Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

I would assume that there is progression planning as well, by that I mean that we are looking at players that we would want to bring in next season and the season after, this cannot be done if we keep changing managers and styles
 
Now we have survived (phew!) and the dust has settled on what was a horrid season, can we take a step back and look at RDZ's style and tactics, what he changed to get us out of our mess, what you saw that gave you hope for the new season plus potential weaknesses?

Happy if anyone can compare what they've seen so far under RDZ to the first things they saw under previous coaches, Poch and Conte in particular.

I like the bloke and the cut of his jib 100%, I think its too small a sample TBH though, I think we looked more robust and cut out the mistakes but he suffered the same fate as Frank in that our attack is limited in ability - IMO, we never looked like putting a side away with a flurry, so I think to compare him with Poch and Conte we will need to see him with some better fire power. Hence why I keep saying unless we improve the personnel he will go the same way as those before him

Thanks for the reply.

That lack of firepower is so true and actually makes him look even better potentially...

Similar to conte he exudes personality which we need at spurs. It’s just the way the club is wired and we cannot have passive managers

I like the fact he has them what he has and dealt with it to get results… conte wanted it his way and only his way.

Poch is not comparable IMO because he was more of an unknown than any manager we have had in recent years (although he was great for us)

He showed more versatility IMO over a very short period than most do in a season

He organised the defence to keep the ball which Frank couldn’t do despite being much more defensuve

He also managed to get a tune out of a very limited midfield

Thanks for the detail.

From what you agve seen, who do you think (of our current squad) will thrive under RDZ and who would you see as doomed to fail?

Hard to tell
It’s been such a small sample right
But I think he will be ruthless
Any player who relent gave there the technical ability won’t get in
If I was speculating
Sarr would be one
Dragusin
Richy
The. It’s additional sales for income like Romero

Yeh I can't see Richy or Solanke doing well under him because the breakdown in play or chances missed will mean he blows a fuse

We haven't really seen how RDZ wants us to play yet, he already said he wasn't going to give players instructions he would usually in fear of over complicating.

We will likely setup differently to how we did those games at the end of this season....

100% different I’m sure
But he values technical skills higher than most imo

I think Solanke will be fine
He can do the hold up and also the scoring in the box like he did at Bournemouth
But we need to replace richy and bring in Lankshear

He was only a goal scorer for that one season though. If he can match that performance level then he's a good option to have but so far it was one off and we don't know if he can achieve consistently.

Well he did it the year they got promoted too
But I do get your logic
That year he was a “fox in the box” type
He has never played that role here and that may not be what’s asked either
