[Albion] Just how good is Hürzeler?

[Greg Bobkin]

How much of that '£200m' started the game today?

Turns out it was £40m, then. And the players that make up the balance of that rounded up/estimated figure have only featured sporadically, or are out on loan!

Top 3 gets an A, like I said he has had some massive support, A is Excellent after all, not many individuals are in that category, he has time on his side to aspire to that, if we win the title, he gets a big fat A+ and the feel of Ronnie's tongue, wherever he would like it.

Stop digging

RDZ had a A almost an A+ from me, with Europe and his budget.

So RDZ got top 3?

I think you need to accept you've got your grades a bit mixed up.

 

[Triggaaar]

An incredible start. We have won half of our games! We have played all the sides with a positive goal difference including the "top 6" and the current teams ranked 1 to 7. I don't think anyone has had a tougher set of fixtures than us so far.

I agree, except Wolves have also had a tough start

He's no arse licker that's for sure,loved the way he put national treasure Gary back in his box on MOTD.

More likeable than De Zerbi? That's some statement. I still miss him and I know there are many that share my view

De Zerbi is an “impact” manager. His best seasons with any club will be early in his tenure. He could potentially have poisoned the atmosphere around the club should his contract have been extended.

I thank him for his service, but I wouldn’t want him back here under any circumstances. It becomes all about him, he encourages that. I see De Zerbi as highly charismatic, but not in the slightest bit likeable. Hürzeler all the way for me.

Bloody hell, tough marker.

Although they have only played four of the "top 6" so far. They do have several games coming up against sides very close to them in the table so these will be pressured due to their current league position.

I still think ours has been "trickier" so far, suggesting our next 7 to the midway point will be "easier" than any other side. If we perform as we have done then Christmas will be a very happy time

 

[GoldstoneVintage]

Bloody hell, tough marker.

Perhaps we should bring this into the post 2015 GCSE marking environment so all those youngsters know what's going on. On that basis, his 'working at' grade is an 8 but I'm predicting him a 9.

And Italian coaches get higher grades for the same success?

This is what happens when you let some people loose with crayons …

 

[BrickTamland]

This isn’t about FH per se, more of us as a club but it’s mental that we are a third into the season, not just a couple of games and we are joint 3rd for points and it’s not even seen as a big deal. Not internally (look at the response on this thread) and not really externally (we’ve had hardly any plaudits compared to Forest’s start).

Such a sign of how far we’ve come.

As for heading FH - it has to be A or A+

 

[METALMICKY]

Love him but just one little request. Please stop going on about the " process ". It's obviously working but it's awfully Ten Hag lingo.

loved the answer to the -after 12 games you have a bigger points haul than brighton have ever had-are you surprised_ comment- a simple straightforward NO. I think Gary was a bit surprised
I also loved the reply to Champions league?- no stay humble, game by game

what a great way to say -we're good, we know we are good, but we arent getting too big for our boots.

 

[dwayne]

Love him. Very clever and pragmatic bloke. Needs to stop talking about trusting the process though, thats lame arteta shiz.

Watch the NSC hivemind turn on him instantly if we drop points against Southampton

 

[sussex_guy2k2]

He’s growing on me. I was really worried about him tactically over the first few games, as we seemed to pick up points almost by luck at times, but he’s clearly adapting to the needs of the league and showing an ability to adapt in game.

Yes, he’s got the best squad we’ve ever had and he’s had a ton of luck (not that that’s a bad thing), but he’s making the most of it so far.

I've already typed up my angry critique. I've only had to change it slightly from the one I prepared for the City/Bournemouth games.

 

[Triggaaar]

I don't think he has. You can look at yesterday and think we were lucky to get the win, but we had an important player incorrectly sent off. Without the poor refereeing, we win more comfortably. We also should have beaten Forrest at home, but they were given a dodgy penalty against us.
