    [Albion] De Zerbi: 'We deserved to lose...I understood the problem in January!"

    I can't understand why people - apparently including De Zerbi - can't get their head round why that might be. We truly have been spoilt if we genuinely think we can pull a rabbit out of a hat, turn water into wine and feed the 5000 every single time. The only way we'll be able to replace...

    [Albion] De Zerbi: 'We deserved to lose...I understood the problem in January!"

    Alan Pardew and Phil Brown's belt holstered Nokias have just gone off.

    Or at the very least have the balanced long term health of the club at heart rather than individual egos.

    [Albion] De Zerbi: 'We deserved to lose...I understood the problem in January!"

    A good manager, that has a set of resources that he can't currebtly change but needs to rely on to get results will support, manage and encourage, and keep his counsel until such time as those resources can be changed. A thin skinned manager worried about his reputation will undermine his...

    [Albion] De Zerbi: 'We deserved to lose...I understood the problem in January!"

    I think the insinuation that it was De Zerbi led were his glowing comments about Fati at the time, reflections on the first time he'd seen him and what a fan he was, where he envisaged him fitting in and taking us to the next level etc. Same with Dahoud really. As opposed to other purchases by...

    [Albion] De Zerbi: 'We deserved to lose...I understood the problem in January!"

    It depends what both you and he expected them to be replaced by I suppose. And under what system and set of expectations brought the coveted world class players that were sold, to Brighton in the first place.

    [Albion] De Zerbi: 'We deserved to lose...I understood the problem in January!"

    I really want to work out a double entendre featuring the names of a famous old German striker and a current argentinian superstar now.

    [Albion] De Zerbi: 'We deserved to lose...I understood the problem in January!"

    He does obviously think that. The broader question is - is it actually, within reason, true? Everyone can come up with their own conclusion really can't they,but there is no dictionary definition of being backed. Although a synonym might be 'sounds better than it being my fault, for future...

    [Albion] De Zerbi: 'We deserved to lose...I understood the problem in January!"

    I'll definitely be getting both mullered and Messy in Rome.

    [Albion] De Zerbi: 'We deserved to lose...I understood the problem in January!"

    Another way of looking at it was that WBG came through to replace one of those players, we already had Gross and Baleba was brought in as a promising youngster, and Milner in as a steady old head,with Dahoud a key addition and with Moder on his way back. You literally can't like for like...

    [Albion] De Zerbi: 'We deserved to lose...I understood the problem in January!"

    He might turn out to be great but my born in the 70s prejudices mean I'll never be able to see past an invasive neck tattoo.

    [Albion] De Zerbi: 'We deserved to lose...I understood the problem in January!"

    "Now we can’t change anything. We have to move on to play better, to fight better, to play with different energy." Way to move on about a thing that can't be changed, guy. I hope your audience on Merseyside and Catalonia were listening.

    [Albion] De Zerbi: 'We deserved to lose...I understood the problem in January!"

    It's definitely true. Its really only CM where we might be a bit light, but with Moder back we still have 4 CM's - and that doesnt include Hinshelwood playing there. No one can argue that with a club our size he hasn't been 'backed'. If you have a lot of injuries you can't just keep...

    [Albion] De Zerbi: 'We deserved to lose...I understood the problem in January!"

    Did he understand the problem when he asked for Dahoud and Fati?

    I never wear jeans. Theyre horrible. Like a punishment.

    [Albion] Fulham vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

    If I REALLY wanted to go I might have played that card. But mixed with me having no previous purchasing history and what was no doubt a very brief browse of my Facebook I reckon they knew they were on solid ground. I was relieved to be honest. Imagine paying 60 quid for that shìt.

    [Albion] I think he's leaving this summer...

    Its interesting, this idea of complacency. That he's somehow jaded because he's been there and done that and Tony and Paul are annoyed with his manner. I'm not sure about it. There's an argument to say this is by some distance the the best opportunity he's ever had. With a really stable club...

    [Albion] Fulham vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

    Fulham administration have massively gone up in my estimation. They spotted my BN postcode buying tickets in the home end and cancelled my ticket and refunded the money, so I can use it in Rome. I owe them a huge solid for helping me help myself.
