I think we should allow Potter to grow. Improve our recruitment of players with focus on Potter’s vision. There is no reason to think Potter cannot do what Arteta is doing after being backed for 3 years. However, it’s different whether Chelsea fans and owners have patience akin to Arsenal. I was myself thinking who we will bring in next.. before realizing maybe Potter is the rite man.
But Clive Tyldesley was on commentary, and he’s just so much better than everyone else that I instead kept the radio commentary on. All the officials would need to do is verify that the vest is on the right way, the chip is positioned correctly and away we go. Advantage to attackers especially if the defender is running away from goal and trying to play offside with the forward running in the other direction. The only flaw might be that the rules for offside in VAR games are minutely different to Tim’s suggestion that could be applied everywhere else.In many ways, we all become obsolete. It is part of ageing.
I think All or Nothing didn’t help either. I think Keys has been exposed to a modern football, where it is about nutrition, and ideas as laughable as lightbulbs. To Keys, a textbook Proper Football Man, he just sees own obsolescence and irrelevance. The years of putting your boot in, they don’t like it up em, fackin’ run around a bit is over. His ability to analyse the game to the level and depth of Arteta is simply not there.
Personally, I think Owly McOwlface would be a better name for Wednesday’s ground – but what do I know?Father Dave on Thursday
