    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    i like dzb's style of football. fundamentally it involves starting with more players in our own half, more running to create options around the ball, passing to the playmaker facing the direction of attack, and attacking fast. also lots of triangles and push and run in attack as the play...

    What was the trigger in our downward trend?

    no trigger but a reversion to the mean. that poch era was a fortunate black swan event, where we amassed talents that worked. pre- and post- was pretty much the same bargain basement, over the hill and speculative talents (especially from demoted clubs).

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    i think the best sporting events - across all sports - should be devoid of any political agenda. sure cheating to win has to be frowned upon - because that's fundamental to competition. as greenwood has not been convicted, I have not born any ill will towards him. i won't want him to come...

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    De zerbi should have been the one after Postecoglu. Lange admitted they failed to get him then. He is hot headed and demanding, just what we need to whack the players into a team. Quite sure ee zerbi got all he wanted in the 5 year deal, good for him...and an end to player power in the...

    Body language on the pitch, lack of playing for each other...though that could have been because of the relationship with TF. That said I'm happy we got a hot head coach like de zerbi in to whack the players into a team. Given our position, I am sure owners and management gave in to all of de...

    Dejan Kulusevski

    I hope you are right. I don't think a patella injury is simple. Lots of advancements on ligament treatments, but haven't seen much innovation in treatmentw on the surface of bone joints. Imo Top 4 is possible in 2-3 years and I'm guessing de zerbi wants to win something in years 4/5.

    Mohammed Kudus

    Odobert isn't good enough imo. Best coming off the bench and gets rattled too easily. Johnson has proven quality and stats , even before joining us.

    Cristian Romero

    De zerbi is the right coach for Romero, if he is willing to comply to the high standards and strict formations that de zerbi requires. Both equally hot headed, 50:50 will be great or miserable lol.

    i already get the feeling that many players are agitating for a move and affecting the team's performance

    Mohammed Kudus

    johnson is good chasing down a ball - that's how he earned his reputation and scored many goals for spurs with his nippiness somehow wasn't used that way anyway just having kudus is not enough as he would and did get injured. and we needed to play to johnson's strengths or get another who could...

    Dejan Kulusevski

    i did a knee surgery and was off my foot for 2 months and light walking for another 2 and felt i lost a lot of muscle memory not saying kulu can't make it - the question is how much risk are you willing to accomodate to get to top 4.

    Mohammed Kudus

    true he doesn't but the coach needed to adapt to a plan B attacking down that side. my take is that johnson was for sale and the club tried not to risk him

    Dejan Kulusevski

    not confident with knee injuries and such a looong time out he will have to relearn walking and running and all the basic football stuff, very likely kulu will not be the same

    Mohammed Kudus

    we knew that Kulu was going to be out for a long time if it was Kudu - we shouldn't have sold Johnson

    Dejan Kulusevski

    i'd try to do both at the same time, not mutually exclusive problems
