Would be a good point if Rashford was still scoring.And a whole new one like who's going to score goals? We've seen season what happens when we don't create or score enough. It's alright getting rid of people but we still need players to play and score.
We’ve also seen this season how damaging Rashford can be to the game plan, giving away possession over and over in the final third leaving us open for the counter. That along with his half arsed attitude, we’re better off selling him and replacing him. The goals will come when we have more playmakers in the side, a lot of this season that responsibility has fallen solely on Bruno, if he has a bad game then we’re screwed.And a whole new one like who's going to score goals?

I also wouldn't mind Potter, the point is more than Arteta wasn't ready for Arsenal when he went in, it is something he has grown into and the management of the club allowed him to grow into it in a football world where the ready made options are not available to us for various reasons, we have to be prepared as a club, fan base and all, to let the process grow naturally.It's different being the main man though, a lot of the scrutiny would've been at Ole and the players in his time here. He knows to expect it but actually being able to manage it is another thing.
Outside of knowing the club well, could you argue that he's much more qualified than say Graham Potter? Potter has done very well in lower leagues and even at Brighton but was not quite ready to step up to the big time.
Bear in mind also that McKenna is not a club legend like Ole, he probably won't come in with that instant respect or admiration.
A good coach but is he ready to step up 3 or 4 levels already?
A lot of his style is about variation depending on the opposition, but I’d sayWhat is exactly his style of play? Hopefully, it's something modern attacking football type?
Thanks. It sounds like an attacking, hard working and tactical flexible team. It's good to know what to expect if he become our manager.A lot of his style is about variation depending on the opposition, but I’d say
- usually (80% maybe) of the time we play 4 at the back
- he’s keen (but not completely wedded to) playing out from the back.
-sees full backs as an attacking weapon
-primarily (though not always) uses our centre mids defensively, often filling the gap created by an overlapping full back
- in general creating overloads (this is the key bit. It’s created so so many chances to score in the last two seasons) as much as possible.
- At least one of the strikers should be prepared to go wide and the other (more of your classic ‘big man’ to stay centrally.
- fitness; we’ve outrun almost everyone I think.
But as I say it’s having a squad that can vary how they play, and persuading the players to buy into that, that I think has been key for us.
After being rewarded handsome compensation though. Depends if dreams can be buy for himYou would absolutely all Graham Potter him out of a job, and any big job ever again, within 6 months.
Do you think he's good at managing a defence? Is your team able to suffocate and stifle teams at will (I'm not talking about the full 90 mins of course but being able to control important moments) whether through pressing, possession or sitting back?A lot of his style is about variation depending on the opposition, but I’d say

Why would he go there?
It's a stable job within a good structure. He goes down with Ipswich after next season, their owners might not want to stick with him.Why would he go there?
His stock won't get any higher at Ipswich next season unless he keeps them up, which seems a very daunting task given that a lot of their squad is still made up of League One level playersWhy would he go there?
Sounds like the structure at Ipswich is pretty, good, and Brighton, albeit they play decent football, are not a major contender for champions league, so I would be very surprised if he went there.It's a stable job within a good structure.

He doesn't have to get them CL, just European football for the next season would be a good achievement, given how they've performed this season.Sounds like the structure at Ipswich is pretty, good, and Brighton, albeit they play decent football, are not a major contender for champions league, so I would be very surprised if he went there.
And pay them a huge compensation fee for it? May as well get him now.Brighton to develop him for a few years for us, please and thank you
So perhaps he fancies challenging himself, as well as his players, to adapt quickly to premier league football, and to see if his ideas work in that environment?His stock won't get any higher at Ipswich next season unless he keeps them up, which seems a very daunting task given that a lot of their squad is still made up of League One level players
Maybe so, but I would be surprised if he joined Brighton.He doesn't have to get them CL, just European football for the next season would be a good achievement, given how they've performed this season.
NahAnd pay them a huge compensation fee for it? May as well get him now.

Makes no sense. Didn’t Chelsea have a very good 2nd half to the season, only bettered by City and Arsenal?Tweet

Their boss being a total moron might be one option.Makes no sense. Didn’t Chelsea have a very good 2nd half to the season, only bettered by City and Arsenal?
They just managed to steady things and started looking up, why would they rock the boat again?
It would be a very Boehly thing to do.Why would they sack potch when things are actually starting to click?
