[Albion] Is Hurzeler out of his depth?

[Bakero]

Brilliant result but if we are being totally honest it does paper over the cracks slightly.

First half we were totally over ran and didn’t adapt to deal with it, you have to also question some of the changes, Baleba coming off in particular was a strange one and seemed to allow Spurs into it for the last 15 mins.

Very much early days, but would be foolish to allow a fantastic 45 mins to not allow us to question some of the flaws in the Chelsea performance and first 45 mins this afternoon.

I hope he can adapt and we can adapt accordingly, not very often will you go 2-0 down and still win the game.

I think that's the second time we've done it in the last 80 PL games. 3 guesses who the last one was against.

I go to football, or if abroad watch on TV, to be entertained. Fabian is entertaining me and I stand by my opinion that we hit a perfect Chelsea storm last week when everything they hit went in. They were caught offside loads of times and that is taken as a negative by many on here but it isn’t because it worked. Palmer had the best 45 mins he’ll ever have in his career imo.

Today was a rollercoaster but it turned out to be absolutely f***ing brilliant. Much more brilliant than a CH, everyone behind the ball 0-0 at Wolves that stank the PL out for me

Unbelievable

We have just beaten a top 7 Club 3:2 and are 6th place after 7 matches.

Yes the first half was shite and our tactics has been a work in progress but seriously a thread asking a leading question whether FH is ‘out of his depth’ after a second half and win like that

WE BEAT SPURS. Did we expect to?

And not one positive comment about him in response to my post on the Fabian Hürzeler thread.

Trust NSC half glass moaners to piss on the fireworks.

I get the feeling he learnt a lot today.
Must remember he's young and still learning, and a lot of our squad are still settling in.
We may be critical, but we're 6th FFS... 6th and we know we can be better than we have been.
In the first 7 matches we've played 4 of the big 6 too!

And missing JPVH, O’Reilly and Pedro. That’s 3 massive players.

Learning on the job while we keep getting something or everything from most games. In a year we could be the best we've ever been.

I'm guessing this is a work load thing as much as anything. He has quickly become an integral part of the Cameroon side and is likely to play two full matches over the international break. He is still only 20 (and only a year older than Hinshelwood).

I think we had the wool pulled over our eyes for the first few games. Is he Hyypia number two?

errm......

Very true - but that point at Wolves was vital, I seem to remember

Paper over the cracks.............we are sixth!

Is it possible to put bed wetters in a sin bin ?

Their own special threads for a while? Maybe a 'Mothercare' sub forum

I came on here at half time and had to check I wasn't in a crèche. The amount of wet bedsheets would keep the local launderette so busy they'd be able to retire in no time

 

[BadFish]

6th and we have played 2 of the top four already.

Not a bad start if you ask me. And things will improve from here I believe.

Another not while watching the game: hurtz' coach patted him on the chest, as if you give him the credit for that turn around. 'you did that boss'.

There will be ups and downs and we'll cop some hammerings from time to time but we are in good hands. I am very excited to see how Hurtzball develops.

Ignore the troll

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

I’m still trying to fully understand the tactics BUT this is helped by Hürzeler often explaining what he is trying to do. I have not heard this from a manager since Coppell left. It’s very refreshing.

It’s clear he knows what he wants, he’s a smart guy who is clearly also willing to learn.

I had some doubts but listening to him, his reasoning and explanations for things, he knows what he’s doing….I’m on board.
