Would he be any worse. I doubt it.

I woild have a few conditions.

 

My assistant manager would be @Munkworth, as every Batman needs a Robin.

I would want @JM7in Kyle Mcs spot as he is master of sauce.

I would need someone know for his diplomacy and level headedness as press office, so @dkw

Our medical staff needs improvement, I believe both @Valerieand @CaitlinCFCwill bring us back to Eva level standard, (so long as they get the same outfits).

As my defensive coach I would need @Gol15as his defence of Jorginho over the years has been rock solid.

Likewise I need someone very offensive to help us in attack, step forward @just

Goalkeeper coach would be @Mod, he has done excellent keeping the forum going. 

I would need someone to step up as our social media guru and make us look the best, @mojois the guy!

Finally a hard a$$ first team coach to step up when Munk is napping. @cocoI choose you!

Hopefully the new manager bounce will do it for us and Leed's new manager bounce will have already worn off!!

Except, Todd has ensured we haven't got that new Manager 😪

All I can say is thank god we have Malo Gusto next season. Reece James likely out with a tight hamstring.

Seems to me like you need to hire a "mental skills" coach.

I'd probably go for something like this, think we need a 3 man midfield to manage their high press.
 

Felix up top isn't ideal but he needs to be in the team and Havertz is an absolute donkey 

Enzo and Kova doesn't work in the defensive phase.

You mean the same Malo Gusto that is currently also sidelined with a hamstring injury ? LOL

Let's hope that is a one-off and he doesn't prove to be similarly injury prone !

Imagine he will stick to the 4-2-3-1 ... something like this :

                              Kepa

Chalobah - W.Fofana - Koulibaly © - Chilwell

      Zakaria (or RLC) - Fernandez

Sterling ---------- Felix ----------- Mudryk

                          Havertz

Can see Badiashile being an undeserved casualty of needing to build some understanding between the likely centre back pairing for Dortmund, plus playing Koulibaly at least gives a captaincy option for someone who has done it a lot before, albeit not for us.

If James is not 100%, then pointless to risk him as we will definitely need him for Tuesday. Trev to play at right back.

The turnaround starts tomorrow with 3 points. 

                              Kepa

      Chalobah - W.Fofana© - Badiashile

                     RLC        Zakaria       

Madueke      Felix     Fernandez     Mudryk

                       DD.Fofana

 

Come on Graham, play my team, stop being an awkward bugger ! Havertz Sterling Auba have had their fun, now let the kid loose, it's only dirty Leeds.

                      

Another dreadful Saturday coming up.

Can't wait for this season to end

I think a big surprise is on its way....think the boys will find confidence when we go a goal up in the first quarter...end result a resounding four nil.....

Chelsea 3 Leeds 2

How, you ask? I have no idea.

Can't see any problems here. Straight forward 5-0 victory.

Good result to move us on for next season. Integrating da yoofs.

WIAPWL 

We’ll get outplayed by Leeds. 3 - 0 to them.

This season is the same as last season.

Ain't gonna win a thing

Would Potter take a point now if offered ?

Hmm no Dave, no Silva, no mount, no James. So who is the captain going to be?

I think it should be this man:

What? How can you compare last season to this season? Look at last year's table and how the cup competitions went and then compare it to this year.

Considering his tenure, it’s probably going to be Kepa. 

Chalobah to busy charging people £166 for personalised videos on Cameo.

Just watched the highlights of Fulham vs Leeds FA Cup tie, and Leeds looked way too good for the likes of us LOL.

Basically got done by two wonder strikes.

xG score : Fulham 0.19 Leeds 1.53

Quite nervous about this one having watched that ... Leeds creating a lot of chances ... 

Tbf even if Leeds looks torrid, I still have little confidence

 

Based off the injuries and the fact Dortmund is next week I wouldn't risk James. Play a back 3 which you can stick with for the UCL, you can introunce Benoit as the game progresses. Chilwell is in his best position, RLC has shown he's great on the right wing, adds dynamism, unpredictability and is the best option there beside James.

Kova and Enzo pairing in midfield should be exciting when given the license to move forward with the confidence of a back 3 behind them. 

Felix playing as a number 10 linking them playing a free roam position, Mudyrk playing as a more traditional left attacker. Combining with Chilwell would be exciting. Finally love Havertz, but it's not happening for him atm. Try Raheem through the middle, allows for a similar false 9 tactic. With the drawback of less height, but more mobility, better finishing and playmaking. 

Personally if I was Potter I would revert to a back 3, it worked at the start of his tenure. Sometimes in football tou have to go back to the basics.

Most importantly the lineup is eligible for the ucl fixture meaning chemistry could be built with some momentum providing we win ofc.

 

                                  Kepa 

         Fofana         Chalobah       Koulibaly   

 

RLC             Kovacic            Enzo            Chilwell 

 

                Felix                            Mudyrk

                                Sterling

If you go back to back 3, what is the point of signing Madueke and murdyk

Funny how opinions differ. For me playing RLC anywhere on the pitch is close to playing with 10 men. He is just not good enough as a footballer on this level. He wasn't even doing anything when loaned out to Fulham. Zero end product. Hides away. No leadership. He is the perfect example of what you call a passenger. I can't believe we spend hundreds of millions only to then play RLC.
