Management Roberto De Zerbi
- Thread starter The Fighting Cock

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
Surely the Robertson signing is more about driving player standards and general leadership rather than on-field 1st choice competition.
If we stay up, I think it's genuine competition and the same qualities De Zerbi seems to like in Palhinha.
The very qualities that are absent in the captain.
If we signed Palhinha on a permanent, I think he'd be excellent captain material. Could play first choice CDM for 2, maybe 3 more years. Would be a great personality to have there while we rebuild under RDZ.
Oh shiiit, I'm really starting to fall for De Zerbi! Although I think he missed a chance of making real siege mentality when asked if he thinks it is normal how the media talks about Spurs.
Palhinha, Bentancur and Gallagher would all be a positive influence for the young midfielders under De Zerbi. We could give each of the young guys great opportunities by playing one of them alongside 2 of the experienced players on a kind of rotational basis. Keeps everyone fresh as well.
He's really growing on me, and fast.
I don't necessarily disagree but two wins and suddenly our midfield is full of leadership and positive influence?
Lange and Vinai taking notes as we speak
Nah we need better than nearly all three mate. Seriously Bentancur had a good game but Id happily upgrade him and that game was Gallagher first good one. We have to be very clear eyed. We were 17th last year and desperate to make that again this isn't a fluke. Bad coaching and poor players got us here, we have rectified one let push on and do the other.
Disgraceful and bias media at it again. Well done from De Zerbi to cop it.
Looks like he is attempting to swallow a wooden dildo!
Just see RDZ on sky sports , and he was asked did Aston Villa play with a understrength team against us and if they'd played with last nights line up would they have beaten us ?
He answered "We played without Romero , Simons , Maddison , Kudus , Kulusevski and Vicario" . That seemed to shut them up

If what happened to us?
What 50/50's?
It was a clean game because Villa were so shit.
Even the bentest ref in the world would struggle to give a free kick for Spurs winning a loose ball.
Because it's the right answer.
I'd probably have gone one step further and asked them where Villa would be if they had to play that 11 every week all season.
All we can do now is beat whoever is in front of us.
Oh he's gonna be fun!
Love me a manager that actually sticks up for us!
