Yes, I understand and I also see lots of posters saying he has no plan B, so I'm asking what do you think the tactics should be?

How different? What should change?

ImO he needs the players to execute efficiently and it requires a high degree of precision e.g. baiting and playing out from the back. His style has been no more "sussed out" than Pep's or Klopp's. It come down to the players.

What tactics should de Zerbi use? 1. Lump it up to the big man and fight for the second ball? 2. Play longer, direct balls to the wingers and (buffalo girls) go round the outside (round the outside) 3. 8 man low block? 4. Something else ( please explain what)?

Enciso made an immediate difference when he came on. There's a clue right there as to why we've been struggling; missing players who can execute with skill and precision.

Cloughie said "tactics don't win you matches, players win you matches". This is true with de Zerbi, Pep, Klopp and everyone else. De Zerbi's style is particularly reliant on wingers (and fullbacks) executing with precision and speed. For the second half of the season we've been desperately...

If de Zerbi doesn't walk he should be given next season with a full, fit squad (to start with).

He is, particularly going through the player from behind.

I don’t agree with that. He has carried well, passed OK and generally covered well.

Ange learnt everything he knows from De Zerbi. Too slow in the final third, shit at set-pieces, loads of possession.

Yes, this is a huge problem. Barco and Offiah are breaking fast from midfield but then we slow it down, go backwards and start again.

Offiah is looking decent.

3 or 4-0? Not 5, surely?

RDZ prefers Goodnight at #10. I expect Adingra on the right and JP on the left (I could be wrong).

Based on our form and performances over the past few months I am quietly confident that we will lose and fail to score. I'm now almost resigned to finishing below Palace. My hopes (and dreams) are now focused on next season with all our injured players back. Three points today would be...
