The Tuchel Thread

Can anyone give me a reasonable argument as to why Pulisic was dropped at half time?

Seems like subbing him off wasn't part of the plan...

FFS he injured himself again?! Like that?!

[Milan 17,955]

Remember Burnley a couple of months back? He injured himself in the warm up when he slipped. Now this. A fucking travesty.

Ah now it makes sense.

He should have brought Havertz on for Pulisic and switched to a back 4. 

Werener off.. 

Odoi on to create width and have Havertz down the middle.

Make me manager.. .I'd fucking clip any player at the first sign of not performing against the shit teams we lose to.

Our Premier League record this season:

VS Top Half teams
under Lampard - W2 D2 L5 = 8 pts
under Tuchel - W3 D2 = 11 pts

VS Bottom Half teams
under Lampard - W6 D3 L1 = 21 pts
under Tuchel - W3 D2 L1 = 11 pts

Not every team have played yet this weekend...so, the stat may not reflect the table accurately but only 2 teams' position can be switched around - Leeds and Villa. If Villa win tonight, then that stat looks like this instead:

VS Top Half teams
under Lampard - W1 D3 L5 = 6 pts
under Tuchel - W3 D1 = 10 pts

VS Bottom Half teams
under Lampard - W7 D2 L1 = 23 pts
under Tuchel - W3 D3 L1 = 12 pts

Either way, our results against the better and worse teams seem to have gone in the opposite direction since Tuchel took over. We're better against top half sides now but have gotten worse against the bottom half sides.

We shouldn't kid our selves. We are still pretty much a 4th-7th place team riding out with an experienced manager. 

Conte 2.0

Fans on another forum are already wondering if TT will be here next season  if we fail to finish top four or win the CL?

I think our chances are now very slim and  more likely to finish 6th or 7th, which is probably where we'd have finished if Lampard had stayed.

I have no doubt RA will see that as a significant failure by TT, so what next?  Unfortunately, RA still thinks quick fix changes of managers will get us back up there, like it use to do. Not gonna work anymore! Long-term rebuild or forget about winning the title!

Unless we completely lose the plot and results go south in these last few weeks of the season, sacking Tuchel just because we don't get Top 4 would be a fucking stupid decision from the board...again. 

Yes, Tuchel was brought in to revitalize our Top 4 challenge but he was also brought in because Lampard didn't have a clue what to do with the team at all. Tuchel has already shown the opposite and given the team a solid platform at the very least to compete properly. Have the problems been solved? No. It's ridiculous to just expect a manager coming midway through a season to just solve all the problems, especially with basically no training time between games.

On top of that, this team isn't a team at its peak or a team that can pilot itself regardless of chopping and changing of managers like during the Terry, Cech, Lampard, Drogba etc days. This team is a work in progress. We need to stop fucking about with all these changes and go with the process for once, especially when we have a proper coach in place instead of a novice.

Those rival fans can go spit, they know we will do much better next season under TT so they are scared. And if you believe RA will sack TT cuz we didnt get top4 then your mental, surely the man deserves next season. We will do good under TT, he cant bloody fix everything in one go. Look at Poch at PSG.
