can just walk into English football and start up crap like the All Star game, a club who tried to walk away from the Premier League out of sheer GREED to form a European Super League.
And they will try again.
They are despicable. I am over the moon to have beaten them. And I don't actually hate Potter- I'm full of respect for what he did for us. But I wish him a miserable failure in his current role simply because of where it is.

I rarely read other clubs' forums, but thanks for posting. Can't stand them. And that just shows that they're clueless, the entitled twats.At least you wish him well. Biblical amounts of vitriol on Chelsea forum for him. Oh well, never mind!

They don't like Potter playing wing backs is the core theme, although they haven't understood how he deploys them, whereas this explains it and might jog our memories and capture that brilliant period from that Arsenal away game onwards:

Using Sterling and Pulisic as wing-backs is not without risk but it makes the team less predictable and is fun when it clicks

I’m not sure about wishing him luck, but it’s the last I want to hear of us banging on about Potter and Chelsea. Time to talk about Brighton and De Zerbi. The Potter chapter in our book is finishedHad a good old boo today, have had no time for Potter and delighted we smashed him today.

I'd got over it and then Potter acts like a wanker in the press conference. Same as it ever was. He is a wanker shrouded in a nice bloke persona.

I decided actually I'd take today over beating palace this season, palace will always be our rivals but today meant something more
Replicate that level of performance and (hopefully) a similar result, in April, and I might....just...get over it. Possibly.

I feel a sense of closure now, a lot of my anger has gone. We stuffed his team , made them look poor.
We have made our point and I can move on. GP is yesterday’s man and we look forward. RDZ out manoeuvred him . I love our manager’s enthusiasm, it must be infectious to the players .
I cannot wish GP well, but now a cool indifference.

The entitled vitriol after 9 unbeaten until yesterday, going from bottom to top of their Champions League group, is staggering.
Another two defeats on the bounce and I really do believe GP could be toast, however much time Boehly said he had. New owner, new manager are both going to find it going very toxic very quickly if things go badly now.
I can see GP and his cohorts regretting their decision to jump ship before the season is over
I too feel a bit sorry for him, and I hope I have shaken off my annoyance at him, Bruno and Roberts now.
I feel like this. And my preference would be somewhere like Barnsley.

I have officially moved on.
Many more results like that he will be jumping at the chance of replacing Fraudgate after the WC.
That sums it up perfectly. I hate the Palace games when we do badly and the Amex turns into a cathedral of hate. It was different yesterday. I am more than happy to say that possibly for the first time in my life I booed. It was Panto at its finest. And we smashed them. And hopefully that's it.Had a good old boo today, have had no time for Potter and delighted we smashed him today.
