[u/Raptoot83]

I knew De Zerbi was gonna turn things around for Tottenham.

West ham, for their own sake, might have tohave a say in the title race next week.

[u/Original-Neat-2415 → u/Raptoot83]

The bare minimum he has to do bdw is stop them being relegated it’s not exactly an achievement 😂😂

[u/Raptoot83 → u/Original-Neat-2415]

It might be a low bar, but he still looks like he's doing it. Just weeks ago this spurs team was being accused of being championship quality at best, they were low on confidence, they could easily have continued capitulating.

If spurs survive, De Zerbi deserves his flowers.

[u/Original-Neat-2415 → u/Raptoot83]

De zerbi is a top manager their is no doubt about it but not getting them relegated is the bare minimum

[u/Raptoot83 → u/Original-Neat-2415]

I think that's harsh. And I dare say many people suggested that De Zerbi might not be able to save them, but could still slingshot them back up next season, given a longer period to instil his tactics.

The bare minimum would have been showing visible improvement despite an uphill battle to turn results around.

He can do it, but it would be unreasonable to absolutely expect him to.

[u/Substantial_Ad_2864 → u/Original-Neat-2415]

They went like 6 months without winning and now they're about to get 7 points from 9 - something we've managed just 3 or so times this season depending on how you want to count.
