Hey come on now, you put some real effort with Poch, waffles of all kinds.

Hasn't Maresca done enough to deserve the same?

The Poch waffle was more a term of endearment as he just sat there making noise, EM is actually f**king annoying me with some things he says in these lately!

He seemed to find it offensive on the question if Kepa will be called back like Sanchez is elite Buffon!

Yes the interview seemed to end very abruptly after the Kepa question LOL. Whether that was Maresca or the video editor who can say LOL

It doesn't cease to surprise me that Sariah is the only journo asking perceptive, challenging tactical questions whilst the others are asking loaded questions to try to get him to admit that Sanchez is sh*t. Headline guys......Its Old news.

Agreed. Total rubbish scheduling.

I can see that, but I can equally see an uninspiring 2-0 win for us being used as unquestionable evidence that Maresca is some sort of genius and 1000x the coach that Potter is.

Well I think we all have to accept that The Stubborn One will stick with the same format and send out his "untouchables"once more. But how about moving them around in to positions where they might be more effective?

I did. He says never you mind why he had to hide away for so long.

Anyway if we lose at home to a Graham Potter side every single person at the club should be sacked immediately. The board should be summarily executed, and their heads displayed on a pike on King's Road on a rotating basis, the details of which can be found on page 94 of the CPO manifesto.

Win here and we are 5th. 
 

Apparently it’s like 98% confirmed Top 5 get Champions League.

4th if City drop points to Arse. Promising results yesterday with the Newcaslte and Villa losses, thought my confidence in this team is at rock bottom.

I don't get how that's the case so early, especially this time last week when City were in danger of going out.

No excuses, here. After City's capitulation, we have to take the initiative of cementing top 4. 

City get thrashed today. Add that to even Southampton going to Ipswich and getting a win and really it should be a black aye for our players and manager.

They should see how poorly that reflects on each of them, and step up and start putting in some seriously improved perfprmanced.

Cause what they do show in those games was unacceptable, and if they care at all they will step and get it going.

I want to see some professional pride from these kids. Different times but we showed players can do that under Grant and Di Matteo, two managers no better than Maresca.

Don't matter how young you are. You can still have pride in what you do and work your tail off, even if the lack of experience costs you are times.

Even if you want out of this project go put on top display after top display and get yourself a move!

Results have gone our way. Win and we go 4th 

lose and it’s going to get ugly 

Also, and I have not got to say this for a while.

 

Who is ready to walk in a Potter wonderland once again!

 

The results this weekend were pretty favorable for us. We need to take full advantage with a convincing win tomorrow to take us back into top 4. Potter has had a decent start at West Ham. But I remember he also started well with us. Things went off the rails when he faced his former club Brighton. Hopefully something similar happens tomorrow and he gets a humbling at the hands of his former club.

Man City, Newcastle and Bournemouth all losing has been extremely helpful.

Hope we pounce on the opportunity and get back into the top 4. Time to end this slump once and for all.

You can pretty much make any team in history look poor by making one fixture comparisons.

You could probably find a fixture Derby 07/08 did as good or better than we did.

Match Day!

Come On Chelsea!!

I hear Potter has recalled James Ward Prowse. Assume he won't play tonight. At least I hope he doesn't as being negative, I can just see us giving away a free-kick on the edge of the box or even better, Sanchez miss placing a pass straight to JWP and it going into the top corner of our net.
