Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

Agreed, also I think it was Ben Foster that said tears from a captain just aren’t great. He needed to be getting around the players boosting them up if he was going off. It might be harsh, but I agree with that. Tears in that moment is another sense of inevitability being against us.

On a related but kind of irrelevant note, and I fudging love the man completely, I always thought Poch crying after Ajax was a mistake. Wasn’t a good look from our leader and we’d only won a semi final.
 
Respectfully disagree on both Romero and tears...thought I can virtually guarantee our season will end with the latter and without the former!

Oh I know he's a 'hate figure' in some parts here.
Whatever mate. I disagree, and disagree with some of the further stuff which has been expressed.
Perhaps would've been better if he hadn't been in position to screen that ball back to Kinsky; at least then people could've just slagged his lack of awareness and not his reaction to an injury based on, well, not much really...

I don't hate him at all, but I do think he's one who plays for himself, and I don't think he's had the right attitude, least of all for the situation we're in. He's now one fewer option, regardless, which we could have done without, but I don't think putting Danso there represents a huge downgrade, by any means.

Yeah I get you.

I remember when we beat Chelsea away, with the Dier long pass onto Dele, it must have been 2018. And it was like the entire bench and staff made a concerted effort NOT to react to the result. They may have even talked about it straight after. But I loved that. It showed we weren’t done. I know Poch’s wife also commented to him on celebrating too much at that Everton home game.

The Ajax one is tough because it was genuinely one of the most miraculous nights in football, in the most incredible of circumstances. And after such a tough prior 18 months of the stadium build and no signings. So I do get why you almost have to give slack to Poch in that moment. But I’m also sympathetic to the idea that remaining ‘on the level’ is what leaders of sports teams need to be.

Fair enough my friend.
On Danso, a noble defender but poor passer/distributor. If DeZerbi insists on build up from the back I'd rather put Gray back there TBH...

Nah.
Not tough for me.
Tough is finding fault with those tears...
 
Nothing on his ability but I don't see this lasting.
when we go down I don't think the club will honour their promises, the senior players are not up to it or for it and just don't see how with his personality this doesn't blow up.
