Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

I know it’s only two games, but
I don’t think I’ve seen a single dive, a single cynical foul, not even a shirt pull.

We were 5 up tonight and didn’t do any time wasting at all, no getting the ball in the corner, no faking injury, not even a horseshoe.

This guy might be almost as crazy as Ange.

I don’t like it, it won’t work.
Those poor kids.
 
Saying again this evening that “We are not ready” is really bizarre imo.

I actually have less problems with the "we are not ready", no recognized 10, our new shiny winger is out, real starting lineup hasn't had time together.

I do have a concern with the "it's a mentality problem", we didn't lose today because of mentality, we lost because of lineup, tempo, sub selections and a lack of final ball/clinical play.

And the press are going to crucify him if he continues to be so open in responses (zero value in saying Danso wants out)

I can see why it would be a mentally problem. Because with so many new players in the squad the leadership dynamics aren’t worked out yet. So his point around seeing our heads drop going 1 nil down, it’s not something that can be signed. It has to happen within the squad.

I thought we played pretty darn well today until their goal. But when we go down we need to know who are leaders are. They need to kick the arse of the other players. And those other players need to respond. There’s just lots of newness. They don’t all know each other, they don’t know what makes each other tick and they don’t know who to look to when things are going tits up.

VDV is supposed to be one of the guys, but then Tonali is the most expensive, Fernandes seems like one of the most vocal etc. I just don’t have the sense this has all worked itself out yet. New dynamics need to form. This is also why Robertson was signed.

I think we’ll get there. But it needs to happen quickly.

VDV will never be one of the guys, this is obvious, making him captain is a massive fudge up.
 
His selections are inexplicable.
What would you have done?

For starters I would put Porro at RB. Its not Grays fault but we cannot persist with him playing there. Bench or midfield and Berg cant play. And neither should Tel.

I have made peace with the fact that will probably wont buy a RB

Play Danso for the love of GHod. Everyone will score from corners. And we still look toothless up front.

I dont know what position Ferdy was playing but was it his position. Tonali better fix up and quick. His passing was diabolical

Isn't the "leadership" rhe same group of people that oversaw 17th finishes?? I think for starters Robertson should be given it, seeing his "experience' is the reason.

New voices needed from new players. I didnt see anyone lose their brick or riled up. I may have missed it as by the time the 2nd goal went in. I decided to cook

So was Rom. We have picked clever for this role. I don't like any of the 5 he picked.
But I guess we are not in the changing rooms. However it doesnt spill onto the pitch well
