Isn’t this all just proving that it’s quite hard to manage a club on a tight budget in the season that immediately follows selling both their first choice central midfielders at once?
Hopefully ends the talk of him. Not good enough, well nobody knows how good he is, not United quality anyway.
Also, Brighton does not have a first team or squad at the level of the top clubs. Whenever people praise De Zerbi of Brighton for overperforming compared to their potential, the implication is that a lower-level performance would have been acceptable as well. And so it doesn't make much sense if people start slagging off De Zerbi if Brighton sometimes don't get those top club-level results. (As long as it doesn't start happening more frequently, of course.)Isn’t this all just proving that it’s quite hard to manage a club on a tight budget in the season that immediately follows selling both their first choice central midfielders at once?
Aye, any decent manager getting hammered by 6’s and 7’s has no business managing at United.Hopefully ends the talk of him. Not good enough, well nobody knows how good he is, not United quality anyway.
I was convinced he had given a penalty to Brighton. Then whaaaaat?That was some 10/10 trolling from the ref

Been unlucky TBF. Some classic awful brighton finishing.Currently losing 2-0 against Marseille in the Europa after 20 minutes
Looks as though tactically he's been found out. Let the defenders have the ball and stand off but mark tight and press and double up on the receiving players.
It was so funny and confusing.Why did he march everyone all the way back from Marseille having a corner, just to give Marseille a freekick on the edge of their own area?
The commentary too
"oh wait it ISN'T a penalty"
"What the hell?"
Blimey, you really don’t like Brighton do you. I See they drew 2-2. Guess they’re a bit more spirited than the pricks who play for us…Currently losing 2-0 against Marseille in the Europa after 20 minutes
Yep, I don't know about "found out" but usually given enough time / visibility (i.e., you're not managing in some hipster league), people figure out a way to counter tactics that diverge from the current football meta. It'll happen with Ange as well. Then the manager / players will adapt in other ways.
Eventually the best ideas win out - if placing the studs on the ball, inviting pressure and playing through is the best way to beat a high press then it'll win over the pass and move to create space approach that's the standard meta now. However, the current status quo is the status quo for a reason. You might occasionally have a guy like Pep who can influence and change the meta itself but that only happens once a generation.
Ahaha got nothing against them but I was watching OM and was surprised to see Brighton start the game so badlyBlimey, you really don’t like Brighton do you. I See they drew 2-2. Guess they’re a bit more spirited than the pricks who play for us…

Not Ajax, they are performing really poorly and the club is in crisis mode.They’re playing Liverpool at the weekend and the two games immediately after the international break are City and Ajax. Tough little period for them.
