Potter works under 'a collective rather than a dictatorship' - Murray

Former Brighton striker Glenn Murray has been reflecting on his time working under "thought-provoking" and "meticulous" manager Graham Potter at Amex Stadium, following his appointment as West Ham boss.

"He's not rigid - he's not stuck in a system or a style. He's very fluid and I think we even see that in games," Murray told BBC Radio 5 Live.

"When I played under him, we would change formations two or three times in a single afternoon. It is quite a skill to be able to have your players understand everything you want from them and be able to change in games.

"I mean, these changes weren't made at half-time. He wasn't exactly sitting everyone down - it was an instruction from the sidelines. We all knew our jobs and how to change that style in games, which I think is credit to his managerial capabilities.

"Graham is a very thought-provoking manager. He knows exactly what he wants, but he wants feedback from the players. It's a collective rather than a dictatorship and he will meticulously study each and every opponent.

"He will plan the best way to try to penetrate and hurt that opponent, and obviously win games at the end of the week."
