The reason Zidane & Pep hit the ground running was largely down to how well they knew their respective clubs, which is why I'm an advocate of Terry, Lamps or Drogba joining the club in a managerial capacity in the near future. Emery was brought in by PSG to win or get to the latter stages of a competition he had never done well in, so the expectations were well above his pay grade from the start. The board/Roman are now just appointing "Yes men" and they are the ones who get the chop when things go south as a result. Only manager that seemed to have full control during his tenure was Mourinho when he first joined. I've been saying for long enough that the structure of the board needs to change immediately if we want long term success instead of what we've been experiencing over the last few years. The club doesn't seem to have any plan or identity which is detrimental.

Think it just goes to show there is almost no value in the market now

He got West Bromwich promoted and won two trophies within two months (can diminish the achievements as much as the next person but he was in charge). Appointing Tuchel would be in the hope he could do something notable, as he's only won the DFB Pokal in 7 years. He'd be a bigger gamble than Enrique & that's saying something.

I didn't realise it was an 18 month deal. Hope whoever's in charge in the summer gets rid of 20+ players at the very least.

We still own Baba as well

They'll probably interchange but we should be doing the double especially with Kane (their best player by some margin) out of the picture.

Only leaves Real, but they seem to have their sights on other targets (Salah, Neymar & even Kane).

We knew after the first few weeks of the season that his finishing was lacking despite a handful of goals against the likes of Burnley, Stoke, etc. Have to give him props for not being a static CF, so our lack of creative isn't as evident with him leading the line. Talk of Icardi coming to the club shouldn't even be up for discussion if a WC playmaker isn't added to our ranks in the summer. Cesc used to fill that quota but he's clearly past it to be a regular.

The Arsenal away game alone was bad enough

I'm sure he won't be starting and they'll field Alli as their vocal point instead.

Kane supposedly out till late April/May at the very least, so that's a massive boost in itself.

Our current team would be the issue. Can't expect a CF to thrive with one or two creative players. He'd be a hit at City but isn't Pep's type of player. He's a poacher. We've seen this season alone that it's better to have someone that makes runs instead of doing his job to the majority here.

They have to play us, Stoke & City within 13 days. Going into that set of fixtures alone with Kane could see their Top 4 hopes in tatters. Main thing for us to worry about at this point is winning our remaining home games at the very least.

Nice to see him finally get on the scoresheet in 2018. Still lacked alot in his performance today

He's just out of his depth. One proper season as a starter shouldn't have been enough to sway the board.

Got Southampton

Kante was exceptional. Still in the hunt for silverware

Moses with his contribution for the day

Killer instinct that Hazard only dreams to have

He might not here but he's been slated everywhere else. Not even defending well today

Ok. Hope it's minor

Wrong winger has been replaced

Get Pedro & a WB on

We have overplayed since he came on. No idea why

Hazard & Moses still on the pitch. Conte not making changes when needed
