You constantly knock RDZ although the players who he managed don’t seem to share the same narrative, quite the opposite in fact.

[Albion] Fab OUT

We ought to remember that, a bit like RDZ, we have a trailblazing boss that others are already trying to emulate.
There can be no greater compliment than Pep Guardiola himself adopting the ‘spectacular collapse while cruising to victory at 87 minutes’ tactic.

It’s wearing a bit thin we beat City everyone is beating City
How is it not working? We are ninth with 24 points from 16 games, it seems like it is working fine. It has been four matches since our last win, which is merely 10% of the Premier League season. Let's see what happens in these next few games, shall we? I'm sure you will be regretting your comments.

He absolutely will if the players he invested huge sums of money on are seen to be depreciating and as a team we’re going backwards.
Way too soon though, if we get nothing out of West Ham or Brentford then I’ll start to worry.

He can’t play in England ever again and won’t.

I didn’t think the new guy was going to directly be involved in helping coach the first team. More of a person who organises coaching across the different teams including u21s, and youth teams. I’m sure he can support Fab but ultimately the buck stops with Fabian.
What concerns me about Fab is that the passing structures we had with RDZ seem to have gone totally.
Coaching, from clips that I’ve seen, seem to be fitness drills and practice games played at break neck speed.
We seem to have lost the control that we had under Potter and RDZ and our ability to pass around teams has diminished.
We seem to have gone from a passing team to a helter skelter team who don’t have the defensive structure or defenders to play that way.
I’d like to see us play a more sensible midfield with Wieffer playing as a defensive midfielder and have Baleba playing a freer role to give us greater physicality and barrier in front of the back four. Almost like a back to basics stance as I think we have the attackers to change games but at present we are just Too open at the back and are conceding too many.

Agree with comment in previous post. We seem to be trying to play direct balls most of the time. Was awful to watch compared to RDZ ball. Sad to watch us play this new style.

I’m a long way from Fab out and it’s highly unlikely it would happen even if we end up on a relegation battle but Jesus am I sick of his post match interviews. Four weeks running he’s said we will learn our lessons and again going back to the f’ing process. Change the record. He didn’t even sound like he believed it himself today.
Your ambition is overwhelming.

Sadly however OTT the 'out' posts are I think they are probably right. We have 24 points despite this bloke, not because of them. The algorithm has broken.
Seems a great bloke but I can't see any other positives of him in charge

I’ve considered it. I’m very disappointed with what I’ve seen. Desperately disappointed. No patterns, no structure, defensively naive. So there, bad fan, but yes I have “considered“ it.

Putting a 31 year old in was a bloody big risk, the main risk being that you don’t know how he’ll react under pressure. Not just match pressure, he would have been under big pressure to put Dunk back in.
Injuries haven’t helped him at all. Not just the RB position but the fact he can’t pick the same 11 week to week. Where was Welbeck today? Where was flipping O’Riley?

We’ll see won’t we. Next couple of games are really important for our progress and belief in the manager. Surely by Saturday we’ll have Veltman, Welbeck and Jack H back and possibly Ferdi.
If we don’t see an improvement over our last 4 games then we are on a real slide and the pressure will build.
