You’re entitled to your opinion, but when you try to discredit my original post by saying I must not have watched much football so I don’t understand you look a bit foolish back tracking and getting butthurt when I just point out that I am much more involved in football than you probably are.
I didn’t lie, I clearly stated I only remember one but I might have missed them. Football interviews are of very little interest to me because they’re the same boring string of cliches in a different order every week. I don’t have an encyclopaedic knowledge of Potters interviews for the same reason I haven’t memorised the local bus timetable.
Wait, you actually want a professional manager to come out and say “we don’t use a right winger often but he’s really good, honest?”
Yep, FIFA manager syndrome in full effect here. “If I say nice things in the press conference it’ll boost his morale to good”
I’ve said on this thread I don’t rate March as a winger, however he’s started 11 times this season, he’s not first choice either and almost of those games have been when he’s been used in a relatively defensive role. Now you can do your armchair review of him, but watching a game on TB gives you an incredibly limited view of the game, if you’ve been to a match live then I’m sure you’ll agree. So whilst March is useless going forward he is very good at tracking back, doing the dirty work & supporting his fullback etc. Do I think he needs replacing? Yes. Do I think ARJ is better technically? Yes. Do I think March is better suited to some games? Also yes. When you’re watching the game on TV you only see what is happening around the ball, you don’t see the covering runs or the pressing. You are allowed to think that things are partly good and partly bad, it’s not a binary option.
Your last post is weird. What Potter achieved in Sweden is impressive coaching whether you like him or not. And yeah, our team mostly sucks if you compare it to Liverpool, Arsenal or Man City but we’re not a big club so our expectations aren’t as high as theirs. I’d look like a bit of a dick if I took the piss out of the Iran national team for being shit compared to England, but that is extensively what you’re doing with Brighton. Who do you support?

Your point was that the comments were to avoid tanking Ali’s value in the event of a sale. I said that his comments coupled with his actions actually did more to tank Ali’s value. An explanation for why a player isn’t being used tactically is better than bullshit rhetoric. Many managers have done it for players that don’t fit their plan. What positive has Potter accomplished with this non-FIFA excellent professional manager communications regarding Ali. This is 4D chess that nobody can comprehend, not even you it seems.
You reference how things go in fifa a lot, you must be a big fan. I haven’t seen anything similar to my suggestion in a fifa game, I have seen Potter’s cookie cutter bullshit comments in almost every fifa game lol, so maybe you’ve got things a little flipped.
He’s a pretend EPL manager, he’ll be exposed as such soon. I’ll give it to you that you with your footballing resume could probably match his resume in a couple of years. He hasn’t done anything extraordinary. Seems like he has Arsenal’s number in some regard, but otherwise, what has he done remarkably?
