Graham Potter’s Brighton plays a complex tactical game, with a focus on maintaining possession and pressing high - all the hallmarks of a top team.
As Alex Stewart explains, it’s not just Potter’s tactical approach that is a ready fit for a top team.

As a Swansea fan, his success with Brighton breaks my heart. Why did you leave us, Graham? We could have been the biggest water bird club - nobody likes gulls, Graham. A swan is far superior to a seagull. You’ve got a sexy beard now too - why are you making me feel like this?
I think the Liverpool might have something to say about that
I love this comment. Serious sentiments presented with ridiculous humour.
Better love story than Twilight
Hey friend, just move on, there are plenty more birds by the sea :)
Had Spurs gone for him, would you have been more aggrieved that he switched allegiances to land birds?
I'd love to know how involved he is in recruitment - Brighton has consistently recruited well for their own system. Bit of Moneyball about them with their smart purchases.
? payed 6m for Ryan and he went to Sociedad for free lol
@@juz882010 But signings like mwepu, cucurella and veltman seem shrewd
@@juz882010 we’ve got worse than that, locadia, jahanbaksh and more
In Östersund he basically restructured the entire scouting and recruitment operation
@@danielolaniran5147 cucurella isn’t a good signing.
There's such a glimmer in Alex's eye when he relates potters man management to his own dance in the super league video. Happiness and Alex, an odd but endearing combination. Great video as always.
I watched an interview with Trossard and he told that Potter was the reason to go to Brighton. The coach flew to Belgium to talk to him about his new system and how Trossard would fit in. He was charmed and signed for the club the next day.
This is great to see as a Swede who's been following his journey all the way from the swedish fourth tier to beating Arsenal and then going to Swansea and now Brighton doing very well. Big fan of Potter.
Hes definitely the best english manager right now and his potential to grow is very exciting. If Steven Gerrard manages a premier league club it would be a fascinating clash between the two best english manager prospects
Sean dyche
Come on Man Utd - offer a huge contract, compensate Brighton etc
@@nikobellic570 why would he go currently
Steven Gerrard is a Scouse
@Sparsh Khurana he's Scouse not English 😂
Potter WON the Swedish FA Cup in 2017 with Ostersunds.
A team from a town of 50,000 people.
That's smaller than most clubs in the English National League.
Climbed from the 4th division too. Amazing what he did with Ostersunds.
Check size of Burnley !
@@markmcdowell2733 Not quite as impressive as you'd think considering the club cheated it's way to success.
@Ulises Leon wrong.
OGS got a BIG job off the back of his experience.
Potter HAS NOT got a big job off the back of his experience.
Regardless of his success or failure at Man Utd, OGS has at least been given the chance.
Something Potter hasn't.
@@dagsommar3713 really? I'm largely basing it on what I read in 'Edge what business can learn from football'. I just felt his management style and ethos was impressive.
The latter part of the video reflects on the excellent man management ability of Graham Potter and how he needs that first big club to start winning trophies. Maybe these attributes are decisive why Todd is getting him for Chelsea?
This video just became even more relevant. Crazy that since you've made this hes made his way to a top 6 club. Kinda like a you called it scenario? Very Cool man!
As a Brighton fan - not yet but I hope so. He's done well but still prone to mistakes and odd decisions and is still learning. We're yet to see how we cope without Bissouma long term. Also usually these videos come out just as our form is beginning to wane haha.
😂😂so true. Great tactician and approach to control and pressing, though the system can be stale at parts and like you said bissouma’s defensive statistics in the side are above and beyond any other Brighton player
thats actually quite true, when managers from small clubs make mistakes and odd decisions, people tend to overlook that and focus on the positive side of things, whereas things are complete opposite for those managing big clubs
Caicedo
I’m still in shock Tuchel has been sacked so early on. Considering Tuchel has had question marks around his man management, maybe Potter is the right answer. Still so sad to see Tuchel go. Great vid that’s especially relevant today.
Potter has a degree in Social Science, which is what Chelsea needs with the type of babies (players) they have. Tuchel wasn't great at handling personalities, hence the reason he didn't last long at PSG either.
I am here after Porter has been appointed Chelsea head coach....this was beautiful. Thanks tifo
Before I even watch this video my answer is “YES”. Spurs, United, Newcastle, all looking for a long term future manager… well here he is. Amazing coach
I dont think he is ready for United's pressure and expectation (yet). Spurs, Newcastle, Everton could be good choices for him
@@azkarusydan6039 I think he’s absolutely right for them, no messing around with 1-2 years big names get the right man in now
Agree totally. How we decided to pass this man up and go for Nuno I have no idea.
