Oh return of Mendy & Kante can't come soon enough, by the time internationals are over...perhaps both will be back.

Also scoring 1 point instead of 0.

Another plus point, you haven’t sacked your manager yet

Another plus is that the transfer window opens on January and you can throw another couple of hundred million at it.

Oh no we’ve had one more permanent manager than United since Fergie retired, we’re such sack machines compared to lovely patient United

It's gunna take awhile for us to be anything close to entertaining again. I turned that game off a half time, getting too old to waste my time on things that bore me.

Sarri, Lampard & Tuchel have all contributed to moulding a risk averse team. We're unproductive tiki-taka, set up to attack but think defensively - Van Gaal's MO. The only ways to solve this will be to either (a) give a manager time, (b) give a new manager a complete new squad, or (3) sign a few more Ziyech types who'll take risks by force, because it's become this squads default setting.

I really don't see the point in analysing at this stage. give him a sample size of ten games and then review.

Was nearly a carbon copy of all our other games we dropped points in this season.

I view Potter' set-up as a less choatic, more balanced Bielsa style.
Fitting that he deployed 3331 type set-up first match, heaps of variation, fluidity and intensity in the way we attacked & defended...pure unadulterated fun (and aesthetically pleasing).

That sequence of play right there. Hallmarks of Bielsa.
Convinced Potter extensively watched Bielsa' sides (especially Bilbao), took some inspiration and adopted bits going into management.

Advanced role just behind the striker which Havertz played, might just suit Gallagher to a tee.

Well good luck to him is all I can say on that

We're slow, narrow & shift the ball side to side rather than up & down - the antithesis of Bielsa. Gunna be awhile before we'll see anything remotely resembling the pace & confidence to push forwards like in that goal you linked.
