Roberto De Zerbi

This week I've got double Spurs.

I think defensively they're gonna do well under De Zerbi, and Van Hecke and Porro are both good options.

And then in goal it's Suzuki, the new goalkeeper at Villa, who's playing Nottingham Forest at home, who haven't exactly been free-scoring.

I think that's a pretty solid team for gameweek four.

But-

... they've safeguarded themselves a bit till De Zerbi kinda blows up and leaves.

Yeah.

See, that's, I, I think-

Mm

...

I reckon someone above De Zerbi has said, "Look, [laughs] this guy doesn't tend to last.

Give us, give us another couple of years-

Yeah, well, you know, he probably...

De Zerbi signed him.

What did De Zerbi...

De Zerbi described him as his footballing son.

I don't think he'd even played for De Zerbi.

De Zerbi might have lasted in November.

I know that's quite... glib from a Spurs point of view.

They're going to sack another manager.

Saturday evening's game at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has quickly become a must-win for the hosts who, after the joy of surviving the drop last season and enjoying an incredible summer transfer window, have been brought back down to earth with a bump.

Roberto de Zerbi's side not only hasn't won a game so far this season, but they've not even scored a goal.

They only remain off the foot of the Premier League table by virtue of the fact that one of their games was a goalless draw at Nottingham Forest, handing them their first point of the 20-26-27 campaign.

One victory and one clean sheet in 12 home games.

Mudrik extends Tottenham's injury jinx.

New Tottenham signing Mikhailo Mudrik is likely to be out until November, after he damaged ankle ligaments in training during the week, whilst Wilson Odebert, Dejan Kulusevski and Xavi Simons also remain sidelined.

Some good news for De Zerbi is that James Madison is rated at 75% fitness, and he'll face a late test to determine how much of a part he'll play in the game.

For Everton, only Christian Norgaard remains out of action, with James Garner having recovered from the cramp in his thigh that initially threatened his participation in this game.

I think it was issues off the pitch in terms of, you know, he lost his father at that time and he was out the door.

And then, yeah, and they bring in De Zerbi then towards the latter end of last season.

He ultimately gets their heads above water just about.

But, yeah.

He didn't even have to do

much, did he, De Zerbi, when he first came in? In the sense of how many points he had to pick up because teams around them were just losing anyway.

I know it was, inevitably, it came down to kind of them and West Ham, wasn't it? Yeah.

And even us against West Ham, we were poor, weren't we? Yeah.

Weird stuff going on.

It does feel like they've safeguarded themselves a bit till De Zerbi kind of blows up and leaves.

Yeah.

He

No.

And Bergvall openly said he wanted to leave.

I reckon someone above De Zerbi has said, look, This guy doesn't tend to last.

Give us another couple of years and we'll sort it out.

Pakistan are currently 360 for eight and now 40 runs ahead of England.

Spurs

and De Zerbi because he's just experimenting with the team at this point.

I mean, he started Conor Gallagher that last game and I was like, why did you buy Tonali and Mateus Fernandes if you are going to bench one every other week and start somebody else? That

has looked abysmal.
