Not the fault of Kovacic if we lose while he's the captain, the bottom line is that Potter is out of his depth.

Kova not fit today. Maybe tired just back from International match day.

FFS - we are dire. We've become one of the worst sides in the league.

Out of interest - what are you blaming on Potter for this?

Not on him that CuCu heads it into space to put their striker through.

Not on him that out attackers can't finish their dinner - despite creating lots. 

So what is the issue today?

Totally agree. We made so many chances to lead at least 3-1.

Its not Potter's fault that the attack is on Regional Division Level, the same is for the deffense.

Wonder what bollocks Potters going to say to the lads during HT. For some fun anyone want to take a stab?

So Mr Boehly, when will we get a manager? When will it be worth to be back following Chelsea?

Unpopular opinion but I think we've reacted well to falling behind.

Villa have basically parked the bus and are just looking to counter when they have the chance. Going behind when playing at home and opposition gives you the bulk of possession, what else should a team be doing ?

Anyone could see that back three was an accident waiting to happen. Why, just WHY???

We have played them off the park. Created how many very clear chances?  We should be winning. 

The brain fart defending and multiple missed chances are costing us

the famous potter half time team talk now.     ok  lads your trying your best , dont worry i think we can get a draw, do your best anyhow..

 Our crowd should be giving this ref a bit of grief.

45 minutes that epitomise our season. Plenty possession. Goal gifted, f**k all ability to put the ball in the net and another 45 minutes that has bypassed Mudryk and Kovacic whilst they wonder if they left the iron on.

Eddie Howe is an exception to this I'd say

He won’t be at St James park by the time they win something.

Havertz has been disgraceful to watch. No attacking threat whatsoever. 

Whether we get anything from this game. 
I hope potter gets the sack 

Potter is a waste of time. We have some quality players but the guy is charge is so out of his depth 

 

 

 

Joker of a manager .. plays football manager day in day out.. every fckin match changes the line up again and again and again.. I don’t know what he is doing and I doubt he knows either… every coach knows their back 4/5 and drills them day in day out to avoid exactly what we saw today.. K2 and C2 running around like strangers to mess up 2 v1 situation. Spare me this as much on the coach then on the player..

Agreed…the self belief Potter has instilled in this team and the never say die attitude is something to be marvelled. As long as the players keep reacting, Potter should be offered a 10 year contract extension.

Weren't you counting the score based on guilt Edge chances missed half an hour ago? Or does that not suit the narrative now it would be about 10-3 in our favour? 

And no I'm not saying that gives us three points, just saying that you should show some consistency.

Yes I’ll have a stab. In fact can I have one to each eye so I don’t have to suffer this sh*te any longer?

Surprised?

Cucurella is a disaster signing, but instead of playing an actual CB, Potter persists with him. Loftus-Cheek has been awful at RWB, he's not good enough anywhere really, but Potter plays him anyway. Koulibaly hasn't been much better either.

Everybody could see that that back 3 was going to cost us today and it's happened. How can a football coach not see what everybody else can?

Our finishing is atrocious. We've created chances and should be in lead, that's not on Potter.

The goal conceded though, that's on him and the baffling team selection.

This game has the potential to finish 5-3 for either side.

We should have scored at least a couple, in fairness they could have as well.

That describes us virtually week in week out. Which equals, we’re sh*t.

600m and we are playing like school kids,

Our best player by an absolute mile today. 

How could RLC can start at the other size? Lots of right wing in sub.
