[Albion] Solly March, local lad and Premier League star, is f***ing brilliant

[amexer]

Good managers make players better. This is something De Zerbi has done and Potter has achieved the opposite at Chelsea.
As far as March is concerned agree it has helped he is playing in one position. In addition for first time for years he is is just as likely to go on outside of full back. Very rarely happened under Potter so must be something De Zerbi has added to his game.

As a new poster and fan I can say that this place is not the most welcoming. Seems to be a group that dominate here that don't like anyone with new views or new to the team. I have seen nothing from him apart from enthusiasm. Nothing wrong with that - but it does get the backs up of the old group for some reason. I would have thought old fans would be very welcoming of new ones as the team grows. But, at least here, it is not the case for the loud minority. (I would add the less dominant lot seem pretty accepting).

Surely you've met people like that in real life? You walk into a remote pub, previously seldom visited by outsiders. Suddenly something changes and the area becomes a top attraction for visitors. You walk into said pub, most locals will be hospitable, some may even buy you a pint, but there will always be that hard core of suspicious, cantankerous old geezers who hate change and resent you encroaching on their patch. They'll treat you at least with a snarly "you're not from round these paaarrrrrts, are you?", or even with just outright hostility, and these are the people you'll notice most. The rest of us are quietly indifferent to your presence, or happy to see you.

No surprise if true…..

Looks like Dunk telling Levi, sign or Solly’s gonna do ya

Good piece on the together podcast comparing what RDZ has done to March with what he did to Berardi at Sassoulo. In essence, their goal tallies pre-RDZ and then with-RDZ look similar. If the pattern continues, we are going to see a lot more goals from Solly.

 

[American Seagle]

Sure. Just as long as they are no the moderators and their moaning views against new fans are not used to make new commers feel unwelcome. They are the ones that need to change. Change is inevitable, things will always change.

Not denying the impact RDZ has made on Solly but that isn't true. Beradi started at Sassoulo and scored hatfuls of goals as a youngster, got a move to Juve that didn't work out, went back on loan to Sass and scored hatful of goals. He had a lean couple of seasons before RDZ joined but he's always been a goalscorer. He's Sassoulos all time leading scorer.
He'd be an amazing (if unrealistic) signing.

Allegedly with 18 months left on his deal Newcastle are looking at moving for him in the summer

Should we have a pool on when the announcement of the new contract signing happens? I'm going to say February 14th.

Got to be knocking on the door of an England call up given current form

That really deserved a goal at the end of it.

 

[Weststander]

MOTM?

BBC player ratings were sky high for Solly, before the goal!

 

[pure_white]

England call up surely

Just needs an Aston Villa shirt to make himself visible.

Sanchez may have cheered Southgate up so you never know

You have to wonder what De Zerbi's been putting in Solly's Cornflakes.
