Great content on this thread guys thanks. Sounds like a decent succession on RDZ tactics, lots of build-up intricacy and transition based approach. With a nice added element of improve set plays. I like that there is flexibility and adaptability to the system too, something that is needed in the...
love RDZ but as others have said, I expect more of this to slowly come out.
The one that REALLY sticks to my mind is the bizarre Lallana interview after the Fulham defeat. That was also the start of our downfall last season. It’s easy to assume that he went too far that day and lost the...
Why are some people calling him an American coach? He was only in the states until he was 2 father is German mother is Swiss, lived in Germany for the rest of his life
Roberto De Zerbi could be a good shout.
Did well in his first season of English football, would suit our players, currently unemployed, has connection to Brighton due to prior employment but unlike Potter most fans would welcome him back.
Yes Please!
Struggle to see how any manager outside of Europe is too big for us. Premier League football, tons of young talent in our squad to mold, uniquely well run by owners, top class facilities, money in the bank to spend, etc etc. Is that just my blue and white tinted glasses?
I'm not talking about the bigger picture or about Hurzeler in particular. Of course the whole tactic can be different with style similarities, I'm only making a point about one element you drew similarities to RDZs tactics that I think has lost its potency in the EPL.
I'm saying the genius of...
I think the “invite the press” /sole on the ball, De Zerbi trick was worked out and lost its effectiveness pretty quickly.
The main issue is when you play against opposition who are happy to sit back and counter - a style we notoriously did very bad against - they don’t mind you fannying about...
You are onto the right thing here, but for me its not about delivery its to do with the wide threat + teams figuring out RDZ more.
The main culprit is the lack of space which Ferguson (and most strikers) thrives in. The greater the threat of our wide players the more opposition defenses need to...
Not signing him wasn't based on the board "not getting it over the line". Deal was agreed, the player and/or agent apparently didn't want to sign on the dotted line incase a better offer/club came in. Brighton were right to not be mucked about, I don't care if he goes on to do well, fails the no...
Its because they look beautiful on TV due to the angle. Crossfield balls can work amazingly to get out of pressure and/or switch play, especially if out to a player in space. But in Facundos case they are too floated (spend too much time in the air) and not in front of the player enough. No...
