Bring back McGhee

But what about the change that didn't do good, for Duffy, Locadia, Jahanbasksh, Zeqiri, Karbownik who potter couldn't get anything out of. Sanchez had ability but threw his toys into Kent out of the pram, and Webster has been blighted by Injuries.

I give up. @Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo has quite simply demonstrated how RDZ has improved March's output. If that isn't simple enough to demonstrate my point I don't know what is.

I think putting him at LWB regressed him a bit, I think RDZ improved March massively, similarly as to how Potter improved Burn. There’s good and bad sides, but I saw more players get better under RDZ than potter. Maupay seemed to get worse IMO the more time with potter, and Moder seems to be...

Interesting because I disagree, I think just before potter came in he had a very decent spell of assists, at the front end of Hughton’s final season, and then regressed, to the point where he was providing very little going forward, which led to his conversion to LWB. It wasn’t until RDZ came...

Yes I meant the magnitude, but to the last point, thats the point of this conversation, we'll never know what we would have done under Potter in the Europa League. But based on the evidence I don't believe we would have, his approach was far more pragmatic.

Which resulted in LDDDLDDLWDWWWDLL with one of those wins coming against Blackpool in the cup, but also against Liverpool in the league. This still indicates that he would never have had the consistency to get us europe in my opinion. To the point of that his approach lost us the game in Rome...

I don't think that is correct way of rewording it. Trossard and Bissouma were clearly very talented players with a lot of potential when signed. Burn and March were ageing English players, who at the time were limited. I think Potter did very well to push Burn beyond his perceived ceiling, the...

Football is about passion and a bit of fun, so maybe you can revere to them as Demi-gods and be a bit bitter. You are essentially saying that anyone who believes he wouldn't have achieved it, are just forcing themselves. I've put forward so pretty good cases (as has others) and some that he...

I have no memory of any of the fixture congestion that RDZ has dealt with was ever dealt with by Potter. I'd like someone to point to this period?

I think with Solly's form before RDZ came in, it begged the question whether he was good enough to take us to the next level. A good player, but lets not pretend his finishing was any good. I think RDZ took him to a much better level. The only similar player I particularly credit with Potter...

I mean if we can't revere the manager who took us to our highest ever position, and qualified us for Europe for the first time ever (something 90% of football fans will never see with their club), as a demi god, who are we meant to revere as a Demi God?

But with all respect Burnley are not the worst team, we have scored 11 goals past them this season, where as in a similar season, Potter's team scored 0.

But this is the problem, Potter had a lot of spells like this, and then would follow it up with a spell of being completely abject. The consistency lasted a few months and then would go pear shaped. Just before this spell with a win against Watford we were looking at Europe and 6 games later...

This is also a squad with (v Villa 3-0 loss in 2022) had 7 full internationals, 2 former England internationals and Premier League Winners, with the remaining 2 players being a spanish U21 and a former french U21. As well as arguably the most talented player of entire history sat on the bench...

Well if we're doing this then potter had 180 minutes against a team who conceded 84 goals in a single season and scored, thats right, 0 goals. Also not to mention this:

We would not have finished 6th with Potter, I think that needs putting to bed. He beat a dire Leicester City with a cardboard cut out in goal, don't think he had consistency in his locker. He never got Solly scoring like Roberto did.
