[Albion] Roberto De Zerbi - JOINS AS NEW HEAD COACH (4 year contract)

[medwayseagull reborn]

He has his work cut out now we looked abysmal when missing the two midfield generals last season.

As somebody else has pointed out, particularly noticeable against Wolves at home.

As somebody else has pointed out, particularly noticeable against Wolves at home.

And in the 3.0 win away to Arsenal, Gilmour and Gross were the two centre midfielders.

Because of Mac Allister’s desire to play further forward after the World Cup and Caicedo needing to cover at right back, we actually rarely played with the two of them together in the pivot in the second half of the season.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Would be interested to see our results without them on the pitch. They were both out for the arsenal home game where we got destroyed I seem to remember

Gonna be hard to play de zerbi ball without caicedo. We desperately need a replacement.

He missed two games in January amidst the Arsenal interest. We won both of them,

Why did Liverpool want them then

We're gonna win the league

Why did Liverpool want them then

Because they’re both top quality players, I never said they’re not. Just pointing out it’s not necessarily the end of the world that they’ve gone/going.

I think the only PL game with neither was Arsenal at home., rather a small sample.

Love RDZ telling the interviewer to shut up asking questions about Caicedo.

Love RDZ telling the interviewer to shut up asking questions about Caicedo.

I love RDZ so much. Enjoying every minute of him being here. I really hope when he does eventually go on to manage the biggest clubs in the world he goes in the right way, with a massive ovation from the Albion fans and legend status.

But for now, I am just loving every minute.

If we were to get top 4 next season would players still be quick to leave once they’d proved their worth.

What a gem we have found. Let's cherish him.

For once the first page of this thread isn’t full of egg on face comments - well done NSC

He’s ok this Roberto…

Why did Liverpool want them then

There is a big difference between other clubs wanting our players and our ability to cope without them.

We have and we can.

At that point it would all boil down to money.

 

[John Byrnes Mullet]

He's the best since Chris Cattlin.
We need at least 3 more players to have any hope of a top 4 spot. We play Di Zerbi ball and it's intense and I am not sure of the stats if we get more injuries than average.
Never seen such belief and encouragement for the team since we had Chris Cattlin and Liam Brady.
Roberto will always be in hearts and let's hope it's for at least another season.

That’s a very, very good piece. RDZ - stay for 3-5 years or so then go abroad with dignity - I think he will and I think he will go down as our greatest manager of al time… ALL TIME!

It really was. Mark, Dougie and Michael very well researched and complimentary.

I won't lie I got a bit worried seeing this thread at the top.

 

[East Staffs Gull]

Have they got the maths wrong on their selected transfers table?
