Cicero 5,265 Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Got what we expected. Players only showed any fight during the final whistle. Personally hope in the next 5 weeks Potter finds the players he can trust (which are now at a minimum) and the players he can’t trust. Wish Boehly brought the American side of sports and simply terminate 90% of these players contracts. No emotional connection to any of them not named Silva or James.

Honey Honey 3,767 Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 We win the ball back for fun. Great performance. To win that with Chris Wood upfront and a centre mid on the wing is very good. Eddie Howe's gap year was an insane learning experience. What a job he's done.

N U F C 171 Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Brilliant result. Didn't think we were that good first half but turned it up in the second. Eddie Howe has worked wonders with them. Can only hope that the six week break doesn’t hamper us too much now, built up some good momentum recently.

Honey Honey 3,767 Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 In regards to Chelsea, they've got the tell tale signs of a team whose problem is psychologically. Time is not a healer for something like that. It's rare for it to get anything other than worse. Even if it does get better it's a problem that can linger for years without overhaul.

I said I thought their summer window was bad, Sturridge was okay but the rest were terrible signings and mostly Hollywood signings. they need to give potter this and next season at very least to build but I'm not sure how with Todd as director of football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honey Honey 3,767 Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 You shouldn't give time for times sake. It has to be warranted by evidence of direction and progression. If that's not strong then it's fair to sack him in the next 5 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Palace Fan 3,400 Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 The feeling amongst Brighton fans was that Tuchel was sacked to divert attention away from what was a poor transfer window. There's no doubt an element of sour grapes there but its hard to describe that transfer window as anything else. I didn't think there was any truth to the story of Tuchel having to explain to data driven Todd about why Ronaldo would not score as many goals in the system Chelsea play but as time goes on you do wonder. Todd's a meme at this point. He's backed himself in a corner by talking about a 'long term succesor' as if he sacks Potter in the next year he's going to look foolish.

Reluctant Striker 134 Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Newcastle seem there to stay, in the Top 7, at least. Seems a real test now for Potter to keep Chelsea where they may expect to be, in the Top 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The concern i have with it, is that Todd Boehly is self appointed Fuhrer of CFC and while he is doing what he is doing, they remind me of a Mike Ashley regime.

The 5 year deal he signed for me was crazy for the club adding to my fears that Boehly is out of his depth. Cracking goal from Willock though slight fortune as Almiron seemed to lose the ball rather than pass it. Difficult time for us just now as injuries to key players restricting us and back ups not delivering, might turn into a long season. Still let's see what happens this transfer window.

Potter will still be here even if we don't finish Top 4 according to Simon Phillips. Going to get a lot worse before it gets better. Players are poor but Potter needs to assert himself. The bare minimum after the WC is that we need to see some sort of idea in what he wants in his football, along with the players he trusts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almiron did well to get into the position but did get put off, however that is where Willock read it beautifully, the goal side footage shows how he made a late run then sensed Almiron was losing out and called him off. We did have two great chances before that to put the game away, Chabolah made a great last ditch block on Wood's effort and Longstaff maybe should have done better on that Almiron outside the foot cross, the build up play deserved a goal.

Almiron is showing some great recent form, I have been aware he can turn it on though this is the first time he has started to show consistency form what I have noticed.

He was good under Rafa, who signed him and the trio of Perez, Rondon and Almiron was pivotal in a late season surge that saw us to safety and playing great football, optimism was up and we thought Ashley would re-up Rafa and give him money.....we know how that ended. After that he got Bruce'd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
