One player? Maybe because his deal was only ever for six months.
He isn’t the man to manage a squad decimated by injuries? Ok…..
Exactly. I can live with dropping points here and there, but a good manager implements a style, and with the squad we have we should be able to do well against a lot of teams, but we almost never do, against any one.
There isn’t a stand out candidate but nothing ETH offers is of a standard that makes that a deterrent. Whoever we bring in is unlikely to be much worse and the worst case scenario is ETH clings on by skin of his teeth before inevitably being sacked before Christmas.
It’s not just Erik. Rangnick ‘god father of the press’ couldn’t do it, Mourinho didn’t implement anything other than a parked bus, LVG failed with his ‘philosophy’. The closest we’ve come to a style implemented is Oles counter attacking.
Who else? Tuchel causes fires everywhere he goes. De Zerbi maybe but he's an unknown quantity.
Careful what you wish for.
I’m all in on ETH still, but I’d take Tuchel. I don’t think De Zerbi is all that, like Potter before him he benefits from the set up Brighton have and the support around him.
Seriously what are you seeing in our performances to be 'all in'?
Think I'll take my chances with Omar and Ashwhatshisname than Murtough's pick.
I didn’t watch today.
Correct.
Just doesn’t make any sense in this scenario, it’s more applicable to anyone who wishes to keep him, just delays the inevitable.
I don’t think so. This isn’t some Ole style death spiral crash and burn where we can’t get a win for love nor money. We’ve seen in the last 5 games before Fulham that we can play well and win when we have the right players available. We’ve had a rough season no doubt but we are still very much a work in progress. Even more so now we have new staff incoming above ETH. Give it all a time to settle and let people do there job.
Exactly.
Yup.
EtHs ego won’t allow him to succumb to the demands of others. DoF will get rid.
We weren't playing well. Don't let results fool you.
He’s done, there’s no chance he lasts the two/three years required to sort out all this mess. There’s absolutely nothing to fear about sacking him and the be careful what you wish for argument just doesn’t apply.
We had better players than Fulham today, and in countless other games where we were by a mile the worse team.
Thanks hunni, love you too.
You never cease to amaze. Never change.
Yes i suspect there will be a clash if he doesn’t get on with the new guys ideas. His ego was certainly talking at the press conference today
I dunno about that, the first 6 minutes against Luton were great!
That depends if you believe the mess is his fault, or if you accept we were a mess pre-ETH and it’s a monumental job to sort it out, especially with the turbulence and uncertainty the sale process would have caused.
It is a monumental job and the time and money wasted by ETH isn’t helping with that, he has no future it’s just a case of whether that decision will be made in the summer or he’ll go next season.
I know there is the cult of RR about etc, and trust me I’m very far from that, but I will give the man that in his very first game vs Crystal Palace his tactics were in place and rather effective.
Really? What has he done that is "marvellous"?I dunno about that, the first 6 minutes against Luton were great!
Seriously though, we’ve seen how we ‘could’ play through last season too. Since then he’s bought through Alejandro, Kobbie and is developing Hojlund. It’s an exciting prospect.
Transitioning from DDG to Onana has been rough, injuries have been ridiculous and all the off field shit he’s dealt with too. I think he’s doing a marvellous job all things considered and deserves to start next season at least. I’m interested where he can take us with INEOS’s support.
You can hardly include Rangnick, as he was only here for a short space off time and didn't have a transfer window like the rest. Mourinho set his team up to defend, and on the whole, from what I can remember, we looked pretty solid, but boring going forward. Ole, quite similar to Jose, in that he played with a low block and hit teams on the counter. LVG was the closest, in my opinion. We were structured both on and off the ball. Him changing from a 433 to a 4231 messed him up.
