How is this man still employed?

We shouldn't have sacked Thomas Tuchel, he was our Phil Jackson and we let him go smh.

We finally have good management again for the first time in a long time.

We finally have good management again for the first time in a long time.

I hope Tuchel signs a new contract soon, he came in and saved our season.

If CHO leaves then serious questions need to be asked of Sarri considering how Willian and Pedro have been so inconsistent this season, CHO always looks lively when he gets the chance to shine compared to them who can go missing or just look uninterested, players should be picked on merit instead of experience, don't get me started on Willian's corners! at least he finally put in a good one against Cardiff.

he is more suited for his position than kante.

Morata is the better player no shadow of a doubt. Lukaku just wins the mental side of things which is where Morata collapses. 

classy from Sarri, but the media will end up twisting it somehow, its just in their nature to stir things and make people look bad just because it sells, fuck them

the journos always try to stir the pot with their questions, but Sarri was cool with his replies and it needs to stay that way, just dont take those cunts bait

On if Hazard will start
"I don't know. I think Eden is ready for 50-60 minutes, not for 90, but he can start. He wants to play and I think that is the right way for him to think, but I have to think for everybody."
On if Eden is staying
"I think so. Because I'm a coach of a very good team and a team like that cannot sell such a player without finding a replacement. So I think Hazard will stay with us for this season."
On RLC not being in the squad against Arsenal
"It was only a decision based on me wanting to put wingers on the bench.I've spoken with him twice this week after I spoke with the club so I think RLC will remain with us. We can speak again for his situation but only in December."
On if he's thinking about switching to a 5-defender system
"No, I'm not able to play with 5 defenders. Because we are trying to defend by looking only at the ball. 5 defenders is not my way."
On Gary Cahill
"I think at this moment it's a lot difficult for a defender to play in my team. After only 20 days of training, it's easier for offensive players to get into the team. At this moment I think he needs to have more defensive training with us. I told him he needs to be patient, he's very important to us."
On the Premier League
"In Italy, it's a war before the game and party during the game and if you are 2-0 up the match is finished. Here it's the opposite. "
On if he was working defensively this week
"Every week. We are working defensively every week. I'm not worried about the defensive phase because when I arrive in a new team I always have a problem with the defensive phase for 3 months. I have very intelligent players and I think they will be able to do it very well in 1-2 months"
On Kovacic
"I think Mateo and Eden played very well in the last 30 minutes. I think at that moment the intensity was going down. Like Eden, he's ready for 50-60 minutes. I like him very much so I hope he'll remain here in the future"

I've just finished listening to Sarri's presser and I loved it. He is so calm and clear with his answers. He's not avoiding any question, he gives realistic quotes and seems to be difficult to irritate. 
Nice stuff. 

Alonso is great technically. Hes good on the ball, pretty fast making decisions, great with his headers, can take a wicked free kick and throw in the odd bicycle kick  - a good forward!.
But I see  Alonsos problems are a part of who he is - his speed (or lack of) and his unawareness. And its too late to make him faster and being aware is something you either have or you haven't IMHO
But theres a real lack of good LBs. I'd obvious;y kill for Telles BUT of course that will be bloody difficult so I’d look into getting Shaw with his contract situation. If by any chance the Manc twats don’t extend his contract, then I’d jump all over him on a free. He's fast - loads of pace. He’s great offensively, Got a decent pass. a good cross like Alonso with the addition of being a defender. His problems like Alonso is discipline and positioning which are things that can be worked on (just like they can on Alonso) But hes got the speed, awareness and defending that Alonso hasn't got.
But just as we saw in the 2nd half against the north London team once we press and defend as a unit the Alonso speed issue isn't that big of an issue is it!
 

He is good at scoring goals but defense very woeful. 
Well under Sarri we will be attacking more so that might offset some of his weaknesses... 

I would actually have to disagree there Iggy and say he actually has to stick to his principles if he's planning on going down this route, even if it means a few thumpings, Gary Neville made a point of while at Valencia the beggining of the end for him came in a match where he scrapped the philosophy he was trying to implement and played more basic stuff, the players instantly got back into a comfort zone and didn't really listen to him after that. The Derby squad are still channelled in Rowett ball (which from what i have read makes Pulis's style look open and expansive) it's going to take a while to drum that out of the squad and if he says fuck it and reverts to Rowetts style even for a brief period, the players will mentally get comfortable again and it will spell curtains for what he's trying to do.
AVB with us is another example, for all the critics of his high line, it was reverting to the previous few gaffers tactics to get those results vs Valencia and City that ultimately saw to him. Although we won the CL thanks to it, winning it with a squad that flawed was a once in a lifetime anomaly.

It's time for Conte to wake up, Emerson needs to start! Alonso is a good backup but he's not dynamic enough, Drinkwater + Kante is a title winning midfield but Conte completely ignores that for Fabregas for some reason, luckily they didn't really put too much pressure on the midfield or it could have been worse.

I said it before and I'll say it again - if he makes no changes to the team that has embarrassed us all 2018 long, then he deserves all the shit he gets. Well, it was same old against West Ham again and of course the result was expected, how do you expect anything else from these same piss weak players who have proven themselves to be choke artists? Conte is fucking stupid. Get rid.

Has brought it all on himself. Im rapidly losing my backing for him. I'd have loved him to stay and be backed, but its not happening

your 100 % I think we are the only team in the PL this season  to play three and  at the back and wing backs we need a new formation 

That's what's crazy we were talking bout 2nd at one stage then weeeeeeee down we went quickly. 

You can all blame the board all you like... Yes they are absolutely pathetic and moronic... But I won't forgive Conte for making us finish below Arsenal in 6th position when we were comfortable in 3rd position before January...
