[Albion] Are YOU falling out of love with Roberto De Zerbi?

[Flounce]

Yes, recently he's been a mardy old git.

Cheer up Rob.

What a great Northern expression!

 

[Bozza]

What a great Northern expression!

Well, now then, mardy bum
I've seen your frown
And it's like looking down the barrel of a gun
And it goes off
And out come all these words
Oh, there's a very pleasant side to you
A side I much prefer

 

[Peacehaven Wild Kids]

Love him and want him to stay

 

[Flounce]

I've seen your frown
And it's like looking down the barrel of a gun
And it goes off
And out come all these words
Oh, there's a very pleasant side to you

I rest my case

 

[Somethingdean]

I would like him to stay. I think this summer will be a big one for the albion. Could be a lot of bargains to be had and can't see too many crazy offers coming our way.

 

[London Irish]

There’s no denying the fact that in interviews now he appears subdued even slightly morose. I’m gutted by this as like the vast majority of fans I absolutely love the man but I think his heads turned and he will be leaving at the end of the season.

We are not winning many games at the moment, wouldn't it be slightly odd if he was upbeat

 

[London Irish]

Nope. I'm pissed off we haven't got a good enough squad for him, but hopeful that Bloom will address that in the summer if he stays.

Me too. Managers can't win games all by themselves, sadly

 

[Sid and the Sharknados]

What a great Northern expression!

East Midlands.

Unless you want to play the "the North starts at Lewes/Piddinghoe/East Grinstead game.

 

[tedebear]

Love our flag too:

 

[Sussexscots]

Like De Zerbi. I hope he stays. I like the fact that he's passionate rather than bland and anodyne. He perhaps needs to consider how his words will be received given the press propensity to create a ludicrous hue and cry about any remark. But he'll learn and wouldn't want him to change that much of his 'DNA'.

Love though? No. Reserve that for Bloom who's here for the long haul, what he's done for the Albion and put us in a position where we're all a little frustrated by the way the season is finishing.

De Zerbi's only been here two seasons. Good ones but the fact is , he'll do what's right for him. That is the way of the world and that's fine.

 

[Commander]

I am falling out of love, but it’s nothing that can’t be solved if he sorts himself out.

 

[WATFORD zero]

This and I can't see too many crazy offers coming Roberto's way either. I suspect that, just like us, he's frustrated that what looked so good at the beginning of the season has fizzled out.

If I got to choose a team to sort it out this summer ready for next season, I'd choose TBMBE, PBOBE and RDZ

 

[Exilegull]

Been bit of a rollercoaster for me. Didnt like him at first solely because I have a problem with men in their 40s who shove grease in their hair to look like I did in 3rd grade. I´d even rather have a baldie. Maybe not a redhead there needs to be some reason. But then I was engulfed in the football and fell in love with Roberto like everyone else.
Petty disputes with key players, saying "were not Barca or Real Madrid" when losing against Charlton saying our players deserve better clubs and then moaning endlessly about selling them, not really winning any games or scoring any goals or seeing much improvement of any kind just slowly getting worse each month for about a year now only exception the start of this season. What is there to love really

 

[MattBackHome]

Metaphorically, he still completes me.

 

[The Albion Roar]

Still the man.

His highly probable - bordering on definite - third (second full) season here will be his best.

His so-called 'whining' is irrelevant - merely the universal cry of managers insisting their club seeks to match and fund their ambitions. Most of it is lost in translation anyway.

This!

3rd Grade?

I thought you were British?

 

[Dick Head]

I was never in love in the first place but he's growing on me.

 

[Justice]

Love the way everyone piles in on the manager when we aren’t winning and I would have backed Potter here to, you can’t keep selling your best players not replacing them and expect the same results.
As Steve Bruce said this morning Pep told him any coach is only as good as the players you have there is no miracle formula.

 

[Guinness Boy]

This.

Let him down this season. Squad overhaul needed. Lallana, Milner, Steele, Lamptey gone. CM strengthened. Back up wingers (one of each) and new right back / RWB.

We'll get back into Europe with that IMO.
