Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

We are going to need some leaders. That is the main issue for me. I see none. Only Gallagher when he plays (and remember, last weekend I was the one asking what exactly it was that he does!!!!)...

Who is going to bring the attitude? Who is going to make sure that when we concede a stupid goal we take it as an insult not an injury? Who is going to use a marginal offside goal as fuel for determination as opposed to shrinkage? Who is going to pump a fist for their teammate or gee them up when meeking about?

Who in our squad has that?
Because I think THAT is what we need the most.

I think where RDZ is flummoxed is in the lack of character/leadership personality. He would call it this group 'finding its culture'.

I’ve been thinking the same, where are the leaders in the available squad?

Gallagher is the only name I could come up with too.
 
Robertson should be aswell to be fair, but his performances on the pitch have been unconvincing so far....
He has had some ok games
Yesterday he was fine but that first goal was a mistake no question
He passes the ball imo better than anyone other than Fernandes
Scary that these are all new players

He appointed Micky as the captain, which was a big mistake imo. The bloke was by his own admission a nervous wreck for most of the relegation fight, and he’s never been vocal on the pitch. A really odd choice.

The two we did have who showed real character and fight in the last couple of months - Pahlinha and Danso - were got rid of, both of which were strange decisions for me.

I still am scratching my head at that signing.
I dont mind it
Experience and depth now on the side of the pitch we have struggled with
The one I’ve never got was JPVH… bad defensively, great with the ball
Vuskovic kinda fitted that ball but with possible better defensive nous and exceptional aerial ability
Cost us Danso too, although Tosin was good mid week
