[Albion] In full Bloom: Brighton well set for success with or without De Zerbi

No chance. Bob Paisley
Yes. He was the absolute ultimate billy big bollocks twat.
Eventually rocked up at Forest. He had talent, but he instead chose an easy life with a modest club and an infinite supply of morning water (scotch).
Clough's players were once good, then were crap, then.
Or was it that his drinking got out of hand?

Success, European places, owner spending lots of his own cash and building infrastructure.
Poor old Ed, writing that has gotta hurt!

Clough made them like that (that's not in a good way)!

Quite possibly. Clough was nothing without Taylor. And folk forget how good he was at spending others cash then berating them. How many times did he break the transfer record ?
If he were in his pomp today and there was talk of him coming here I wouldn't be happy.
Oh, we've been there before...

Spuds away really bugged me for some reason a point would of been a decent result, 11 players in the opposition half at 1-1 with minutes to go just reckless.
When it’s basically an ultimatum? If you don’t do X then Y will happen.
Not that I’m suggesting that this is happening here with RDZ and the club, but something can be clear even when it’s a choice to be made rather than one fixed outcome.

The result bugged me, if Fati had put his chance away just before Spurs scored, as he should have done, we’d have been praising RDZ and the tactics. Shit happens when you play De Zerbi ball and hindsight rules when the result swings the way of the opposition.
A win would have been another massive result, as it happens the result was what 90% of football fans thought it would be pre kick off.

So, it was the player, not the tactics?

This argument that RDZ lost all these players has some truth, but also fails to remember that we did replace MacAllister with Pedro (who has scored a lot more than those you mentioned) and we added Adingra and Fati (his choice of player). I also feel strongly that Baleba should have played more even if he wasn't 100% ready. Other players were given the opportunity to play 20 minutes here and 30 minutes there. Without the minutes he isn't going to improve. And the choice to play Steele over Bart against Wolves in the cup and Roma away will be our biggest regret of the season IMO.
I want RDZ to stay and think he's great for Brighton. But he's not an elite manager yet and really shouldn't be believing the hype.

You can’t rely on players taking their chance as a la Welbeck against Brentford. You can plan for a break away from the opposition though.

We lost to Wolves because we didn’t score a goal not because Steel conceded a goal. Had Bart saved that, it would still be 0-0.
