villa4europe Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 2 minutes ago, oishiiniku_uk said: Why is De Zerbi getting constantly linked with Barcelona, Liverpool etc when his biggest achievement is a sixth place finish with Brighton? His teams are very inconsistent (not won two in a row since September) and defensively shaky. Brighton are entertaining at times, but I think he's been massively overhyped in the media. Something tells me it's his agent playing a blinder, Brighton have taken a step backwards this year - to be fair after a few years of impressive steps forward - but have you seen any criticism? Instead the manager's stock is going higher Might be different if they lose in the EL though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oishiiniku_uk Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 40 minutes ago, Zatman said: He is getting linked because he is managing Brighton and has to deal with players leaving regularly while still challenging top 8. He is doing a great job and did a good job at Sassuolo and Shakhtar before this and has a chance of winning the Europa League Sassuolo - took a team from lower mid table to upper mid table. Shakhtar - Won the Ukrainian league with a team that regularly finishes first or second. Pep and football journalists talk him up a lot but I don't think there's enough of a track record for him to be linked with the top jobs in Europe yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His teams play good football that also gets results. We're normalised to Brighton being in the top of the Premier League - that's insane. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 A master class from Ten haag. I'm just joking of course and although it's different class to first game but it's the same that one team dominate but can't score the other team park the bus but score its a masterclass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying neither would take that risk but I don't see his profile fitting, also not saying alonso is established but if he wins the bundesliga he'll be half way there (and there's a link to both bayern and Liverpool which makes it easier - see also xabi) they'll go for a top table manager and Di zerbi isn't in that club He'd be on a hiding to nothing at Liverpool, the rags will eat him alive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No because like I said alonso has a tie to both Liverpool and Bayern so him getting a chance makes sense Leverkusen winning the league obviously helps, especially with bayern and how they operate Di Zerbi doesn't have that link, I don't see him getting the opportunity for a club that size based on what he's done so far, it's not enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juventus are playing dismal football currently so need to move on Allegri again and seems they have a crop of 3-4 young players ready to get regular games so that feels a decent fit to me. Wonder if Potter is hanging on just to see if the Brighton job becomes available early in the summer and who knows he might end up back there and have them back in 14th playing amazing football but never scoring. That's the thing, De Zerbi has Brighton actually finishing in the top half now while that pretty much always eluded Potter.

oishiiniku_uk Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Another great advert for De Zerbissimo tonight. Far too open at the back by all accounts and paying the price for constantly rotating their keeper every other game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villan95 Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Gone right off the boil last few months and very naïve to lose a first leg so badly. Still top half and Europa knockouts is a solid season for them after selling their 2 best players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaVilla Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 (edited) Unprofessional imo, basically touting yourself out saying "i have a contract here, but its not a problem" etc etc. Not saying he isnt allowed to want to move clubs, anyone is ofc, but to basically say you are open to leave etc, in an interview, is poor form. Also goes on to say he isnt likely to sign a new contract, etc etc. Looks like he is totally sold on his own hype, Brighton are the ones who gave him the chance to showcase his talents as a manager, and this is how he repays them.....nice. If i was a club owner listening tot his, thinking about recruiting him, it would put me right off tbh. Edited March 31 by MaVilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is just being realistic which is better than some crap like I will be here for a long time and then leaving soon 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
