It was noticeable that Fullkrug was 'encouraging ' other players during the game. I wish Bowen would do the same. And Potter from the touchline. This team need a boot up the proverbial to wake them up. 😉
The team is lacking lots, including a true leader on the pitch IMO
Could do worse than recall Soucek to the starting XI
I said that ages ago that I feel Soucek is a better captain than Bowen ( not player ) but a leader/captain I like to see him gee up the team, I don't see that in Bowen...
Moyes managed to uplift Everton and Nuno Herlander Simões Espírito Santo has magical effect on Nottingham Forest. But WHU managers can't seem to uplift the team - Lopetegui spent millions; Potter is struggling and it was another dismal performance against Southampton.
Rather than imposing his own will straight away, a good manager should see what players are capable of and devise a plan accordingly. Once players have confidence then the manager can start the change gradually. Unless there is change in approach I fear more bad time next seson.
Potters first season begins in August in my view, but he has had the perfect luxury of of 4-5 month appraisal of the task ahead, to bond with players, instigate a system he expects them to adopt and see exactly who he wants and does not want next season. Due to this he must hit the ground running and there will be no excuse for the kind of performances we have been having during this time.
