Potter is/was the hottest prospect in Europe?
Great post. This video is insane, swap out Connolly, Maupay and Welbeck for the likes of even Ings and Callum Wilson and they're top 8 easily.
bloody Hell. How does Potter still have hair?!
I'm a fan. He looks a very good coach and our options are narrowing.
I see no reason why he couldn't quickly effect a positive change in the way we play. He knows the league, knows our players, and even if he just transferred his coaching principles to us, he'd make a difference.
My doubts about him, are, like others have said about his presence and charisma. Does he have that obsession to win that the top managers have? I don't know, but I think he'll improve us, and that's what we need at the moment.

Also a fan. It looks like it'd be really exciting, fun to watch football, which would be a massive upgrade over Mourinho ball. I think Dele could be amazing again in his system.
Those cutback passes into the box are really nice to watch. It wouldnt be as easy at us, as more teams play with a low block against us. But still, very nice to watch. Trossard looks like a world beater in that video.
Adrian, you just about killed any chance of potter coming here with this thread.
Starting a named thread seems to put the mockers on it!
Potter is a good manager sure, but as explained previously, he's a fucking personality vacuum. In terms of football, he truly plays "the Spurs way", which is attacking, entertaining football. However, the jump from a relegation fodder like Brighton to Spurs is not as easy as people think, let alone the fact that Brighton's CBs are just as good as Tottenhams.
Sure he doesn't have a sparkling personality but neither does Poch. If personality is important we could have kept Jose
In another thread I got called out when I equated their play to Man City with the amount of cut backs they get.
Proof right here. Foden, Silva, and the list of Man City players make a living off this style of play.
Oh yeah, it was
To Dare Is To Do.
when I said the following in the "POLL: WHO DO YOU WANT MOST AS OUR NEXT MANAGER?" thread."You watch Brighton and you will see they create similar chances to what City does all the time, they get to the byline and do a ton of cutbacks. The difference? Class in finishing."

And to add...my boy Solly March! We should go after him and give up on Sergio. HG and a Andrew Robertson type. They have missed him dearly.
I don't ever remember us having a manager that had us playing this type of cut back football. City do it brilliantly, Arse under Wenger were also excellent at it
Yeah, he was speaking his name back in 2017. I have been adamant he should be our man since Poch's last days and I am happy people are at least giving the man a chance. He might not be the character some people want, but he is a modern coach who knows how to work with players.
Yeah, Poch was far less focused on movement in and around the box. When we got to the 18, he was more focused on breaking teams down via the middle of the pitch. Our breaks were fun with overlapping runs from Walker and Rose, but the interchange in and around the box with Potter is very Pep like.
