Who else is in that five? I can’t say I have stopped to think who should and should not be in such a list It is tricky because I imagine most would say Pep and Klopp but Pep has never had to work with limited resources
So four of the top five coaches in the world are in the premier league. It might well be true but I’d be surprised. Up until recently I would have put Simeone up there - and still might. Atletico don’t really have any right to be challenging the top two in Spain
Simeone, Poch, Tuchel, Ten Hag, Nagelsmann, ancelotti, Zidane, Allegri are all better than potter. Even Moyes, Howe & Koeman have arguably achieved more. Heck even Roy Hodgson has done more. I can also name a fair few from Spain and Germany that have potential like potter I think Potter is off to a really strong start but to put him in the top 5 already is crazy. He hasnt done anything yet. Brighton could still be relegated
Achieved is somewhat different to better though. Sven has achieved much more, as has Ranieri, but you wouldn't consider them better? Obviously I know I'm being slightly controversial re Potter, but I do think he's very, very good.
I’m impressed by how Brighton seem to make this gs work that shouldn’t on paper. A back three with March and Trossard as wing backs (at least according to the bbc), 4 central midfielders and welbeck as the sole striker really shouldn’t work. Let alone score five goals in a match The love fest risks getting nauseating though. Tuesday on TalkSport the presenters were happily jacking away - and then they lost to Fulham. I guess it is because people will be pushing for him to be the next England manager? Not sure I see it unless Southgate stays for a fair while longer. Like up to the next euros
I think that Laces means currently in the same way that Messi and Ronaldo are not currently the best players in the World but have formerly achieved that status and are rightly considered in the GOAT category. A lot of it is about the style of play and Potter's team do play attractive and very effective football.
Diego Costa’s work permit application rejected. Wolves appealing. Would probably serve them better if it was rejected again…
