This!

Sorry Pots,

but it's Potty Playing Players outa Position !

especially when they are not very good in their normal ! positions.

Good thread...right on the money

I think that's most people's drip with GP at the moment, this wing back experiment with lightweight attacking players has to stop - and now!

Cucurella hasn't become a bad player since last season but playing him a CB is doing him no favours!

Chilwell surely has to start? He’s one of the best in his position, it’s crazy seeing him on the bench

Wasn't long ago he was injured, and we were saying how much we missed him...

The continued decision to play Cucarella at LCB is mind boggling tbh. He is a decent LWB and I don't understand why he just does not rotate with Chilwell. In Potters defence with two CBs out injured his options are limited atm but it is clear Cucarella at LCB is not the answer.

Ultimately though we are paying the price for appalling management of player contracts. As a result he bulk of our transfer spending was on defenders.

When I look at the money we have spent on players in the last 5 years, frankly it is a disastrous return on investment.

I just hope FFP will allow us to come back to the market because we need to bring in quality and shift expensive dead wood.

So lightweight up front,and midfield is slow and lightweight also, apart from Kova.
and yes we have too much expensive dead wood. A change of plans needed Pots !

If we had Fofana Kante Koulibaly & James available it'd be a hugely different story.

However, our continued failings up front would still need addressing

Great article

Potter's line up against Brighton was extremely ambitious (putting it mildly). One attacker playing WB can work circumstantially, two is just suicide unless you're playing a very weak team but even then there'd be easier way to go about it. And even if you entertain it for whatever reason, the LCB/RCB & two DM/CM's need to have great games to protect them... that didn't happen.

Ironically that was the type of mad scientist line up I was expecting out of Tuchel since he came

If only we weren't short of two class centre backs a world class DM & a top drawer wing back on the injured bench....







someone who could hit the net fairly regularly wouldn't go amiss either...but that's another story

In saying this...Potter had Azpi & Chilwell he could've selected....so....

Pots certainly has you guessing !........

what surprises in store for Wednesday ?

I said it in the summer, not sure the extent of chillwells injury, I believe a reason we bought cucurella is because of it. Not sure if chillwell will ever reach those early season levels from last year.

And another reason for my dissatisfaction with the modern day loan policy.

We could have had Dujon Sterling to cover RWB and Juan Castillo left side had we not loaned them out - especially in Stirlings case where it's well known we have a lack of suitable backup for James!
