[Albion] Fabian Hürzeler **SINGED 15/06/2024**

I thought Adingra had a cracking game today

I will have to disagree with this. No end product and should have had the hook earlier than he did . IMO

His tracking back and lack of tackling is shocking compared to others.

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

I thought Adingra had a cracking game today

Yeah, me too, I thought most of our good stuff in the first half went through him. I sense a little bit of an agenda from some who are very quick to criticise, perhaps because he is not at Mitomas level, perhaps because his defending is not the best, perhaps because they need something spectacular now and again, but for me he's always looking to make something happen in attack, still a lot of raw potential there and I like him.

 

[Zeberdi]

I wonder where the Hürzeler Out Campaign (HOC) goes now?

Just imagine them time warping back to the Amex 11 years ago and trying to convince those angry fans walking out of another Hyypiä shit show that they are a 'passionate' fan from the future and have been campaigning for most of the season to get our manager out, the manager who beat Man Utd, Spurs, Man City, Liverpool and Chelsea at home?

They'd be shown up for the precious, emotional, reactionary lunatics that they are! What a game!

Hopefully that's the end of this absurd bunch but you just know that we're only a draw away with a bottom 10 to them rearing their loud but reckless heads again.

TBH, if we drop points against Spurs next week after beating Liverpool 3-2, I’d be hard pushed to find it in myself to play wack-a-mole with HOCs

@Justice won't give in that easily!

Thought it was Adingra's best game for a long time. Not a great fan of his as he showed a lot of promise and than had a great African Cup of Nation but he's down the pecking order now. But he did as much as could be expected today.

Tbf, it’s probably mostly this.

However, 3 or 4 seasons ago, we’d be singing his praises no question but we move on - the overall level of our squad is that much higher (despite some shocking performances this season)

IMO He just is not in the same league as Mitoma, Baleba, Minteh, Welbeck or Rutter to name a few - he could be so much better (probably)

 

[Springal]

Win at Spurs and he’s only 1 point behind the season RDZ got us Europe…

As Hürzeler said of Howell after the match, paraphrasing the great Matt Busby:

”I always give young players the chance because it's not about your age if you're good enough and that is the reason Harry Howell got an opportunity and he did great, he came into the game and made an impact."

I think it’s fair to say the same of Hürzeler.

 

[Bold Seagull]

@Justice won't give in that easily!

Not seen a positive post about the Albion following either of the last two wins. Very odd. Probably still wants him sacked.

 

[TottonSeagull]

I really hope you are.

what a sad individual you are trawling through posts from April. Get a life fella!

Yours was literally the last one before the bounced message you brainless fool.

Are you 15? Strangely immature!!

I do apologise for that remark. That was immature and I genuinely have no idea why I thought that was appropriate.

As FH alluded to in his chat with messrs McGhee and Adams - he cited Adingra as being so young and talented with room to grow.

But more importantly two places.

Just shows easier season for RDZ then

Not really. The top 6 were better than this year.
The bottom 3 were better. The bit in between has marginally improved this year.
But Spurs Utd, West Ham significantly weaker now

For all the praise deservedly heaped on RDZ from the moment he arrived to post Roma, I’m 100% behind Simon Jordan’s comment that he became “poisonous”, which to me definitely sours his legacy.

I took a long time to warm to FH due to some of the chaos he brought earlier in the season but I love the way he admits he is learning and it’s now bearing fruit. The fact that I have not heard a single complaint about injuries or not being backed is highly impressive, it would have been an easy thing to fall back on in a few periods this season where it almost turned toxic.

Trust the process

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Trust the process

He even said in a recent interview that “I know I keep saying trust the process, but…….”
Learning from that as well.

i think Jordan was OTT but arguably not far off, my quote was more about the points comparison instead of league position, certainly wasn’t an RdZ vs FH thing….

League position is ultimately all that matters.
Couldn’t even tell you our points last season….
