This is why I would not classify us as a top ten side yet, and I doubt the club do either. A few top ten finishes in a row does not make us that, it needs to be sustained over maybe a decade.
Yeah I agree. I find it bizarre that RDZ is held to almost godlike status by some and then Hurzeler is demanded to be sacked by them even though the records are almost identical (could argue Hurzeler did better even).
Why is that?
People need to stop trying to make one better than the other. They have both proven to be very equal in their ability and results.
Give them both credit.
I would not belittle his 6th place at all. It was a fantastic season and RDZ was great that year. I think he has been placed on a pedestal too much by people though. Hurzeler has the opposite problem. In reality they have had similar results under different circumstances. Both should be equally...
It really wasn't unless you expect us to be performing like a title contender every week. We were calm, controlled and were not under any pressure. We dictated the pace as well. The one thing we lacked, which we were better at after half time, was a cutting edge in the final third. That was all...
You have a bizarrely high bar for what you describe as good.
Ignoring a penalty against the run of play, they had one good chance and we had one from Wiefer, Adingra and Hinshelwood from a corner.
Yeah, pretty poor that.
Again, it's not about comparing, it's about giving some credit to Hurzeler for what he did this season. It is, at the very least, on par with the season we qualified for the Europa League. People need to admit that.
It is not about shitting on RDZ in the slightest. It is about having some respect for the current manager who has done as well as, if not, even better.
