    De Zerbi for manager

    FSG are going to have to swallow their reservations and get me the guy I wanted initially

    They played a better more evolved 433 than us, better links ups and variation and used the switches and medium diagonals brilliantly and we have the mids to do that

    They’ll have to commit Konate to another 5 years for him and back him for 2 wide forwards and a No6 id like to see Nunez brought back as De Zerbi makes great players

    Passionate as hell and gets players to play far better for him

    We’d all love to have Brighton Macca playing for us

    Players that were better under him than where they went

    Macca
    Bissouma
    Cucerella
    Caicedo
    Trossard
    Ferguson - he was the shit under De Zerbi everyone wanted him, if anyone can unlock Nunez to be the player he should be it’s De Zerbi

    Had to be done, it’s time

    Look at the list and think what he can do with Macca Gravenberch and Szobo, Wirtz, Kerkez, Frimpong, Ekitike, Isak, Nunez

    Yeah they can you’re just saying that based on the recent Marseille result

    Brighton we good defensively and he wasn’t exactly blessed with top CBs

    And you are basing this on what you think will happen.. I'd prefer Alonso over De-Zebri. At least we'll play more of possession kind of game.

    He only finished one place behind us with his squad in 22-23

    I’m basing it on having watched a lot of Brighton when he was manager because they were a great watch and the long list of players he made top players and who were much better under him at Brighton than they’ve.been since, including Macca

    If you’re my age you don’t want Alonso as you’re repeating the same mistakes that ended up with us not winning a title for 30 years

    Souness fucked off the winning formula we compounded it by bringing in Evans with his back 3

    We need to get back to 433 it’s our identity and brand and bar two top wide forwards we have the players to play it brilliantly with experience of doing so

    In fairness, I wanted him ahead of Slot in the first place The Erevidersie is a poor league they haven’t had a team in a Champions League final in 30 years the German French Portuguese leagues are all far superior apart from Virgil and Gravenberch who both left early they have t had a Rio played come out of their league in years either
