He took Bissouma off at Halftime v West Ham - Replaced him with Maupay - We were 1-0 down- Yes not the 36 minute but it certainly worked as we ended up winning 3-1 with 3 second half goals

[Albion] Potters tactics

@ROBS BROTHER
See Swansman’s previous post.
You didn’t stipulate substitution, you said: “he saw that something wasn't working and he changed it. Something that he didn't do when he was here”.
Which is something he actually did all the time, changing formations and player position regularly and very early on. He’s always been lauded for it.

The way I see it is that GP was really good at not just seeing how something was not working but where. Zerbi demonstrated that today imo. You dont have to sub players to change the dynamics of play - just changing their position of play is often enough. Seems to me we have some very flexible players at BHA that Potter and I think Zerbi appreciated that when he scouted out Brighton.
EDIT sorry just repeating post #22 which I didnt read first before commenting.

Don’t worry, RDZ will run rings round Potters “so yesterday” tactics - Potter will wish he could use every single player on his bench to overcome Roberto The Brave !!!

What a boring game that was, some Chelsea fans saying it was like watching a TT game at its worst. He really fancies himself now give him hell next week lads and lasses.

Having watched all of Potters Chelsea games and obviously all of RDZ games (although only last 25mins of todays game)
I can see we have changed under RDZ - we are better playing out from the back, we seen braver, drawing in the attacker and playing it to the fullback playing it back to CB or keeper then looking to play it centrally to the midfield. our one touch passing at times is sublime- didn’t see this a lot under Potter, it was organised chaos playing it from the back !!

A win for the Albion and a defeat for Chelsea would be fantastic. Perfect game to watch the shitfest unravel with Chelsea fans if they lose to #teamslikebrighton
I am not optimistic that we’ll get better than a draw though

I'd be happy with a draw tbh. Chelsea didn't look all that great vs ManUre from what I saw.

strong and stable with me, or...
Which would be a very good result in itself.

I’ve moved on from L’il Ole Brighton fan happy with a draw, I am now disappointed whenever we don’t win, moving towards entitled these days

A lot of the time it’s not who you play, it’s when you play them, Forest a case in point. You might therefore be right in playing Chelsea at the right time, but we also need to stem a few defeats coming at us.I’ve moved on from L’il Ole Brighton fan happy with a draw, I am now disappointed whenever we don’t win, moving towards entitled these days
Hope his tactics allow for Cucurella next week. He's been shit

I’ve got this down as Rob’s first win, play them off the park lads bust ups on the touch line Potter sent to the stands whilst dodging a hail of bottle top lids
Edit: my comment is redundant
Sorry we misunderstood. We didn't realise that you think the only way to change something is with a substitution. Your comments make sense now.
The rest of us were thinking about him going from back 3 to back 4 at the drop of a hat. No, I don't recall any tactical first half substitutions either. The last one I can recall (apart from Potter at Chelsea) was when we lost 0-4 at home to Stoke (I think) in the championship about 15 years ago, and Adams (I think) took someone off at 30 minutes.
But as others have sad, Potter changed things all the time and is famous for it. The substitution yesterday just seems to me like a slightly more flamboyant example.
One of the most bizarre comments I’ve read on here for a while. If someone asked me what is Potter’s biggest strength as a manager I would say it’s the ability and willingness to change a game when something isn’t working. What the hell were you watching for the last two years!?
