[Albion] Roberto De Zerbi: "Now we don't have high motivation"

[Bozza]

As if there were any doubt...

Brighton players' motivation is low, admits De Zerbi

Brighton head coach Roberto de Zerbi admits motivation among his players is low after a 3-0 loss at Bournemouth, with his side failing to win a single match in April.

Because he’s leaving and the players know so aren’t invested anymore.

Bloom can’t sack him as he’d miss out on compensation.

 

[Stat Brother]

My last Tinder feedback said much the same.

Well there is something wrong at the club but I doubt we will truly know what's gone on but I don't think our performances can now be written down to just injuries.

 

[Mike Small]

And now he really is hanging out the players to dry. He's done the refs, board, young players and now it's the whole group.

He believes his own hype. Quite an incredible admission by a man completely and utterly unaware of his role in all this.

*FWIW, I will always be thankful for one of the most incredible seasons of watching Albion last year.

 

[Robert Codners Nostrils]

A great way to disconnect from the fans, especially the ones who spend their hard earned money to watch overpaid players not put in 100%.

of course not. it's injuries leading to fewer chances, leading to poor form, leading to poor results, and a manager who doesn't want to or cant get the second string to compete, leading to more apathy within the squad.

Nail in the coffin. He won’t be here next season, that’s for sure.

 

[TomandJerry]

Isn't his job to get the players motivated?!

Yep. It’s pathetic. Shameful.

 

[KZNSeagull]

Oh dear.
Looking forward to the next appointment then.

I honestly think that is one of the most shocking statements I've ever heard an Albion manager make.

 

[Farehamseagull]

Yes! We honestly may as well get rid of him now rather than waiting till the end of the season. He’s pathetic.

Yep, I just said as much on the match thread just a short while ago, players seem to be really struggling with motivation.

Perhaps part of the problem there isn’t much to fight for now (except the merit money) - next year’s place in the PL is guaranteed, European qualifier pretty much evaporated- all that is left is mid-low table mediocrity - after last season, even after the Europas, it has all come as a big anticlimax - For the fans but I’m sure for the players and Coach too - they are also human - one injury after another for months and months just as you get one back another key player is out - that has got to be demoralising after putting in the work, it must feel like one knock back after another has gradually worn everyone down.

Perhaps they should give training a miss one day next week and go on a day trip to France, do lots of shopping and have a slap up meal

Role on summer.

 

[Mike Small]

Thinking about this again. It's a bit as if he wants to get sacked. Any suitors won't want to pay the compensation so it's his way of downing tools and forcing a move.

I'd actually prefer it if Lalanna and Gross player managed it for the last 4 games. It would be more fun and the players would play better than this.

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Guess whose job it is to motivate the players Roberto?

FFS!

Was the most passive I’ve seen on the touchline today…..

The team should be fighting for us, the fans. They have given up on us!

Even RDZ's English must be good enough by now to say "I failed to motivate the players" ?

 

[Solid at the back]

I guess we could place on gardening leave, so that we don't have to pay his compo? He will still be sought after, but maybe not the level he expects.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

I didn’t watch the game today but can someone explain why he brought on Veltman and Webster when we were two down?

Neither Offiah or Igor were on a yellow, were they both injured, did we change shape and see a positive as a result

On paper seems a strange move to make when you’ve got attackers on the bench.

Does he want to be sacked?
