well, I do believe de zerbi is great but so was Ten Hag in previous jobs. I really do not think De Zerbi would have done any better job than Ten Hag. Brighton is just well organized club and that is big part of the success.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
Of course the Glazers are the main problem but they have not sold yet.
Early days still, but ETH needs to sort our midfield out which is not trivial and on top of that we have a kid up front and Antony out wide. Of course it might work but no other top club is run this way like we are PSV Eindhoven.
I get the comparisons with Ten Hag, but let's leave the full-on Ten Hag/United posts for United threads please. This is the De Zerbi thread.
Losing to Moyes. Fraud.
Caf's latest favorite hipster getting schooled by Moyes.
Add West Ham to this I suppose.... the bed wetting on this forum so far this season has been ridiculous.
the caf said he was the next big thing, another one our resident experts seem to have misjudged 
good call
Couldn’t happen to a smugger prick.
Like said....far too early to start getting excited.
They are currently moving over to the Postecoglou thread.the caf said he was the next big thing, another one our resident experts seem to have misjudged
Moyes did a Mourinho, he parked 5 buses. Brighton dominated possession but could not break West Ham down.
But but he's better than Ten Hag.
They got done by mistakes at the back, only difference is he didn't have a Bruno and Rashford.
Yes, the only difference De Zerbi in!
Three hours ago I wanted him in but now I think he’s a fraud
Wonder where we'll go now after ETH gets sacked? Moyes? 
Nah Brighton will be fine. They do need to start investing this money though or they'll become another Southampton. Milner has no right starting in the PL anymore, they need quality in midfield to replace what's left. Their system and coaching will take them so far but is it going to be enough if he's not backed?
Surprised Dahoud is on the bench now, see their first game of the season and he looked good.

Today is one of those matches that will go under the radar and be ignored. Then Brighton and de zerbi will be brought up again when they get their next win and it will be made out they are destroying every team they come up against.
Imagine the media dissection of the whole club if United lost 3-1 at home to West Ham
Tbf they have lost big players for big money and haven't brought in much.
Cause Brighton and United have similar profiles, have invested similar amounts in their team, and similar expectations for their seasons. So yes, very unfair that De Zerbi is not held to the same standards as Ten Hag.
I think all the comparisons and salivating over De Zerbi are rather short-sighted (and forget what profile Ten Hag had when he joined United); but the inverse that's happening here now is just as nonsensical.
Watch them free fall into a relegation battle.
De Zerbi will be sacked by Christmas and all the talk of him being the next big thing will be laughed at.

The issue is Brighton is a well oiled machine, easy for a decent manager to look good. You just dont know how much impact the manager has and how much it is the system behind it, as from the outside, they are just a unity. Similar to ETH and Ajax back then...
This won't happen. I'm not cash flush but I'd stake an even £100 Brighton won't finish below 9th. They've already signed Caicedo's replacement (someone United probably should have looked at, if Brighton's record and descriptions of player are anything to go by) for one...
James Milner?
He's an oddball. Dropping your GK after winning the first two games. Announcing the day before the match which CF you're going to start. Either he's getting complacent and underestimating the league or he's just super weird.
A few wierd selection decsions and a couple of bad results after losing a few players is all it takes for the nose dive to happen. Confidence goes, few mistakes start to creep in and before you know it you find yourself in a relegation battle and you're out the door.
fecking hell, knee jerk much? Won their first two games 4-1 and top of the league but one bad game and they're going to end up in a relegation battle, despite the fact there is some proper crap at the bottom of the table.
Haha, no, Carlos Baleba. Though I think even Milner at near 40 would have done better than any of our midfielders against Wolves, for one.
Or beginning to believe the hype about him...?
To be fair, he's in a league with Pep, Klopp, Arteta, Ten Hag, Emery, Frank... it's basically a requirement to be super weird to be a half decent manager now.
Exactly. Structure is everything.
You know he is doing a great job when people are so bitter, and so shocked that they lost a match.
They have a negative net spent of 100m this summer. Imagine if we sold Casemiro and Bruno and most of the money was not reinvested. We still cry about Ronaldo's movie going to Glazers.

Will find out his true ability when more teams playing them with low block.
One of the all time great managers shouldn't be losing home games against Moyes.

Pep lost to Moyes, he’s also lost to Hodgson, he lost 4 times to Ole, he lost to Southampton under Hassenhuttl and a few times to Wolves under Nuno.
It’s football, no one judges on one game. Last season we lost to Everton in the run in, bad games happen. At least in this one we totally dominated possession, we just didn’t do enough with it. We were never going to win every game.
If the odd result like this means everyone thinks RDZ is rubbish then they’re worth it for us to keep him.
Spot on but I believe @Samid is wumming any way , but Jaimie Redknapp is definitely talking out of his ass .
Learned his lesson from last week. Was never going to lose to two English managers in a row.
Brighton is just a delightful team to watch. He is a truly special manager, the players are always getting better, no matter who plays on the day. If EtH fails (hopefully not), he would be my first choice to replace him.
