I mean......we haven't played bad. We've created plenty of chances and it isn't Potters job to put the ball in the net should it?

If this was bad football with no chances created as we've seen previously I could understand the criticism. This club just has a DNA of not being clinical.

Pretty sure Potter not coaching cucarella , a £60m player , to head it back centrally to play in the opposition striker

And yet, Potter keeps picking him. Keep picking a player that is error prone and those errors will result in goals conceded.

Even if fans want Potter out, they shouldn’t be booing … if indeed they are. “Ask not what your country can do for you….” kind of thing. Booing not gonna help anyone. 

Owner says he’s going to listen to the fans, he isn’t they are reminding him

he has constantly changed the back line every frkn match.. i have never seen anyother coach do that.. and to put on CC who is hardly a LWB as LCB .. They play like strangers.. He has been in the job 9 months he still cant figure out a decent back 3/4/5 .. yes this absolutely on him.

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?

Should be 3 CB but Potter play LB/LWB + CB + RB/RWB. James seems keep on the position and waste his talent on attack. Cucurella always run away.

RLC why he still there. Lots of good right wing attacker.

Disagree, I've seen several of those goals given before even from us. Really comes down to the ref interpreting it as a push, a lean, or the other player falling to easily. 

If the ref doesn’t give the foul VAR don’t disallow it

If fans want Potter out they should be boycotting.

I haven’t. A blatant shove in the back to win a header is as close as it comes to a blatant foul. 

It really comes down to how the ref interprets it on the day. Is it a push, a natural lean or the other player falling too easily? I can see a ref giving it on another day if they interpret it differently.

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

But that's the story of us under Potter. Some decent football, loads of possession but we lack goals - whichever players he selects. We have our best two CB's missing (Siva & Fofana) so why leave Badiashile out and play James out of position and play the hapless RLC? That's the sort of decision that loses games and dare I say it, will cost him his job if we continue to struggle for points against average teams like Villa.

Not true.

Mydryk 1v1 - weak ass shot

Mydryk close shot - should have squared to wide open kai who had empty net.

felix f**king up 3 on 2 attack

Chillwell hit post

Goal disallowed weakly

 

 

It's clear as day you have an agenda mate.

Tuchel got absolutely zero excuses with you but with Potter everything under the sun is an excuse. How it's even possible to have such different standards for two successive managers is hard to understand for me.

For f**k sake - Players paid hundreds of thousands each week - and you are blaming the manager for a £60m defender heading back to their striker.

Players need to take responsibility. 

When we were playing slow dull stagnant sh*t - week in week out, then yes, on the manager. But we are playing well....just losing due to individual errors which is not on manager

I wish people would stop arguing over whether it’s Potter or the players that are the problem and accept that broadly speaking, it’s both. Lousy coaching and selections with continual individual utter incompetency from those on the pitch.

And owners that can’t identify a good coach or player to save their lives.
