Its clearly not potter. Apart from anything else the commentators would have, well, commented on it.

On the Overlap podcast they mentioned that we're one of the only teams in the league without a set piece coach, could be we're just not working on them enough.

Who said 3-2 loss incoming? Outrageous finish TBF.

I think it's pessimistic to give up a decent transfer fee as well as waste wages and a first team squad space on a player that will only be useful a year from now if we utterly fail this season. And then it isn't guaranteed he performs again anyway.

Armstrong miles offside again. Terrible run.

He was still a shit Premier League striker when he was scoring goals last season.

Christ what a pessimistic strategy.

Really should have had the foresight to sell Armstrong in the summer. Would have got a decent amount for him with the goals he scored and we knew he'd be useless for a Prem side.

Yeah would liked to see him start instead of Fraser. In fact I'd rather he had his place in the squad all season and we just didn't bother with Fraser.

Great corner from Fernandes.

Co-commentator obviously not a fan of our style of play, made a couple of almost passive aggressive comments.

Anyone reckon there'll be a working stream?

Maybe the consistent point of Martin being shit is because he is shit.

Of course he did, he's going to praise any manager that tries to copy him.

Martin is showing his naivety again. Pep did him a favour by instructing his players to do the bare minimum to get through the game with champions league middle of last week and a tough EFL cup game against Tottenham again this week. He'll be over the moon that they got the three points and his players will have barely expended any energy to do so.

Yeah, it becomes an option instead of being something that's unavailable to us.

Now you're talking.

I miss when people wanted to play FOOTBALL. Who remembers being in the park or the playground and passing it 6 yards from the keeper to the defenders? Nobody. F*cking get at each other with pace and power and entertain those paying their money.

Stephens IS his plan B.

If in the next Olympics you stepped up to the highest diving board and tried for Gold, that'd be pretty brave. That's essentially what Stephens is doing in trying to play premier league football.

We'll either lose by more than 5 or fluke a 1-0. Either way Martin out.

Tadic was consistent throughout his time for us the drop off was more about who was making the runs/finishing the chances he created.

No-one is saying we revert to Wimbledon style tactics.

It 100% was. He gave us the option of playing it direct into him from the CBs and his strength and first touch meant he was able to control it and lay it off. We didn't do it with every pass, that would have been ridiculous...kind of like how ridiculous it is that we always look for the short pass now.

👀 If SR wanted to show ambition...
