That is harsh when you consider who we were playing in RDZ’s first few games! Even an on fire GP team would have probably stumbled in most of those games imo.
Liverpool, City, Spurs, bogey team Brentford and Forest
I will certainly not argue that FH is way more pragmatic than RDZ, with less ego, on what we have seen so far though.

I’m not a native German speaker but I thought it was OK to replace umlauted vowels with the “<vowel>e” construct if life is getting difficult and you can’t find the umlauted version. Admittedly it was at school 55 years ago but we were told that the umlaut was originally an “e” that, for some reason, started to be written above the vowel rather than after it. As time went by the “e”, above the vowel, when written, became corrupted into the umlaut. But I might be wrong.

Nahh.
Fab had a full preseason to get his style across.
RDZ was bought in mid season. Big difference. He wasn't sacrificing points
It's absolutely standard practice to use an "e" if you don't have a keyboard with an umlaut.

What’s been another interesting aspect of Fabian’s impact is our very high line in defence and, touch wood, how the defence have generally been able to keep a disciplined line to get the offsides. Eg Trossard was offside in the build up to Martin Odegaard’s missed chance.
It was actually Man United that seemed to have found a way to breach this high line by playing triangular passes and then releasing their wide men against us, but thankfully we came through that test.
I loved RDZ’s style of play which was incredibly brave in terms of playing out from the back but did leave us hopelessly open at times. Hurzeler seems to have developed our play more in terms of the defensive line.
In the recent Matts Weiffer interview with Glen Murray and Paul Hayward he mentions the word ‘scanning’ 2/3 times and the ploy to play the quick pass to create a quicker attack. I think the best example was his pass to Mitoma from his own box for our first goal against Everton.
I expect Hurzeler has been working with Weiffer on his expectations for these quicker transitions.
The change between RDZ and Fabian is stated as evolution of a possession style but I have to say that I’ve seen quite a big change in terms of our desire to attack quicker and have less obsession with possession at all costs.

Nope. RDZ didn't impose his style immediately, and continued playing the three at the back he found on his arrival. There were eight PL games until the WC break, and we didn't win until the seventh, against Chelsea.
We saw his 'philosophy' after the WC break, when he had a bonus (equivalent of a) pre-season to get his ideas across. Results really picked up thereafter:

Great post but my recollection is that Weiffer mentioned scanning on more occasions in that interview.
Agree, I think that's very harsh. We played Spurs (and were unlucky to not get anything), Liverpool, and City away and absolutely battered Forest in a typical Potteresque performance v a park the bus team. The only real dissapointing result was Brentford away who were also very good that season. I'm not sure you could expect many brand new managers with no pre season to get that much more from those games.Nope.

Thank you @Hugo Rune. Informative video, updated for FH’s time with us.
I look forward to overlaying imaginary spiders webs over our patterns of play in real time.

If you just hold the 'u' when typing on your phone it will give you options. It's the same for any other special letters. I had to learn this as well when I emigrated as we have a lot of the extra letters here. It makes sense once you know
ümlauting
Thank yoü.
I knew about umlauts but I didn't know the German alphabet also had bold type as well as larger font sizes for surnames. I must remember that as it's incredibly important.
stets
Not if you are using a hardware keyboard, then its a case of hold the alt button and type 0252 and release the alt button.
It looks like this for ü.
