Potter has no experience managing big personalities and top-level football but he has competed in the Europa League with Östersunds. The transformation he made with them in eight years was nothing short of extraordinary.

Great managers seize golden opportunities like this.

[Ervin @DieHardCFCFan]

Wrote a piece about Graham Potter’s Brighton appointment (following Hughton’s controversial sacking) for @elartedf three years ago. Main bits about Potter are towards the end.

Today Potter becomes Chelsea’s manager. I am optimistic about his tenure.

People underrate how well City have replaced their legends in the Pep era:

Hart ↪️ Ederson
Zabaleta ↪️ Walker
Kompany ↪️ Dias
Fernandinho ↪️ Rodri
Yaya ↪️ KDB
Silva ↪️ Bernardo (+Foden)
Agüero ↪️ Haaland ⌛

This is easily the most unconventional piece I've ever written. I can only thank @AnubhavSarker to not only read my rants on the matter, but also green-lighting this piece.

Let me know what you guys think. Critical feedback is always welcome.

[Ricky Stanicky @manlikedee_]

It is human nature to hone in more on what went wrong instead of what went right, and naturally, everyone has an opinion.

excerpt from 👇🏽. Interesting read

[El Arte Del Futbol @elartedf]

*Opinion*| It's virtually impossible to have level headed debates on Football Twitter these days. Guest columnist Anshuman Joshi (@fuocosolare) offered his thoughts on how and why we have reached such a phase in online discourse.

*New*🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧���| Despite starting reasonably well, Manchester United crumbled in the second half. A complete lack of desire compounded by poor individual performances resigned the club to an embarrassing 4-1 defeat at the hands of City.
