[Albion] Who the f*ck is Fabian Hurzeler?
- Thread starter Han Solo
- Start date
There were a couple of nsc threads on the subject in the summer. With youtube St Pauli videos.
Meant to be secure at the back in numbers when out of possession, the two CM’ers the lynchpin, joined by a mobile ball-playing CB in rapid attacks. Oppositions torn to shreds as threats came at them from all angles.
That was youtube. The reality, some impressive 45 minutes eg Spurs second half, mixed with dopey/inept/chaotic stuff such as Stains second half.
Incredibly hard for our squad to maintain those glimpses of a high level for entire games. Need to find a way to make us hard to score against when we’re not in the ascendancy.

Hűrzeler gets yellow cards for nothing. Meanwhile the black-clad, Spanish goblin spends every match running up and down the touchline, even obstructing players, and is, seemingly, invisible to the officials.

The lad is a very shy Chelsea fan in a wheelchair. Life has been tough on him. I don't normally like talking about football on parties because it frightens the women and upsets the musicians, but for him I always make exceptions.
No they don't unless you've had conversations about manager personalities with them in the past.

Do you seriously think we are going to believe you got invited to a party?

You do get the feeling that FH cultivates being given cards and being sent to the stands because that's what he thinks big boys should do. Just seems a bit unconvincing and out of character

But he seems to get them for (virtually) nothing.

Like wearing an offensive haircut in a built-up area you mean?
Come on.
@Han Solo is asking what Fab's phenotype as a manager is.
Not whether he likes opera and dressing up in ladies underwear.

Yeah I saw some of the videos and they were all "wow, they don't have any midfield!"
It turned out to be true but I'd like to hear the rest of the story... ok, they had no midfield, AND THEN WHAT?
But I understand Hurz the manager better than Hurz the person. Slightly. I don't even know the basics of the Hurz persona.
To compare:
I know Roberto De Zerbi comes from a middle class family in an industrial town, where he learnt that through hard work you can say you're better than everyone else because your money and more glory than your neighbour. In Mompiano he was shaped by the Italian sun and the backdrop of the climbable unclimbable mountains. He's a cocky confident wanker who likes a challenge. I get it. I even get why people like or don't like it.
Graham Potter? Carved out of greystone in some Birmingham working class ghetto. Shy quiet lad who felt mistreated by the British football establishment. He hated the primitive football he was asked to play in the 90s, hated how the managers made the players feel and hated that he couldn't handle it and let his very promising career get away. He's now on a quest to show that you can be a kind humble man, play attacking possession football and still have success and make sure young talents don't end up like him.
Those are the cores things about these men. Its the outline of them and their motivations. You can say its a typical number 10 and a typical left back.
Hurz? I haven't got a clue. If I saw him in the streets I'd think he was a youtuber or yuppie or something.
Indeed, there were only two girls and one cup, apparently.

Yeah, but Robert Fripp is an oddball hermit type ‘scientist’ guitarist… all technique and contrived composition, trying really (too?) hard to stretch boundaries … or discover some kind of musical equation… sadly lost on someone who just likes a f***ing RIFF.
You know, maybe you’ve got a point… it started well in the court of the former crimson king… I guess this is our starless period … bleak jazzy directionless jamming with no obvious beginning or end…

Have you seen his disciplinary record as a player? The Beast of Bogenhausen. The Butcher of Bayern. The Psycho of Pipensreid. The Hatchetman of Hoffenheim.

I dig this RIFF from the Starless period.
I bet Hurzeler would give his left bollock to get his
