Potter’s side put in a decent performance against the Reds despite losing 2-0 at the Amex Stadium. Goals from Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah did not tell the whole story of the match as Albion failed to capitalise on chances of their own. Neal Maupay, Danny Welbeck and Leandro Trossard all had good chances to score and on another day could have fired Albion to a famous win. After the game,
Grahmam Potter said: “We’ve got a lot of young players who will benefit from this experience, that’s for sure. Robert Sanchez, Tariq Lamptey, Alexis Mac Allister and Steven Alzate will get better because of this experience and that’s a part of what we’re trying to do as a club. But at the same time you’ve got to get points and you need to get results in the Premier League, it’s an unforgiving league and sometimes you have to suffer. That’s where we are. There are a lot of positives. It’s hard to say that when you’ve lost, but we kept going all the way and had some opportunities and we will take that into the next game.”
Next up in the Premier League, Albion host Tottenham Hotspur. The London side have just been beaten 3-2 by Manchester United at Old Trafford. Potter is aiming for maximum points.
Graham Potter said: “My aim is to beat Tottenham, we focus on that as that’s the only thing we can do. We’re in a bit of a moment where we’re suffering but we need to focus on the next game.”
