I'm surpised we haven't tried a RB from the academy yet, can't Anjorin play there?

He should have been binned a couple seasons ago. Some mastermind thought it was a good idea to keep him because "experience" 

Edited January 12, 20233 yr by enigma

So the team had an emergency meeting for 2 days to come out and play like this. Who was leading the meeting I wonder? Was it Potter?

Aww unlucky Hall, was hoping he'd volley that in Alonso-style

How sh*te must Serie A be for Koulibaly to be a superstar in it? No wonder Chris Smalling gets a game over there.

Pedro is a star out there.

What has happened to Chalobah?

He has been appalling tonight

Chalo is a horror show today.

Nobody then. The only defenders of ours that don't play like this are Silva, James and Chilwell.

Put Cucurella and play a back 4 at least. We are playing a back 3 against Fulham that doesn't even have Mitrovic and we're losing.

Chalobah needs to come off 

I like him a lot but today he’s having a shocker

Potters appointment shows the powers of the media

How so many people actually though a guy with a 31% career win rate deserved a top job after his Brighton team scored 42 goals last season and he finished in the top half for the first time 3 points ahead of 12th place palace with a new manager in his first ever season is crazy

Potter will never be good enough, he's the new Hodgson, not as good as Nuno or Moyes

Feels like a win would set us back more, sort of Like when United had Ole and he won just enough to limp on but they knew they'd never compete with him

Potter should have never been hired.

I said it before he came here that he was being massively overhyped by the media, David Moyes and Brendan Rodgers are unironically more qualified than him

Lewis Hall looks so far out of his depth 

18 year old boy .. are you serious to call him out!!!

the fact that he is playing after buying a 60 mil player speaks more.

Well Felix looks decent so far, not sure about the rest of them. Is Havertz even playing?

Kovačić with what I can only describe as a capoeira move to get his foot on the end of that.

Agreed. Bring him off before he gets a red

Looked the other way round that to me

Chalobah is actually a worse player under Potter, under Tuchel he was coming up.

Who do we bring on for Chalobah? KK needs to come off too.

Does Azpi have an attacking bone in his body? Gets the ball and passes it sideways or back. Ffs. 

I was just as about to comment the same. Our promising attacks die every time Azpi gets the ball.

Cucurella is one of the worst offenders. The guy panics every time he is asked to do a bit of defending.

He's awful. We kept him because of his experience, but his quality is now sh*te.

Think we signed him just as he was fading, on a massive 5 year contract 👍

Fading? He can't pass, hasn't got any pace, panics with the ball at his feet and ain't that great in the air for someone his size.

Villa just got Unai Emery and Wolves Lopetegui

2 managers both far more successful and have regularly outperformed Potter their entire careers and have both made better impacts with words squads and less time than him

Why are we scraping the bottom of the barrel why bottom half clubs are hiring proven winners?

Potter was very highly rated and one of the sought after manager when we hired him. Stop posting absolute mind numbing rubbish

Azpi is clearly allowed to pass only sideways or backwards.

The fact azpi is still playing let alone starting shows how bad our recruitment has been
