It is. Whilst I think he has weaknesses/blind spot, he’s been brilliant for us. I loved the passion for the first season and a half, and wish him nothing but every success in the future. I respected Potter for what he did, in changing style, but personality wise was never that bothered, and...

Yes, but they don’t know their arse from their elbow 😂😂

See I like Webbo, and he’s been great in the last two games. He’ll need to lead tomorrow in Dunk’s absence. Good cover. Igor just does not play close enough to whoever his CB colleague is, which leaves a space for opposing players.

Think I liked your idea of a stronger midfielder possibly x 2. I like Baleba to make good strides, Gilmour is tidy but not terribly strong, Pascal, I think may leave 😢. Lallana obviously gone. Definitely a RB starter, as Tariq struggles with multiple games, Velts looks a bit old (but think he’s...

I always know all your posts are with best intention I think I really moaned probably at Estupinan, and our lack of defensive discipline. Villa, I think I was too busy defending Steele who was getting unfair abuse, whereas Estupinan once again slept initially. I left Villa at 0-5...

Exactly - never learned

Great post and possibly at a club like Bayern, almost certainly, but we’re not Bayern so he has to adapt, and struggled to IMO….. BTW - I do love RdZ for everything he gave us, last season was just amazing, best football ever for me, but the last 3-4 months it hasn’t been….. Almost liked we...

But then the damage was done. Chelsea the same happened again….. 😔 That inability to flex is the issue. Fair point re Villa and Newcastle, but we looked better as a unit from the forwards back, and neither team threatened us from the wing as much. Gordon had drifted more central for example...

You don’t continue to go hung-ho for starters, RdZ as brilliant as an offensive coach as he was, had limited defensive structure as continues to be proven. Both Chelsea’s goals were rank bad defending.

He wasn’t based on the goals we were conceding

Quite, and its then how you adapt.

Yes, I believe he walks through situations without a ball, similar to a basketball team, when they run a ‘pick’, in our case drills to beat a press. As you say it takes one error and the drill can fall apart. However, my issue is more around that in the same way you can get cheat codes in...

You’re right, but when you are conceding similar goals in all the above, you have to question tactics, weaker squad or not. Although comes across well (and I do like him), in footballing terms I think there is a degree of arrogance tactically.

Agree - have to say people moan about Hughton’s brand in the PL, but I found Garcia totally boring. The end justified the means, but along with Hyypia, I thought he wasn’t great.

Do you reckon it’s already in place then? As a connoisseur of European football, who do you rate at the moment.

Good lord, I hope not.

So true. Deserves a standing ovation. IMO - best ever, and deserves a lot of respect and love. This is totally different to a few players recently and Poyet. He could of course end up being a dick like Potter, but at the moment everything seems amicable….

Real shame, but it was coming. Great coach, but struggled to adapt at times to the opposition. However, loved his time here, so many memories and arguably our best ever….
