VillaChris Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Fair play to Brighton, North london double in a week. Another team we're probably not finishing above then.... Man. United bench today: Henderson, Bailey, Phil Jones (yes he's still there), Wan-Bisaaka, Mejbri, Garnacho, Matic, Mata, Rashford Arsenal bench: Leno, Holding, Ogungbo, Swanson, Elneny, Azeez, Hutchinson, Pepe, Smith Rowe. Just imagine how unfair it would be with the splitter six having 5 subs next season with those options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaParkAvenue Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Well done Potter, cutting off Spurs passing options and making them slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyM3000 Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Potter is quality, said all along I wanted him here. Whoever gets him will do well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn't turn up first half last week either. You just can't miss endless chances like Ings did and expect to get things out of the game I'm afraid. Based on evidence today though someone like Bissouma would make a difference v top half teams so we certainly need to sign that type of DM. Genuinely wonder where we'd be in the league if we'd kept Grealish for 12 months given none of Spurs, Arsenal or Man. United are even on 60 points with most of the season completed. Give us another 12 points and we'd still have a decent chance of finishing top 6. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He gets plenty of stick but I do think he's one English coach who's style would translate well to a top club, bit like Rodgers at Swansea a decade ago. Edit: Would certainly have more confidence in his style working for us than Gerrard's. Edited April 16, 2022 by VillaChris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a quality player, wouldn't mind him rocking up here with his mate Bissouma. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a real gulf below 3rd in the league this season that's for sure. Don't think Man. United will be much better next season, Arsenal could if they get a top CF in but will still have vulnerability if they lose a few defenders and Spurs will still probably lose Kane if they miss 4th. All the more reason for us to start pulling our finger out and start signing good players in key positions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Net spend is rather low too, would have loved to see what he can do with a bigger budget. They rarely get battered because of how well they keep the ball, if they can slowly improve the quality of the attackers in that team they will go far.

They do have decent attackers tbf, I mean Trossard has games when he looks world class like today. Maupay is a decent mid table prem striker. Think it's a case they just take endless touches around the box when they should shoot a bit quicker and presentable shots get blocked or saved more easily.

Knows how to park the bus, 13 games drawn this season, the odd lucky win. An that Brighton team is not that bad, Bissouma, Maupay, Cucurella, Trossard,, Lamptey and even Welbeck scores goals.

Got some great players, not disputing that, which is why I don't rate Potter. Although they are now above us in the league speaks volumes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Saw klopp moaning about kick off times, he actually says it's why an English team hasn't won the quadruple and it wouldn't happen in Spain, Italy or Germany People don't want a quadruple winner, when these clowns get that? Bayern smash everyone every year, good for them, we don't want that shit These 2 pricks are dangerous, the media love them, the decision makers will let them shape English football for years to come and it will be in Liverpool and city's favour 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when Lambert made loads of changes for an FA cup game, I can’t remember who against (Arsenal?) and the media were saying it was against the spirit of the cup, they did a 1 hour chat about it on Soccer Saturday calling it out. When it’s these two, it’s silence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
