I wasn't expecting this team today but thinking about it it makes sense. Yes Potter has worked with them for a while so he knows them better than he did but this will be the first time he has seen them in a real PL game for himself.
To be fair, even though we made very hard work of it, this team did actually manage to survive last year so it makes sense to see them for himself before making wholesale changes. Give the players a chance to see if they can play the way he wants them to.
I suspect it will be a fair few games till we see a settled team playing the Potter way.
Personally I think we have made some really good signings and have the makings of a very good team but this is a transition period from last years team to what Potter and Tony want, and we may well lose games during that transition until we get it right.
As the man said, keep the faith.
