[Albion] Roberto De Zerbi: "Now we don't have high motivation"

[Weststander]

Dunky still gets lots of blocks and headers in but even he is struggling a bit. Can't see him being picked for euros remembering he got slaughtered in his last England game.

He can safely book a month in Florida or Vegas.

My motivation was also low today. Sadly not enough for me to not waste the day going to the match. I have no issue with us losing matches, or playing badly. I have a lot of issue with players not bothering when we have paid to turn up. Not acceptable and the manager is paid to ensure that doesn’t happen.

Teams that end one season badly tend to start the next badly. Problem.

 

[chickens]

How long is a dip allowed to run though? Until end season? Into next and the first what, 10 games? No wins in 20 by then?

I’d say that if we hit the last week of November with no wins then we’re entitled to pull the trigger. Not before though.

Gives our next coach four weeks of acclimatisation before not being backed in the January transfer window.

Am wondering if Kluivert finished off his chances at the end there

Is he not elite enough for Dubai?

 

[heathgate]

Erm I think he would ! 20m is a lot of money. He needs to sit down with RDZ after the man u game and see if he has any fight left. And then come to some kind of agreement if he wants to go. However , I'm sure bloom will not allow him to join anywhere else for at least 6 months as part of that agreement though.

I think decisions need to be made before then,... this downbeat culture cannot be allowed to fester, our reputation is worth more than any potential compensation....

Is it too hot in June?

Most ballers are in Ibiza or mykky during summer. Dubai and Florida hell holes in the summer !

The media sometimes published pictures of Grealish and his mates Maddison/Chilwell, surrounded by gold-diggers, in Dubai. I think during the winter breaks.

He's a centre back. Of course he does. He's been a shadow of his former self which isn't helping our cause

Before I start into this RDZ pile in is there a chance that his English has tripped him up here? Substitute the word motivation with confidence and it reads very differently.

Plus one or two wins (dare to dream!) would mean a few higher league places and quite a few million in prize money. Not convinced anything would happen till after the season though CH style.

No. Partly because I like to give the guy some credit - his spoken English is clearly good even if he occasionally leans on an interpreter to understand the question properly, and partly because he uses the word "confidence" correctly about a minute later in the same interview.

Fair point. I hadn’t considered this.

So 1 win in ten currently; add another 4 no wins until end of season. Then we don’t win until Nov next season, so…what 1 win in 30 before you pull the trigger? Hmmm, very generous!

Everyone's motivation was spot on 143 days ago, vs Marseille at home. Injuries must play a part since then. The Roma away was a massive reality check. RDZ poorly managed that. Since then, it's catch up. Which is constantly changing selections to fit his system, instead of finding a system to fit the players. And I don't apologise for again saying this. But why Fati has not played, or been given an opportunity in the 2nd half of the season, is arrogance on one of their parts. To finish
1 I hope he has another season to push on.
2 The rhodendrom in the garden has fully bloomed splendidly, when I walked out to view this am, despite the unseasonably weather.

Yes. And if we treat defeats on the pitch as wins also it’s an entirely different picture. Breaking news…we’re in the CL next season!

 

[Pliny the Gull]

Apologies.
To clarify. I meant on the last post. RDZ, not Fati. (Stay on)

Didn’t Potter have two ultra long runs of rarely winning football?

When Fati plays, NSC en masse destroys him as a rubbish footballer and physicality bottler.
