[Albion] De Zerbi: 'We deserved to lose...I understood the problem in January!"

All aboard the Gus bus express to ceiling town.
The problem is RdZ has a terrible eye for transfers. Both Dahoud and Fati have flopped badly, and they were his signings.

My love for RDZ has waned a fair bit lately I must admit. You can't account for the amount of injuries we've got, and no-one - not even the big clubs - did any business in January. I fail to believe thatt the club didn't do everything they could to try to bring in new blood in Jan. Really don't like the way he tries to blame the clubs policy - done it quite a few times now.
His signings haven't exactly set the Prem alight either - funny how he doesn't mention that

Our squad even with injuries is better than the teams that are drawing/beating us for the most part. He can talk about transfer policy all he wants but it's on him to fix this. We've been terrible for months in front of goal and every game recently is the same, watching us keep the ball and move it slowly and trying to pass it in.
If by “I understood the problem in January” he means he’s got one way of playing that everyone has figured out plus he insists on picking a hologram as goalkeeper, then yes, we understand it too.
Ego has gone through the roof. Very very disrespectful at this point. But many on here predicted this scenario and said RDZ would lose it eventually and start lashing out.
Need to beat Rome now over 2 legs or god knows what will happen.
I was impressed by Luton's intensity this evening. OK they lost, and are not in Europe, and are going to be relegated, but....
Er, hang on. Something, something....
No idea. Nobody has.

I can't help thinking an unlikely win on Thursday, will be solely down to RDZ tactical brilliance.

In reality we can't play his system without March and Mitoma. He wasn't backed and now we can't score. Such a shit way for it to go south but to be expected with a fiery manager and a board who always think they know best.
Expect another dullard like Potter back next

i dont know what the issues are but the team clearly doesnt click as well as it did before. blaming transfers cant be it when we still have 70-odd possession and cant score, with the same forwards and tactics. maybe that's the problem, too predictable and easy for the opposition to counter.

I don’t always agree with you Dwayne, but on this occasion I do.
He should stop making excuses and get on with things.

Unfortunately injured players still require wages so bringing in half a dozen top players at eye watering wages is not possible on our finances.
There's no way anyone could have predicted that Solly, Jack H and Mitoma would have season ending injuries or the other injuries we've got.
De Zerbi is one of the best managers in football today and his ambition is to have the best. I think unfortunately he has outgrown our limiting factors which frustrates him and puts him at odds with TBMBE and PBOBE.
New manager in the summer. No doubts in my mind.

Wouldn’t surprise me if the current Luton Manager was in our dugout next season
Possibly another one who thinks he’s bigger than our club

Definitely sounds hacked off with not being backed in January.
It's definitely true. Its really only CM where we might be a bit light, but with Moder back we still have 4 CM's - and that doesnt include Hinshelwood playing there. No one can argue that with a club our size he hasn't been 'backed'.
If you have a lot of injuries you can't just keep stockpiling players and risking the future. Most of our young players are coveted all over the world, we spent 20 million on a new keeper after he bombed out sanchez and broke our transfer record on a new goalscorer after Trossard left, Adingra and Barco are the next cabs off the rank and the club has brought through Hinshelwood and club plocy has brought in about 300 million over the last few seasons to keep us in good shape.
Meanwhile he recommended a total space cadet and a lightweight high cost fanny from Barca who have both bombed.
Hes a cheeky bastard with this one.

Possibly the fact we've had about 500 injuries this season might be a factor in the starting 11 not clicking!?
