[Albion] Fab OUT

[birthofanorange]

The comparison is tenuous given the gulf in ability and nous but can you imagine SAF not completely losing his shit about a performance like that? Has Fab lost his shit? I haven’t actually watched or heard his post match

That's 'Vienna' to me. The players on the pitch let him down by not earning their keep, imo. How many chances did they have, yet fail individually?
Sometimes tactics can be blamed, but today it was the failure to hit a target that pro players should be able to hit.

Utter rubbish. You can't work these players like animals. It's funny how everyone was fine with FH when we went 7 unbeaten but now we've had some poor results he's naive, inexperienced etc. RDZ would have struggled with all the key players out. We've still only lost 8 games all season. I am livid about the result, it was dreadful but letting players have a break isn't an issues if they come back with the right mindset. A lot of the DID NOT!!

Exactly. Perhaps a full weeks training would have been better for them.

How can you say that Fab isn't niave and inexperienced...? He's exactly that, he's learning.

RDZ did struggle with all the key players out. He wasn't the Messiah. There were some dark times.

He also didn't have the depth in squad Fab has...let's be real.

Agreed but he should have been able to tweak things to make us better not worse? Unless you think that our subs were worse than Leicesters. Fab has been shown to be unable to change things during the game, that is a big weakness for a manager in a club challenging for Europe. Inexperience is a valid excuse but he needs to get to grips with the challenge to succeed imo. He’ll get time, but today was a shitfest.

 

[AstroSloth]

Hurzeler cannot put the ball in the back of the net, the players can

Evidently the players cannot either, that was the problem today.

 

[AstroSloth]

At least someone else understands football.

It's not either of you though.

 

[junior]

Not read the last few pages, but I assume nobody is still defending this joker after today?

 

[Justice]

It's not either of you though.

Explain then why Fabs tactics are working in your mind. I’ve asked many times and had no response apart from he’s learning.

 

[AstroSloth]

Freak result We were very lucky to hang on to a point.

Yes after we missed about 13 great chances.

If we took our chances in the first half we're out of sight.

And not playing as a team. . . . . .there's a conspiracy theory brewing

Yes, and through the season, despite having decent benches compared to previous manager's hasn't made many telling substitutions or tactical changes.

He's also not adjusted anything to counter the low block teams.

A very bad day for FH. But the comments about our lack of finishing are fair to a degree

Football doesn’t work like that otherwise games would be often 6-8 or something and it’s why a 15-20 goal striker at this level cost millions.

So you think it was more down to Fab than our abject failure (as players) to put our myriad chances away?

Just like Ipswich, Wolves, Brentford, Everton Southampton etc at home. Nothing 'freak' about it.

We were 2-1 up and well f***ed it up. Immediately after the changes I might add.

 

[Flounce]

I’m a fickle fucker, after the Forest 7-0 I was very impressed by our recovery but since the loss on penalties against Forest I think Fab has been a shit manager

Back on that fence about him

Feel free to mention the umpteen chances the players had to go into h/t at least 3 goals up, too.

Tipicle WOKE nonsense we should bring back DEAN WILKINS who got us too 7th (SEVINTH) which is too better than the YTS trainee in charge now and he did it with Nathan Elder
