3 - lost MOJO in Rome. Due to other commitments would not have attended many other games but decided to call it quits anyway and not regretted.
Form has been dire in second half of season; we are 15th in H2 League with 18 points, only 5 more than Burnley and 13 fewer (18 vs. 31) than Palace...
Bayern want him according to Times; story was going to leak so they preempted:
"Roberto De Zerbi will leave Brighton & Hove Albion after their game with Manchester United and is in talks with Bayern Munich to become their new head coach."
Agreed. I haven't been since going to Rome, partly because of other commitments, partly because season was over then, and partly because that night said a lot about RDZ. I won't forget PG waving cursorily to away fans, removing his shirt and stomping to dressing room without any teammates. He...
Difficult to pinpoint exactly but IMO the decline started with 4-0 at Luton, and was set in with 4-0 at Rome. RDZ's actual and body language worsened (and there were plenty of signs beforehand) and it felt inevitable unless a) a better offer didn't materialise; b) RDZ bought into the TB way...
That is the 'know our place in the food chain' argument and effectively implies we can only be the jackal that darts in and out of the kill rather than the lions and hyenas who gorge. Nothing wrong with that but if TB is serious about there being no ceiling I cant see how he can avoid splashing...
I have wondered why this system isnt used. It adds a bit of spice. But calls could be used for offside (and almost certainly would be) when goal is scored and then we are in toenail territory again, so not sure it solves that problem. Also difficult with confusion as to whether captain takes...
You have a point and there were signs towards the end that he might make it (bar the horrid scuff against Man U that could have earned him sainthood) but somehow there was just something not right; rumour is it was personal more than football and there aint much anyone could do about it.
Well he wasn't the best finisher; 5 in 22 appearances is 1 in 4.4 games; Muzza was 34 in 115, one in 3.4. And, without being excessively anal, I suspect DU made proportionately more appearances in non PL matches than Muzza when he might have had the chance to improve his ratio.
I recall seeing...
