[Albion] RDZ - sick - but back on bench soon

[Taybha]

I'd be foaming at the mouth if I got duped like that.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Do we know if he's well enough to be involved in planning and team selection for tonight?

 

[Whoislloydy]

I would prefer a few more people faked covid to work from home to all those "heroes" who bravely soldier in to work to spread their germs around.

Feckin twunts at work infected me last month so I had to miss the Palace and Grimsby games.

Not you obviously but the memory does still get me writing Internet essays which shows how angry I still am.

COVID or not, if you're sick and you can WFH then you should. If not, use your sick days they're there for a reason!

Do we know if he's well enough to be involved in planning and team selection for tonight?

He’s just walked onto the pitch to keep an eye on the warm up.

Our Roberto is fine, just seen his sky pre match interview

 

[Perry's Tracksuit Bottoms]

Our Roberto is fine, just seen his sky pre match interview

He looked and sounded terrible!

 

[Farehamseagull]

He looked and sounded terrible!

Yep. I wouldn’t want to get on his wrong side tonight, he’s not going to be taking any shit from anyone!

 

[Scappa]

Do we know if he's well enough to be involved in planning and team selection for tonight?

Well the starting 11 was either genius, or signs of delirium brought on by a fever

 

[Bodian]

Well the starting 11 was either genius, or signs of delirium brought on by a fever

Finishing 11 was preferable I think.

 

[NorthstandRacoon]

Was clearly smoke and mirrors, he loves it being smoke and mirrors.

 

[dazzer6666]

Love this

Just seen this - Balague is always very much ITK


Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi has been approached by Tottenham, according to Guillem Balague.

The Italian has won 17 of his 33 games in charge of the Seagulls since replacing Graham Potter and has impressed with his attacking, possession-based style of play.

Balague told BBC Radio 5 Live's Euro Leagues: "In the last two weeks, I’ll give you the names of managers that privately had shown how much in awe they are of Roberto De Zerbi and what he is doing at Brighton.

"They love the fact that they chase every ball, they don’t give rivals a chance, they are full of confidence, they don’t have any panic in the way they play, they are very strong in positions, they have midfielders that want the ball even if they have no space.

"Those are Ruben Amorim (Sporting Lisbon manager), Unai Emery, who I spent half an hour listening to him at the Leicester game talking about De Zerbi, Pep [Guardiola], [Mauricio] Pochettino, Xavi and Mikel Arteta.

"They really, really like what he is doing and it’s interesting that it seems his next step is to actually stay at Brighton for one more year to keep learning the league he is in.

"But obviously he has been approached by Spurs and he will have bigger approaches by the sound of it."

Wasn't Potter approached by Tottenham and turned them down, or was that made up?
I'd hope De Zerbi would aim higher than that.
