Didn't happen under Sarri either. Last happened in December 2017 under Conte. Was also the last time we kept 4 straight clean sheets in the league. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think the fact Zouma is again just back from a wee knock/injury, people are reading too much into it. Rudiger was poor tonight but thought Andreas was alright and Azpi was consistent as usual.

NikkiCFC 5,759 Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 (edited) Since TT is our coach: Chelsea 10 points Aston Villa 6 Liverpool 6 Leicester 5 Man. Utd 5 Everton 5 Arsenal 4 Spurs 3 He got us from 10th place to 5th after 10 days! And looking at table I think it is in our hands to finish 2nd.

kobematabryant 397 Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Our most hated manager since Benitez, yet has transformed our performances and is continuously getting the results. Our only mistake is not hiring him sooner. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tomo 20,224 Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 The most pleasing thing so far is he isn't shoehorning Kante back in. 3 minutes ago, kobematabryant said: Our most hated manager since Benitez, Really? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I love the guy and I'm sure most do, but there's a good amount of our fanbase wishing Tuchel fails because of Lampard and they don't rate him highly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Have seen that too and I don't think they are thinking straight TBH. They are so emotionally attached to Lampard that the club is Frank Lampard FC and not Chelsea FC. Unlike Benitez, Tuchel has no history of talking shit about us etc and he shouldn't be getting hate just because the club were the ones that decided to sack Lampard and sign Tuchel. Whether Tuchel will succeed long term remains to be seen but am at least feeling more positive about our chances to achieve something now than I did under Lampard. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think they did, maybe a small minority but most didn't. It's more the media that targeted him, Redknapp's comments especially were outrageous. Even the most angry reaction (the creators of "the circus continues" banner) made it clear there's no ill will to Tuchel and are behind him. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fully agree with you mate, I love the way how TT has changed the atmosphere in the squad, it's clear evidence that something was wrong with Lamps as a coach. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We're probably experiencing the new manager bounce. Just you wait till things go wrong and people start complaining again! 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just you wait till things go wrong and people start complaining again! Tbf this is probably the first time we've had a proper mid season new manager bounce in the league since Hiddink 1.0. Hiddink 2.0 i guess you could say but that was more by default than anything else, while RDM rallied us in the cup (understatement) in the league there was no real improvemeng from what we saw under AVB. Rafa improved our shape but there was no immediate results upturn. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rafa improved our shape but there was no immediate results upturn. It's probably similar to Hiddink 1.0 but with Tuchel, I feel like there's a bit both. We get the new manager bounce and we also get a manager that now implements a proper system and more sustainable playing style. We still aren't perfect and we still have some flaws but Tuchel now at least gives us a chance to achieve something, rather than the freestyle, hit-and-hope football we saw under Lampard. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Feck these lot then. Seriously feck them. They aren't Chelsea fans. They are wishing Tuchel fails? If he fails then what? Are they stupid to think we will suddenly hire Lampard back or something? It's not Tuchel's fault that Lampard failed as a coach. I am not a fan of Tuchel myself, but they need to grow up. If Tuchel fails, Chelsea fails numbskulls.

whats happening 1,111 Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 wonder if him integrating jorginho, alonso and rudiger back in to the team has something to do with him trying to get the veterans on his side from the beginning... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Those plastic cunts can go choke on a bag of dicks. No true Chels fan would ever wish the team fails. 10 quid says those same twats were leading the shit-on-Lampard charge of the light brigade when we lost. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
