[Albion] “De Zerbi is the first leader of football's next tactical revolution”

[Thunder Bolt]

Whilst it's not as simple as Potter's 5th man at the back is in De Zerbi's attack. He picked up a squad that Potter had moulded for pressing, possession and passing football. De Zerbi then sped it up. I loved the way Potter used pressing and triangles to make the opposition look shit, it would get their fans on their backs and make pundits focus on their poor play and not our class. But De Zerbi has made the transition to attack from the back so fast that no one notices the opposition were even there.

It’s almost as if Tony Bloom had a plan for progression.

Interesting post. Is your claim here widely accepted?

It is by me. Makes total sense.

For sides aiming to win.

If Potter hadn’t laid the foundations and changed the way we play over two years RDZ would 100% not be having the success we are now, that is why I think it’s harsh to suggest how we play now diminishes Potter’s achievements

It’s a brilliant progression of Potterball but without the players being so comfortable on the ball it would have taken quite a while for RDZ to have us playing like we are.

If RDZ thought he was inheriting (to paraphrase a great aphorism of my late dad) poop rather than clay, he wouldn't have come here.

Panache is a great word to describe how we play @Barnet Seagull thank you.

There's another report suggesting Accrington Stanley are looking to following in the footsteps of genial Uncle Roy from up the road.

Liverpool must be getting heartily SICK of getting monstered by DeZerbiball
