:lol: On 'another day'? Welbeck has scored ONE hat-trick in his entire 15 year year career. Chances were pretty slim! He did have three presentable chances though - agreed. To be fair, he didn't do much wrong with the two headers - just two good saves from their keeper.

Marseilles away was a really poor mistake - no question. Roma - a poor and particularly uncharacteristic error - BUT other teams don't leave one centre back completely exposed by a single long ball like that, so the manager DOES have 'some control' over that. And once Dunk gets to the ball ahead...

I'm going to speculate that he would have achieved about the same - but probably been less fun along the way. Potter's Albion on form controlled games better than RDZ's and were less susceptible to being broken on. In that same group we'd still have won both Ajax games, because they were...

Once again, I have not said once that his approach lost us that game. I think they beat us because their team was simply better than ours. I do think that his approach led to the magnitude of the defeat, and thus lost us the TIE (which we may well have anyway - had it been in the balance, they'd...

I'm NOT 'blaming the loss entirely on him' at all. No loss of a football match is ever entirely one person's fault. I'm blaming the MAGNITUDE of the loss on him.

A loss at Roma was indeed, 'entirely forgivable'. The NATURE and magnitude of the loss, was absolutely not. We really did not need to come away from Rome, completely out of that tie, but Roberto set the team up badly, then his ego / stubbornness refused to allow any efforts to fix it - until...

:shrug: Okay, fair enough - he took our decent team to the SECOND WORST team in the league and scraped a point. I'm not sure it really makes a difference to the point, though!

Well, firstly, I don't think he's actually made many 'costly mistakes' for Brighton. Secondly, if 'mistakes' are made (for example) through taking risks in dangerous areas, or leaving defenders hopelessly exposed then clearly the manager does 'have (some) control' over that. And lastly, if a...

I'm NOT 'doing this'. I was simply trying to illustrate that anyone highlighting ONE single game to make a point, was pointless.

And brought up to make Potter look worse against RDZ - a man who (despite all the injuries) has just taken this really good side containing NINE full internationals (only JPVH and Baleba yet to make their senior International debuts), to the worst team in the league and scraped a draw, via a...

This sort of ridiculous statement is what feeds the click-bait. 50% are AGAINST RDZ? Which of those 3 poll options are indicators of being AGAINST the manager of our club?
