And Forest go marching on. First time Ive been convinced now they will get Champions League, they have opened a good gap especially if the teams below drop points. Plus with 5th place almost a cert then they are only looking at Newcastle with 2 games in hand plus City and Chelsea going on a winning run.

As for Man Utd - I dont even see them being a top 8 club again for a good 2-3 years. This manager needs a 5 year rebuild. 

 

West Ham - what was the point of Potter, I still fail to see what he has done to get that job. 1 good season out of 3 at Brighton who are the best ran club in the country and all the players were given to him with their model. The clud are screaming for someone like Thomas Frank.

Potter will need more than a couple of weeks to improve things with that squad.

They have got worse under him. 

He is playing Cresswell (33) ahead of Emerson, he brought back Ward-Prowse and is playing him who does nothing. His preferred midfield 3 is Soucek, Alvarez and JWP which has no creativity at all. The midfield should be Alvarez (holding), Paqueta (box to box) and Kudus (attacking). 

Its the third manager appointment in a row which has totally split the fan base.

I think the set-up they had in their last game will be the blueprint, but with Kudus and Todipo brought back in when they're fit - and possibly Emerson at LWB ahead of Scarles. 

 

Again, though - he'll need more time, and a few acquisitions with more athleticism.

I've had a little silly bet £20 on the toffees to win two nil at odds of 40/1

I've got beer, I've  got pizza, and the Merseyside Derby is on SKY: is this what they mean by 'toxic masculinity'?

He surprised everyone with this line up and nobody is sure what his tactics were. Guilherme was playing central in his first league start when he is a out and out winger. 

Wan Bissaka has been the best player this season and has done well at RWB but is far better at RB in or right side of a back 3. Coufal cant defend for toffee but is a good RWB and whips crosses in. 

 

I quite like Mavropanos but he has a big error in him, Todibo is easily the best CH and has been on the bench. 

 

Scarles has promise but still raw. Potter doesnt fancy Emerson at all which is bizarre as getting down the left is his strength. 

 

The issues lie with Sullivan though, he only goes for managers who are available on a free. But even Pro Potter fans went bonkers on Tuesday night after having 2 weeks with the squad during the international break that drivel was served up.

Silly bets are often worth it, especially midweek as Ive found results go against the odds quite regularly in midweek. Tarkowski should have seen a straight red. 

 

Whilst Ipswich won, result of the night goes to The Villa. Forest did all the hard work on Tuesday night but Newcastle, Villa and City all won and Chelsea could win tonight meaning they still have work to do. Plus its Villa v Forest on Saturday evening.