@@WaterCarrier07 the last thing United want is a gamble on a coach’s first time at a titanic club
@@WaterCarrier07 Potter has never managed big name superstars or challenged for major trophies. (The Swedish league with Oestursunds is most certainly not a big trophy) Appointing him at United is a massive risk. Conte or Zidane are the perfect options for that job.
The north London clubs should be looking at Potter, he's be great for them.
So he's innovative, plays a high-press, possession-based, attacking football, knows how to work within a bigger recruitment team and use his funds wisely, believes in developing youth and is a great man-manager..
As a Liverpool fan, this definitely rings a bell.. :)
They're not tactically the same though, but maybe that's because he's managing a team with less quality. His build up speed is a lot slower and he defends a lot deeper generally, so actually not that much of a pressing team.
please let us united a chance to get a great coach for once. liverpool already has klopp 😭
@@edivaldonunes3386 yh i would say his style is more similar to pep rather then klopp tbh
I don't watch Brighton a lot this year, but their run is so significant! Used to read about the time Potter spending in Osterund and I think he's such a quality manager. Thank Tifo IRL for making this video!
I was very impressed by his work at OFK. The book 'Edge' has a fascinating chapter about him and his work in Sweden.
Boehly search “443 fancy tactics” and this video got recomended the rest its history
As a Liverpool fan, Brighton is an exciting team to watch especially how Graham Potter able to make this team statistically good since last season. I hope this season they are able to deliver the result by finish in top half or maybe play european football next season.
Brighton is the team you lowkey root for bc their manager is so good. But at the same time, I feel conflicted because Maupay isn't very likeable imo.
Maupay is an old-fashioned 'nasty' centre forward, I respect his tenacity.
Maupay is just an edgy Diego Costa
It's Diego Costa inside the body of Diogo Jota
I agree. But you can like Adam Lallana instead. He's a likeable guy.
Maupay is a shithouse but he's our shithouse
Love watching Potters teams. Very smart coach, man manager... and seems like a decent guy as well. I know it might be very cliché and old school, but the only thing i would worry about with Potter is his ability to deal with high profile player egos. Nothing suggests he would't be great at it... but with all his teams, he has been the highest ranking guy at the club. I wonder how he would cope with trying to get players like Pogba or Aubameyang onboard. Not that he's really in contention for Arsenal or Man Utd... but ego is a tricky thing when trying to instill a style of play. Great vid :)
Tbh I don't think it's fair to expect any manager to create a cohesive unit with the insanely well paid prima donnas. There's a reason the teams with them serially underperform (recently Ronaldo, Pogba, Ney, Mbappe at Juve/United/PSG), irrespective of manager. Tuchel wasn't the problem at PSG evidently.
It's honestly poor recruitment on behalf of those clubs. Potter would be smart to stay away and look for a more well-functioning club.
Well we might soon find out. As a Chelsea fan I hope we get him, from everything I hear and see.
Who would have thought he would manage Auba at Chelsea? ;)
Now auba is at Chelsea m life is mad
Tifo is the goat at making interesting videos i never asked for but i needed
Andre will u start instead of Tom Davies please. I can't watch another game like that again. And tell Rafa to drop Iwobi and Rondon it feels like 9 men on the pitch when they play. Thanks Andre : )
Moyes and his love of the people with something to prove would be a good video.
Think his player development is solid.
i’ve been saying for a while that as a united fan if he came to old trafford and brought yves bissouma with him then i’d be really excited. no clue at all if he’s the real deal but seems like a reasonably calculated risk
Excellent timing
I’m a City fan and I’ve always wanted Potter as our Pep replacement because I see so many similarities. Also I feel like Potter is a manager that can hold down a position long term (of course if he wants to)
Potter is the kind of manager that secretly makes you root for his team
It's going to be interesting to see how things go. There was that report a while ago that the FA wanted him to replace eventually Southgate, which would presumably be unlikely were he to get a 'big' club job in the near future.
I also had similar opinion of Eddie Howe, for success of a manager a lot is also down to the right recruitment of players and coaching staff too
Potter is a better manager than Howe. It's not close.
@@LaurentCourtines Maybe.
He's seems like a genuinely nice guy at a friendly club. I would like to see him take his team to europe for atleast a year and see how his team does with 2 games a week, that's often where you find out how good of a coach someone is, it's a lot easier to drill your team for a whole week than having a day or two to get your tactics and team ready for another game. I thought Everton should him scooped him up, I would like to see him at Leicester or Tottenham, I think if he gets United job, Ronaldo and Pogba will chew him out in 3 months, Arsenal and AFTV will do the same. Klopp said he himself, when he was at Mainz, it's a small market team, big media doesn't care about them, he was able to learn on the job, make mistakes and they weren't plastered on every front page. Living in the states, hot young basketball coaches used to jump ship at every occasion to a bigger job for decades, but over the last decades, the really good ones have figured out it's better to stay put unless the jump is significant, build a program, become a powerhouse and then jump to a truly big job.
