Didn't Sterling score.? He was probably our best player, also, so I'm not sure where the problem is? And, I know your saying he played wing back, but when was he actually back? Most of the time he was in line with Aubameyang - I would hardly say that was a wing back position.

Thought there were a lot positives in that game. I felt we were far more forward thinking, particularly at the end. That was pretty aggressive. What I like is that he doesn't hang around with subs - he is willing to change things pretty quickly. Dodgy finishing from the players; missed opportunities with taking shots and crosses due to too much hesitation.

I think that is just his default face.

Swear the ref didn't give enough extra time - that communication issue in the first half took about 10 minutes.

Playing very well in the last 10 minutes.

Do people forget we lost against the worst side in this group in Zagreb?

Overall, I think this game has been a positive step. There are things to work on, though. In particular, the hesitation by some players around and in the box. There are quite a lot of crossing and shooting opportunities we missed out on. I think Broja will do well under Potter.

People put too much stock into getting a manager that 'has won something'. In the end, the vast majority of successful managers have become successful because they have been given a chance by a big club. Would people on here be interested in Guardiola, Klopp, and Zidane when they were at Barcelona B, Mainz, and Madrid B, respectively? No, the same negativity would be there. But because Real Madrid, Dortmund, and Barcelona gave them a chance, they have now become managers everyone wants. Nobody would be interested in a manager who kept Mainz up and then got them relegated, nor two second-tier Spanish league managers. But some of the biggest clubs in their respective leagues gave those managers a chance, and they reaped the benefits.

No, they didn't. You just made that up. In fact, they weren't in the relegation zone once last season. Their lowest position was 14th.
