Indeed but the team Potter inherited from Hughton’s dour spell immediately started to dominate the ball - 58% possession in his first home game, with Dale Stephens in midfield, and the likes of Glenn Murray and Shane Duffy.
The point is you only progress these days with a progressive coach.
Oh I accept that is correct long term.
If we had been relegated and were able to clear the decks and bring in young hungry players then I would have been all for Potter being appointed.
It worked for him at Brighton because whilst the players he inherited weren't great they were all willing to listen , learn and adapt. In the main they weren't big time Charlie's.
We saw at Chelsea that when he works with players with inflated egos who think they know it all it goes pear shaped and sadly I believe that's what would happen at Goodison with this awful group of players that we have accumulated.
A significant change in the way a team play with established players only really works if you are a Pep with massive charisma, reputation and backing from the club.