He probably won't do it, and night see it as a step down, but it would be interesting to see him give it a go with either red bull Salzburg or red bull Leipzig.
Would be awesome to see something like this on Marco Rose from Dortmund. Looks to be a really interesting and talented young manager!
Geez, the mount rushmore image of coaches does not include Ancelotti. Wow.
This aged so well. KTBBFH
The Brighton and Graham Potter hype trains continues again for another season, hopong this time the hype will last until the end of the season and Brighton will finish in a better spot than last season.
Man, you are spot on for this assessment. Today where he is speaks volume.
You mean wensday the games postponed
Could you breakdown the turnaround of Arteta and Arsenal? They went from losing the first 3 games embarrassingly and Arteta being the favourite for first manager to get sacked to now being 8 games unbeaten in all comps, really an astonishing and under appreciated u turn of their season.
Will you be doing an analysis video about Julian Naggelsman in this manner since he’s often talked about in this conversation of high quality and upcoming coaches? Sure he’ll be in the bundesliga for the foreseeable future but it’s only a matter of time before he follows Kloop and Tuchel to the Premier League. (Maybe even to replace one of them.)
Yess Here We Go
Best channel on RUclips and it’s not even close
This aged like milk 😂
Alex and his performative dance ❤❤
“He’s going to be able to work at a club that is prioritizing long term strategy”
And… Potter has joined Chelsea.
Been waiting for this video. Potter is a great manager spurs should have pushed for him in the summer
It’s amazing how, we originally used to have footballers always going out on the p**s together, then that stopped, and now it’s seen as ‘revolutionary’ for a coach to try and introduce this once again.
Love the thumbnail
Im quite excited that Potter was given this opportunity to manage at the top level. His story is absolutely great. I hope he succeeds at Chelsea.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@BinkyTheGoddessDivine he has a better life than you 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂 L
Lads, where did you get that table???? It’s amazing.
Tottenham should have signed Potter instead of Nuno.
I'm not religious but I literally prayed for Potter at Spurs
Man utd should get potter and sack ole too not that i want them too i hope they keep ole lol but they would for sure be a much better team with potter
@@Boomtowndogs I really don't understand why Tottenham got Nuno. They fired Mourinho to hire a pound and Mourinho. Doesn't make sense. Potter would have been brilliant at Tottenham.
Watching this as a Liverpool fan on the eve of Brighton vs Liverpool... I think it will be an interesting match. Won't be too surprised if there's a draw or an upset if Brighton frustrate Liverpool enough while defending.
Hopefully the quality of Liverpool's players shines through though.
You call it with it being a draw. What I will say as a City fan Potter’s side gave use an awful time last weekend and on another day may have taken points from us. He’s a brilliant tactician and has them all well drilled, i’d be very interested to see what he could do at a top club
Nostradamus.
Untilt this video I haven‘t noticed what a great beard Alex can grow.
Back here again to this Video after Chelsea appointment
What is the table you use?
Graham Potter is a legend in Östersund🪄
I really wonder if he could do a Job at United. I know he's not ideal, but there aren't any great fits, I just feel he has a good attacking identity and he's good tactically, it's just could h handle it at a big club where winning is expected?
Real ones remember Potter at OFK when The Chance was going on and his team signed a couple players from Nike Academy
I actually think he’d do well in the spurs job. The influx of cash he’d receive from the kane sale would allow him to build “his” team included with the quality that spurs posses right now. As an arsenal fan i hope it dosn’t happen😅
What Kane sale?
No one will buy kane.
@@nurcirino assuming he goes in the summer
I think he's one more move away to Spurs's level. Maybe Everton first after BHA, then Spurs then comes the really big offers
@@akmalrodzi4633 are spurs really that much more attractive a prospect than everton especially considering Everton's big money owners
welcome to chelsea, graham potter
Yes he is. I still don't understand why Spurs didn't try everything to get him
Levy probably didn't want to pay the contract buy out clause lol
Welcome to Chelsea
Definitely seems like he’s next in line for a club like Leicester or Everton
Wouldn't mind seeing him at NUFC if he's given either a great recruitment team, or he's heavily involved in that.
Probably not last season everyone was saying the same about Hasenhüttl and look how that turned out
The thumbnail got me like, dattebayo!
Tifo sees the future. What are the lotto numbers?
He did magic with Östersunds FK so yes!
