Enzo - where would we be?

[bovril]

I reckon we'd have about six more points, perhaps more if he'd avoided the injuries we've recently had.

 

We'll never know of course but I think it is seriously unlikely we would be where we are now. Even if you don't accept Maresca is a very good coach, just the continuity would be worth a few more decent results.

[Danno]

Probably about six-nine points better off. Recruitment would probably have been a lot better, and who knows, a couple of decent upgrades from the Championship season and we might’ve been alright, rather than signing Skipp, Reid, & Ayew

I think we would be hovering around the bottom 3. I think he's been massively overrated at Chelsea this season too, has he improved Chelsea? yes, even most people who wanted him out admitted they wanted him out because his football just can't work with our players without spending 150m+ on quality, I fully expected him to improve Chelsea, and he's now without a win in 5 with one of the biggest squads to choose from in the division and having spent 240m on players, and now wants to spend another 100m+ if rumours are true whilst 13 points off top. 
He's not as good as everyone thought he was. 

With that said, he can still prove me wrong over time obviously, and I will say, I fully believe if he was manager, our squad would be far better balanced and we would have signed better players, I believe he would have quickly replaced JJ as backup to Ricardo, and Kristiansen would have been moved on and replaced with a better Left Back because we know Kristiansen didn't want to play his inverted role, He likely would have signed a CB instead of Skipp considering the fact he doesn't fancy Coady. 
So I think we would be in a similar position trying to play Enzoball, but I think Ruud would now be inheriting a better squad than the one Cooper left.

It was JJ, Kristiansen, Faes and Vesty. 

I thought Evans and Amartey were the second CBs

[Stadt]

His plan A would be enough. Palace and Fulham were hardly impressive, I think we probably take 4 points from those two.

[Clever Fox]

Enzo is an elite Coach, With better signings than Cooper brought in, Enzo would have us midtable at least.

[Izzy]

About 10th

 

Don't underestimate the impact on the players when Enzo left. I think they loved him.

[TheUltimateWinner]

All incredibly hypothetical 

 

However, it was said he had been given more power than Rudkin wanted and had won a lot of battles in that area before he left

 

Id like to think our summer recruitment would’ve been a lot better and given us a far better chance of staying up 

[Aleksz]

Mid table. Wouldn’t have dropped over 40m on Skipp, Ayew and Okoli. Would have probably took 4 points from this week.

Considering he's only taken 2 points from 3 games against those teams with a much better Chelsea squad, I highly doubt that.

And got replaced with someone totally emotionless compared to his obvious love for the game.

Probably still in a scrap but recruitment would have been better as it would fit the team, and as frustrating as it might be, you'd feel confident of actually winning games.

Those two teams set up differently against Chelsea precisely because of the better squad.

 

Recruiting for/under Enzo would be better too. No way would he green light dossers like Skipp, BDCR, Ayew.

[shilton_fox]

Losing Enzo and KDH had a huge effect on the morale  around the club this summer. I think Enzo would have had us more competitive and tactically astute. Don’t feel like the summer transfer window would have been as much of a disaster too.

Nonsense. Recruitment was ****** for the whole summer because of the possibility of a PSR points deduction. We couldn't even get Sensi in for him last January. I've absolutely no doubt we'd still be bottom 3 with Enzo.

[Chrysalis]

Still seems to be some fairy tale dreams going on, to show how big the gap is, to the league Enzo managed us in last season, lets look at the QPR result.

[-sodapop]

I dont know how we make PSR without selling him and KDH.
