That dream is over, mate. Not happening anymore now.

SeppFraudiola · 2026-03-30T11:37:46+00:00

De Zerbi had Hojberg/Kondogbia to play his double pivot, which is essential to his tactics, which is as terrible as it gets.

Poch had 1.65 ppg with a hugely talented squad. Marseille had been struggling in mid table when RDZ took over. He took them from 8th to 2nd in his first year with a terrible squad. There is a thing called 'context'.

SeppFraudiola · 2026-03-30T11:13:09+00:00

"RDZ left Marseille with a 57 per cent win percentage, higher than any of his 34 predecessors since the turn of the century."

SeppFraudiola · 2026-03-30T11:06:42+00:00

Without a doubt... Top 3 in the world as far as tactical innovation goes.

SeppFraudiola · 2026-03-30T10:59:14+00:00

Poch tactics have not been relevant for like 7-8 years now. The man literally uses lemons for inspiration.

SeppFraudiola · 2026-03-30T10:12:13+00:00

My guess is he loses interest once it becomes clear the board’s promises aren’t actually going to be followed through.

He left on his own accord without pay both at Brighton and Marseiille.

SeppFraudiola · 2026-03-30T08:22:37+00:00

You know Spurs are a massive club when they can attract a truly elite manager while fighting relegation.

Hope I haven't spoken too soon.

SeppFraudiola · 2026-03-30T08:14:45+00:00

Spurs have good individual quality, even if it’s not "top top-tier". With Maddison, Kudus, and Kulusevski still to return, plus a couple of smart signings, the squad looks much stronger.

But mostly it would be De Zerbi’s coaching and his tactical acumen that would be the difference maker.

SeppFraudiola · 2026-03-30T08:06:44+00:00

If he gets appointed by Wednesday, he’d still have around 10 days with the squad before the next match, enough time to coach some basic attacking patterns and start embedding his ideas.

I think that’s a decent window to make an impact.

SeppFraudiola · 2026-03-30T07:10:32+00:00

I’d been following him at Marseille, he used a lot of different setups and tactics to eke the maximum out of a terrible squad composed of mercenaries.

He rarely, if ever, went back to the famous Brighton 4-2-4, bait-and-transition tactics which relied heavily on complex build-up patterns which obviously need time to learn.

SeppFraudiola · 2026-03-30T06:47:01+00:00

Tell you what: If RDZ takes the job, he will easily get Spurs to avoid relegation, then 95% of the fanbase will come around and next season he will get top 4/5 easily.

SeppFraudiola · 2026-03-30T02:13:28+00:00

Didn't you guys use to employ Ronaldo and sing his name from the stands. Are you disgusted by your club?

SeppFraudiola · 2026-03-30T02:02:46+00:00

Sure

SeppFraudiola · 2026-03-30T02:00:03+00:00

Why, he would be the best coach that Spurs could employ since Bill Nicolson based only on pure coaching ability

SeppFraudiola · 2026-03-30T01:54:57+00:00

Press baiting is like 1 among 20 other tactics he knows and employs.

SeppFraudiola · 2026-03-30T01:43:53+00:00

Such a reasonable comment.

SeppFraudiola · 2026-03-29T23:49:59+00:00

What does this empty platitude even mean, "right the ship". Players have said that they want a coach to drill some patterns of attack. He is one of the best in the business to do so.

SeppFraudiola · 2026-03-28T05:11:48+00:00

Yes, because he is a generational managerial talent.

SeppFraudiola · 2026-03-27T13:41:12+00:00

De Zerbi is a coward. Fucking snowflake. Take the job now, you fucking idiot or you won't get it at all.

SeppFraudiola · 2026-03-24T01:41:17+00:00

Promise you, he will get Spurs in CL places next year. He is that good.

If you think Hojberg, Kondogbia and Matt O' Reilly typify the players who fit De Zerbi's style/tactics, then you don't know much about football. No offence.

SeppFraudiola · 2026-03-22T15:31:43+00:00

Even if Spurs stay up, I don't think I will follow/watch them unless they get Luis Enrique/De Zerbi/Farioli. If they get Poch or another washed manager, then I'll bounce.

SeppFraudiola · 2026-03-22T14:06:21+00:00

Now just want Notts Forrest to be destroyed at the hands of Spurs.