Fun thing to add. I sat and watched the video with a coffee mug with Potter Grahams face on it from ÖFKs support organisation 😅
Whoever would have expected the words 'No disrespect to Brighton'? Used in every piece by every pundit covering Potter, as all anyone ever seems to want to talk about is how things relate to the super league conspirators. Jahanbakhsh who is shown on the bench left in the summer, Trossard and Gross play on the opposite sides to those shown, the long pass expert is Dunk, not Duffy. There's no mention of Adam Webster who's ball carrying has been one of the side's most effective space makers this season. Duffy or Burn will give way for him when he's fully fit. Its pronounced Alzatey, not Alzatt. None of the dancing and singing at Ostersund was of Potter's doing. Listen to his interviews, he has stated this frequently. I suppose that these pieces will increase if we maintain the high league position that a good start and a fairly favourable fixture list has helped lift us to. I obviously hope that this happens, but would hope that any future ones are less shoddy in their attention to detail.
Was thinking yesterday with all the noise about a new manager at Man U that Potter might be the best hiring decision
Great video, but my I make a recommendation for a video?
Why does Flick work and Löw fail?
Because generally, it's always better to flick high not low
This is video 2 in Tifo's transformation to be exclusively a performative dance channel.
He's class, I think he'd be a good fit for Everton or Newcastle.
Not Benitez? 🤔🤔🤔
Your statement contradicts itself really
@@MrDufus20 Benitez is good, but I think Potter represents new ideas and tactics
Oh he definitely is, him and Thomas Frank. They play beautiful, seemingly easy-on-the-eye football.
"Yer a Manager, Graham!"
Your video came true
If I were United, I'd be sitting very tightly to see how this season plays out with Brighton.
This aged well
I would say Thomas Frank if I didn’t believe Brentford were going to grow into a big club overtime between their business model, staying in the premier league and how that area of London is expected to grow in the future.
Who's the 4th one in the thumbnail pep Klopp Potter and ??
As a Liverpool I'm happy that United are poorly enough run that they're not even going to consider trying to get Potter
Depends how you define big. He would be a good choice for a mid table team aiming for an EL spot, but he's far from big club material. Remember when you similarly hyped up Quique Setien, olny for him to go down like a lead balloon at Barca? There's a reason certain managers thrive under pressure, surrounded by big names and big egos, while others prefer to be the big fish in a small pond. I'd say Potter is of the latter category, but not for lack of tactical accumen.
Looks like he’ll be coaching Chelsea if he keeps this up
Great manager
Would love him at Newcastle
I have a honest question, why would Guardiola ever be put alongside other great managers or even on the Mount Rushmore of managers when he has never overachieved with any club he coached (quite the opposite in fact with both City and Bayern)
Because he wins,
Yes he's been at big clubs but he started at Barcelona B, promoted to Barcelona, dominated,
Then got approached by Sir Alex to replace him in 2013 but he was on sabbatical, went to Bayern, dominated with his style of play, approached by City, dominated with his style of play
People say he's only been at big clubs, but that's because only big clubs approach him
If he replaced Sir Alex United would have splashed the cash like City and like a phoenix he would've helped United evolve into modern football
People who criticise Pep are clueless. If money and having great players guaranteed wins, Ole would be winning it all at United right now.
What would overachieving be for those clubs? Not winning everything is considered under achievement, so how can they over achieve?
Not even a City or Barca fan, but Pep delivers consistency. Winning football that's also actually good to watch for most. And breaking records at that. And is also one of those managers whose success is judged on how many Champions League he has, which tells you the levels we're speaking of. The last manager judged similar I remember is a man that managed another club in Manchester. I tend to not remember the name, but he was red nosed and dominated the league majority of the years during his tenure.
You called it. Chelsea has listened to tifo
He was my number 1 want for spurs
He can be!
He's at Chelsea now💙
Am I the only one disappointed that Alex has not had his nails done?
Stop setting unrealistic beauty expectations for poor Alex!
this guy called it.
"Possibly he'll get a chance at a slightly bigger club first and maybe win something."
So if he wins something with Chelsea, he might be up to start coaching a big club. ;-)
Kwasiaaa Man
funny this! my dad was just saying last night how he reckons Potter could be city's next step after pep
I see him becoming Chelsea coach one day.
A bit funny this was recommended to me right after Chelsea are rumored to hire him.
10 month, he is our manager now
hey, where is the scattergram video? we need that 🇮🇩
Said this about potter time ago. Top 4 sans there best player. Playing a very aesthetically pleasing brand of football as well.
This is kind of like one of them Nostradamus videos.
So he's basically Ted and Nate rolled into one
Make video of potter with Chelsea team
This video aged like fine wine.
Matter of time being 10 months 👏
I wonder how this landed in my recommendations haha
