[Albion] Is Hurzeler out of his depth?

[Ailema]

I think we had the wool pulled over our eyes for the first few games. Is he Hyypia number two?

 

[Alex BH]

Oh come on, we’ve not been convincing at all and I don’t really understand the new tactics, but we’re still picking up some points and it’s early days.

 

[Mustafa II]

Hyypia mark 2, no. He's already done enough to demonstrate he is not that bad.

Is he out of his depth? Quite likely. He has barely any management experience, particularly in the Premier League.

The big question is how quickly can he improve to the standard required, but more importantly, as is normally the case, how long will the fans (and board) remain patient.

 

[lizard]

Mildly concerned his tactics may not fit the pace of the Prem.

 

[MTSeagulls]

I can't see the fans being patient for much longer watching teams have constant one on ones against us.
He looks out of his depth and needs help.

 

[sagaman]

He needs to set the team up better

 

[Justice]

He really had to put his marker down against Ipswich IMO. They are pony and could have beat us with more luck.

20 posts since Oct 22 and all but one of them are negative.
I smell palace.

 

[Frutos]

No.

Hurzeler - genius.

Never in doubt.

@OP NO

Is it possible to put bed wetters in a sin bin ?

Their own special threads for a while? Maybe a 'Mothercare' sub forum

 

[Winker]

No, he isn't.

 

[A1X]

In all seriousness, hopefully this is the moment he comes of age

There is one, it's called the 'ignore user' function

 

[Alex BH]

Tactical masterclass from Fab today. First half we sit off them, conserve our energy and tire them out. Second half with our energy conserved we catch them off guard, all complacent, all Spurs then bam we high press them 3-2.

Fortunately he had his armbands on and managed to get back to the shallow end.

I think a Mothercare sub-forum would be more suitable for people who haven't grown out of calling other people bed wetters if they don't conform to their particular blue-and-white tinted slant.
The last three or four games have seen some genuine causes for concern - the first half today definitely did! The second half was smashing - but was it the turning of the tide, or was it a false dawn or a fortuitous papering over of the cracks? None of us know, unless we're Nostrodamus, Mother Shipton or called Petulengro - so that's definitely none of us then!
We won't win every match with a thrilling second half performance like today and we'll certainly have runs where everything doesn't go to plan. In which case, we'll discuss them, and probably all have an opinion on what we think is going wrong, hopefully without stereotyping or name calling. Thank you.

(I note, with pleasure, that the objectionable term 'licker' has been all but banished from these boards)

 

[Weststander]

I watched our defending second when they won the ball deep in their half.

As well us having the much discussed battlers disrupters slowing their counters, we left pacy players such as Estupinan and Baleba back to cover their running in behind.

Worked a treat. A must from now on.

 

[Munchkin]

Brilliant result but if we are being totally honest it does paper over the cracks slightly.

First half we were totally over ran and didn’t adapt to deal with it, you have to also question some of the changes, Baleba coming off in particular was a strange one and seemed to allow Spurs into it for the last 15 mins.

Very much early days, but would be foolish to allow a fantastic 45 mins to not allow us to question some of the flaws in the Chelsea performance and first 45 mins this afternoon.

I hope he can adapt and we can adapt accordingly, not very often will you go 2-0 down and still win the game.
