That’s insanely amazing.
With the xG this time actually leading to goals.
Agreed - in fact I said exactly that having checked out his work in Ukraine and Italy when he signed with us back in September - I’m sure I said words back then to the effect that RDZ is on the cutting edge of changes in modern football and people have no idea just who we have as a manager - in Italy they were saying it years ago when he was at Sassuolo:We are watching a footballing revolution in real time being led by our little old club.
There are very few bloody teams/clubs on this planet that offer the short term potential of OUR CLUB. That’s what’s so frustrating when every Twatterati expert and every top 6 follower constantly talks about player/coach departures. Go to City or Madrid; f*** off for money - but if you want to play and potentially win - stay with Brighton.Agreed - in fact I said exactly that having checked out his work in Ukraine and Italy when he signed with us back in September - I’m sure I said words back then to the effect that RDZ is on the cutting edge of changes in modern football and people have no idea just who we have as a manager - in Italy they were saying it years ago when he was at Sassuolo:
This article is an enlightening insight into what RDZ has been developing at Brighton

FWIW - Italian clubs even top Serie A clubs dont offer the wealth that’s in the PL, the level of football or the prestige) - La Liga or even the Bundesliga are above Serie A both competitively on the pitch and financially. RDZ‘s capacity for managerial greatness will only be limited by the players he has at his disposal - he’s a gift to English PL football there’s no doubt about it but I don’t think he will be going back to Italy any time soon if he has any ambition in the next few years of his career.
In addition, players (alleged) “fears” don’t amount to much.What a weird article. The first two paragraphs follow the thread of the headline, the next fifteen talk about how RDZ wants to take a more active role in recruitment this summer. Those two bits of insider knowledge don't seem to interact with each other...
He's leaving but he also wants to be more heavily involved in squad building for next season apparently.
Reliable source, but another reliable one says he’s excited for next season
Tony knew this all along…hence his massive grin throughout the initial press conference.Agreed - in fact I said exactly that having checked out his work in Ukraine and Italy when he signed with us back in September - I’m sure I said words back then to the effect that RDZ is on the cutting edge of changes in modern football and people have no idea just who we have as a manager - in Italy they were saying it years ago when he was at Sassuolo:

Of course he did which is why we shouldn’t be loosing our chicken lickin heads every time some nonce retweets rumours or bounces unsubstantiated media rag stories about key players and managers leaving the Club. By the time it happens TB already will have replacements a phone call away. Until then let’s just enjoy the rideTony knew this all along…hence his massive grin throughout the initial press conference.

Precisely. Welcome to the upper stratosphere of football, where every chip wrapper needs to have hot news about a top club on it, as it hurtles into the chip wrapper bin..Of course he did which is why we shouldn’t be loosing our chicken lickin heads every time some nonce retweets rumours or bounces unsubstantiated media rag stories about key players and managers leaving the Club.

Some guaranteed handballs coming up there…
How is that funny?RDZ getting a few mentions on Redcafe Ten Hag threads tonight
How is that funny?
Well said. Manager and team in having off day shock. It happens. I'm struggling to get too down about it.That result tonight has been coming. Not because RDZ is suddenly a bad coach or the players are not good enough, out of the blue shock results and performances like that happen every now and again when you are such a system based team.
Anyone who has read a lot about Guardiola and other similar system reliant managers knows these results happen now and again, you have to accept it and know they are worth the greater good.
The writer and journalist, Jonathan Wilson, who has studied Pep extensively explains it better than I but when you have a team who are totally reliant and bought into such a strong tactic coached by their manager, every now and again they have a day when things don’t go right or the other team surprises them. Their plan A doesn’t work at all, their shellshocked and they don’t know how to deal with it as well as a team who are more reliant on individual players and personality rather than a team system. Guardiola has had many games like this in his long career.
As I say, it’s frustrating but today shouldn’t come as a surprise and we’ve got a brilliant manager and group of players who I’m sure will bounce back playing the great football we’re used to.
