I do think they’ve recruited well - but for a team to finish upper mid-table, with no European games, or pressure to qualify or win anything.
Feels like the margins they work off aren’t as fine as ours - but they are missing a star striker:
I think Potter is a good manager and should get a crack at a top team soon.
People assumed we'd steamroll Fulham, Utd and Everton. Somewhat understandably, but opposition teams clearly don't fear us anymore. Serious reset of expectations is required now, we need to build confidence with a few wins and clean sheets.
They will be a tricky customer and they have a defence that has the least goals conceded so far.
Also they’ve got an ace up their sleeve. The incredible Adama Traore.

We just need to stay in the mix until the World Cup.
Mo and Diaz will not be in Qatar. Matip, Tsimikas as well. Thiago, Bobby, Konate, Gomez, Elliott, Carvalho and Jones might miss out on selection. That's a lot of players who hopefully won't be dealing with post-World Cup disappointment and fatigue, but Mo and Diaz staying fresh is key.

But he earns £500k per week so according to SCM logic that means he should be playing 40% better than DeBruyne on a weekly basis
We might be unique amongst the top teams in having maybe 60% of our first 18 players who either won't go at all or won't really play. It's really only Virgil, Jota and Nunez who are guaranteed starters for world cup teams.
That’s great…..except what now?
More of the same this week? And the week after that? They can all get to fuck.
We don't need to hear what they're saying, we need them to see what everyone else is seeing.
The Villa Coutinho goal seems to have been forgotten about already?
Nevermind, just City gleaning points via obvious refereeing mistakes again. Lest anyone forget that had the most blatant handball penalty been awarded later on for Everton last season, we’d likely be sitting here as champions.

This.. ref blew his whistle.. everyone stopped. Was Linos fault, but VAR can't step in.
Newcastle were without ASM and Guimaraes. 😱
Just goes to demonstrate what shit finishers they are !
😛
Isak missed 2 "big chances". Interesting to see him with ASM and Guimaraes in the same team.
Atalanta's scouting/transfer market success continues?
Soppy looks to be a smart pick up from Udinese too. Transitional period for Atalanta with the ageing/lost of star players but Gasperini has a good record of bringing through young talents.
Just realised that Albert Riera has gone into management.
Great start after Football ultras storm managerial unveiling of ex-Liverpool star in support of former boss during his unveiling.
[article]Football ultras stormed the press conference unveiling of their new manager this week in support of former Real Madrid, Barcelona and Portsmouth midfielder Robert Prosinecki following his surprise sacking last week.
Chaos ensued when Slovenian outfit NK Olimpija Ljubljana announced the appointment of former Manchester City, Liverpool and Watford defender Albert Riera in his first managerial role.
The dissatisfaction was more to do with the way his predecessor was ousted rather than the arrival of the Spaniard - who was met by their Green Dragon ultras and forced to leave the room.
Fans shouted and pointed at the new boss while praising their former manager as their relatively peaceful protest forced the conference to a premature end.
Prosinecki, who played for Croatia between 1994 and 2002, managed Azerbaijan and Bosnia and Herzegovina among others before moving to the Stozice Stadium.
Having signed a two-year deal back in March, the 55-year-old left the club on July 1 alongside sporting director Mladen Rudonja following a dispute with owner Adam Delius due to a disagreement over new players.
After the end of his career as a football player, Riera ventured into coaching. The 40-year-old Spaniard has worked as an assistant coach in Turkey's Galatasaray for the past two years.

Must not be that great, given that @Kay Age El has not made a single post comparing him to Maradona and Pele in the last six months 😉.
As I previously said, hopefully Potter will be in the running to succeed Klopp when he leaves.
