[Albion] Potter move signals Brighton's exciting change of direction

[Icy Gull]

**** sake, bloody NSC pedants

Can I blame autocorrect?

 

[b.w.2.]

"But Brighton have already moved on, securing a target they had clearly identified before Hughton’s sacking was confirmed. Graham Potter, having guided Swansea to 10th in the Championship in his first season at the club, is the Seagulls’ new manager, an appointment which signals a new direction for the club.

Potter, it can safely be said, will not be accused of playing drab and unadventurous football. Over eight years at Östersunds in Sweden, and then at Swansea, the 44-year-old earned a reputation as a coach who priorities possession-based, attacking football."

Good article. A few dullards on here need to read it, try to employ their brain cells and, maybe, just maybe, they will move on.

If “possession” football is a failure to needlessly keep giving the ball away and putting more than two passes together, I’m in!

Need the players to do it in order to be exciting.

Wage bill needs to rise substantially.

I agree, there wasn't much to admire especially from December onwards but Biss showed a lot of promise. The problem with the possession-based theory is we seemed to be unable to hold onto the ball last season. Hopefully Potter and his team can eradicate some of the sloppiness at times that cost us dearly. Do that and he's halfway there imho

Our biggest problem, in my opinion, was an almost total lack of movement into space. Attacks just ran out out of anywhere to go. Looking at some of the top sides, they never stop looking to find somewhere to receive a pass. Poyet's side used triangles the whole time he was with us and we were tough to get the ball from. Our current squad is more than capable of learning new techniques.

The more I consider Potters preference for possession based football, the more I fear for Dunk and Duffy.

Both are excellent backs to the wall defenders, but neither excell playing a high line. Duffy prone to the odd lapse in concentration, allowing attackers to pick off a careless backpass.

Dunk never comfortable when pulled out wide and harried by top quality wingers.

I wonder if Potter will decide to introduce a third CB? Someone who does prefer to play a high line and ideally with a name beginning with D for the sake of illiteration? Perhaps a converted CM in the Javier Mascherano / Vincent Company mould.

Someone like Eric Dier?

a) We'll never get Eric Dier if you are actually thinking of him exclusively.
b) Dunk is a very good footballing centre back, and I don't get why he'd be marking wingers? He also played a high line under previous managers before CH rocked up. So the whole Dunk thing is a little baffling to me.

I like the 'attacking' bit!

"Attacking".

*From Google*
- 2.
British
(in sport) making a forceful attempt to score or otherwise gain an advantage.

How about Romania’s answer to dier?

Not Dier specifically.

I can think of a couple of occasions when Dunk was pulled out wide, covering for his fullback, and looked very shaky. I think one was against Fulham at the Amex when Mitrovic completely bullied him out wide and drove into the box.

None of us are perfect.

Odd. Still works for me.

Also, if we did play three at the back, which on stats previously posted, I can't see happening to often, then, like England and Kyle Walker, Bernardo could make up that threesome?

Not a pressing game ? (which can be over done anyway)

Nothing about a high line either, more playing in our own half?

 

[Knocky's Nose]

Not sure that's fair on Biss.

Biss shows flashes of real talent, then swathes of laziness - so I think that's a fair call. He needs an arm round him, and a boot up the arse.
