    Agreed. Porro was ripped to shreds on his debut.

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    I agree he had a poor game but the second goal is harsh. He actually holds the ball for several seconds waiting for some sign of life or help. Bergvall is trotting towards him!!!!!! He ends up losing the ball, then Bergy tries that noodle challenge and gets laughed at.

    All good points and questions...opening day drubbings...not quite the same but there was a 4-0 home defeat to West Ham first home game of the season in 81/82, however we had won 3-1 at Boro on first game of the season...

    You mention Sarr...is it just me, or is there a higher ceiing to Sarr/he's a little bit more effective than Gallagher, who is busy and bustles around a lot, yet Sarr is huge worker and has equal if not better quality on the ball?

    I was waiting...the main differences as I saw them. 1) He didn't say it. 2) He didn't say it last week or the week before or earlier. 3) I don't see them as contradictory at all. I took them as him saying we weren't really ready as he wants us to be, and he didn't expect us to be as poor as we...

    You should listen to his post-match presser, be interested to hear your take. I thought it was great as it served all masters, including the truth, and stated all realities.

    I am most certainly someone who needed a little bit of reality. And you know what? I got it. Equally, I did not spend my summer looking at all the things which could go wrong and sitting on them. I recognised them, but I chose to focus on what RDZ is selling me, and his sales pitch had me...

    An excellent series...might I also suggest The Patriot? Such clever, well-written television...

    Indeed, De Zerbi was not happy about the tour and did feel it was not ideal. I have to think we won't be doing something quite like that again under him? Or is the 'business' of football now so dominant that the coach has to STFU and take it???

    ***Tottenham v Brentford OMT***

    @MartyFunkhouser this is actually a season where I am prepared to have patience and suffer if necessary (not like last season of course!) because even though it's been a bad start, I believe in the manager, what he's presented as a way he wants to play, and the type of side/club he is looking to...

    Did you need Thomas Frank to come in and announce early doors that 'we will lose football matches'? I did not. For someone as apparently detached from reality as you like to paint me, I was keenly aware we would not go unbeaten in a season. It was utterly unnecessary.

    Unacceptable. The situation currently leaves me blaming no-one per se. If it is the same in the next three games, then we'll soon be able to see where the faults lie...FWIW, I thought his presser was very good and clever, accountability and protection, a rare mind-trick.

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    I think playing on the left of a brand new CB pairing in a brand new defense in the first game of the season would've been unfair on him personally.

    ***Tottenham v Brentford OMT***

    An assumption on your part. If I may be so bold, a very foolish one. I would suggest that reducing what I expressed to such a black and white equation is unwise. Just because someone chooses optimism on a football message board about their football club, it should not suggest to you that...
