[Albion] How long will YOU give Fab before calling for his head

Eeyore · Sep 28, 2024

Seem to recall something similar after RDZ's first few matches.

Our defending is. We've also had a lot of luck so far apart from the Everton opener. United had a goal disallowed correctly but it was unlucky for them. Ipswich had the best chance of the match hitting the woodwork albeit their only chance of the game. The Arsenal point was good but again we got lucky with Rice's stupidity. Crawley played us off the park at times in cup and wolves missed sitters with our defence all over the place. Its early and Fabian is learning but this Premier league is unforgiving compared to the German 2nd division.

On the flip side, only the top four have scored more goals. This is the way it was always going to be.

You can't have both. Unless you are a top four team, which we are not. We are a mid-table team, whatever has been spent.

I agree but a few comments on this thread suggest short patience, lose the next two…..

After a pre season, 8 matches, and £200 million quid spent?

I agree it's early days but it doesn't look like we need to click. We need to not defend like morons

Remind me, did we get taken apart in any of those games?

Bournemouth away, was shocking…..

Honestly, I'm concerned that our defence is poor especially without JPVH and Fabs tactics are making us far too easy to score against.

OMG - that really was awful.
Villa away as well but that was earlier to be fair….

I find it hard to fathom (but not really) how so many of you seem to be in need of Pampers, so early in the season.

Not in RDZ’s first few matches though? @Eeyore was suggesting it happened in RDZ’s first few matches. We didn’t win much but we were not taken apart were we?

Thought it was the last few months we were discussing, my bad….

Yeah, but villa are top end premier league despite me disliking them so much!

If we'd manage to ship a 5th before half-time to a simple 'over the top' ball I'd have been asking the Stewards to let me out to the pub. There's sticking with a plan and there's taking the p*ss.

No, because he was mainly following what Potter did

What confuses me is, Fabi built a reputation at St Pauli for being adaptable tactically, knowing when to play one way and when to play another way depending on the opposition. We’ve not really seen this yet at Brighton, and hopefully it comes through sooner rather than later — not because the performances so far have been shite but because it’s necessary if we’re to qualify for Europe again as the club hierarchy and many fans aim to do. My guess is he’s still bedding in his tactics, which has to happen before he can get the team alternating between approaches.

Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
