If we play well, then we might get a draw.
How did Potter manage to make Brighton play good football with midtable players then? Just a question.
Playing good football doesn’t mean getting high time results. And the former is just what fans want to see at the moment, that’s how low the bar is.
As a matter of fact, wasn’t Postecoglou praised that he walked the Australian and Japanese leagues playing attractive football using average players?
Levy doesn’t sign elite players- he sells them. End of.
Funny guy- you’re entitled to your opinion even if you’re going to act like a dick about it.Ahh okay, I see what you mean on not pretending to have a clue about football coaches
He needs more than Two windows for God's sake.
So the tail gets to wag the dog then. When will we learn that if the club doesn't apply pressure on the players to perform then the players will always f off the manager. The club has the player's contracts in hand, not the manager, so the responsibility of setting the expectations of performance actually starts from the very top. We've had previous managers criticize our owners negligence but didn't anyone listen to Harry Kane, arguably our club's best ever player, when he talked about how he was settling into Bayern. He said it's different over there because the expectation from the club on the players to win every game is overwhelmingly strong. You must win.
I'm apathetic to whether Ange is the right guy or not. It doesn't matter who we hire. My club is pretending to be a big club. We are not a big club, we are a big sports entertainment and property conglomerate. Big difference. Fuck these wretched owners.
Potter is a good manager, and even he failed at Chelsea because of overpaid rubbish.
Besides, Potter finished 16th and 9th with Brighton.
So we play a bunch of games mostly against the best teams in the league. Admittedly play poor and then sack and start again. This short termism is why build anything. Ange’s history is he does far better 2nd season than season 1. If he is poor next season he will probably go but he isn’t leaving this season.
If we saw the odd sign, a really great performance even if it was every 4 or 5 games then you could cling to something. But for all the talk of attacking football we aint half dull to watch. Its unlikely we'll find another Poch but i think we have to keep trying and i'm pretty certain it isnt Ange. We look really rudderless and the talk of new coaching staff just seems like real desperation.
I’m not talking about positions mate. I’m talking about football quality.
Every big club does this. But the main difference with us, is we hold onto these dead end players for faaar too long! We need to be much more ruthless with who comes and goes
No he does not- we made that mistake with Mou and Conte, and will probably make it again with Ange. We aren’t signing elite talent and we aren’t a club that can realistically hope to win with managers needing certain special rosters.
Ange being coach next season will result in a mid season firing and we’ll lose at least either Romero or VdV the following window.
That’s correct about Ange and he got away with it in Japan and the Scottish league
PL a world of difference and I just can’t see it happening so let’s move on
I’m sorry? We played like shit against Luton, Forest and Newcastle too, who are far from the best teams in the league.
Potter didn't have cowardly players to begin with, and playing for Brighton has less pressure than playing for Spurs.
We beat Luton and Forrest. Yea Newcastle was shit.
Again, not talking about results, results have been mostly fine. I’m talking about the football we played.
Nobody is asking to sign Potter as manager. Though I think he’d actually be good for us if we can simply learn to lower our expectations to LEVY/ENIC reality.
