Clockwork

Florian Wirtz, is a perfect fit for Pep system. Can see him being Bernardo Silva long term replacement.

I don’t know if Potter is the solution, but I knew Tuchel was not for a while. Give Potter some time, I like the fact he is not rigid as Tuchel.

I think i like the approach of hiring a coach then have him in the decison of hiring a technical director, allows the coach a full backing, and allows them to be on the same page.

Biggest concern is teams didn’t play against Brighton in a low block, that would be the norm against Chelsea.

Give Boehly a chance, give him the opportunity to run the club like he envisioned when he bought the club. Tuchel was never going to be the long term manager here, not only is he not good enough but more importantly he was not chosen by the new ownership. What did you guys expect? Tuchel was always going to end up just like every manager Roman hired. He did his job, thank you for the CL.

We get it you want the Glazers like ownership.

Bravo TB, Tuchel had an immediate spark and was a great hire at the time. But it was clear as of last season, that he peaked and his trajectory was only going down. seriously if Tuchel wasn’t fired today, how else would have this ended? The only thing we would have seen is rock bottom. He wasn't capable of turning this around.

Get over it Tuchel is not as good of a manager as some you think he is. People forget that he needed Leicester to bottle it very badly for him to secure a top 4. He is headed toward the RDM route, manage a few German clubs and get sacked. Complete obscurity. Neither is Rudigar, his form dipped toward the end of last season. He would have not changed anything. If you want to know what he would have looked like, just look at Mendy. People forget he was here for 5 years, only remember less than 12 months of his club football. Key word club because the regular Rudigar is average with German NT.

I thought you would be happy that Tuchel is gone?

I am not surprised, just like Maina, Buck, Cech, etc were let go. I imagined Boehly also wanted his own manager. I think Tuchel was a better fit for the old regime, virtually every manager they hired was with the view of short term. Tuchel was no exception, he was no team builder. I am not sure about Potter, hope we don’t hire him because he is readily available.

Luis Enrique would be my top choice, wait after the World Cup.

I am not a reactionary person, I was very critical of Tuchel before the season even started. Living off a CL run.

How about Luis Enrique? He pretty much did what Pep did at Barca but with a better winning percentage.

Sarri was playing good football by the end of the season, he just needed a few more players. His trajectory was up, Tuchel trajectory has been down for a while.

Mendy is still starting lol.

Sarri was building that, we improved by the end of the year. He just needed better FB than Azpi and Alonso. We are losing to Leeds and Southampton, can’t convince me that is okay with the players we have.

Better #6 than Gallagher, has performed every time called upon.

Tuchel is weird guy, when he has low trust in some players the first bad game they will be on the bench for a long time. If he favors a player, it doesn’t matter how bad they get they will still be starting. One person who we have not talked about is Mendy, he has been terrible for a while now.

Mount, Gallagher, RLC, and James were all out position. You could argue also Havertz too since he was CAM at Bayer.

Tuchel needs to go, he did his job winning the CL and grateful for that like RDM. Since then his teams looked worse and worse.

Sterling has not looked better either if we are being honest.

Funny thing with the same players it is an easy fix. If you play 4-3-3 everyone would be at their best position.

i am with you @OhForAGreavsie, I don’t see anything special about Leao. what is your thoughts on Antony? Tough one imo, I see some very good traits but I also see him being very one footed and one trick pony cutting inside from the right.

Kinda irrelevant since a new contract and wages are agreed when they join a new club. definitely think we got bamboozled with Werner, think about we sold him to closer what we we got for Emerson.

How so? By making us look even more desperate that we will turn our attention to Harry Slabhead? Leicester are probably raising their bid.
