if Tuchel adds the Premier League title this season + CL after less than 2 years at the helm, he can be declared a god

Liverpool v Chelsea next week is already an absolutely massive game in the title race.

First part yes!

2nd part, it's not "an absolutey massive game in the title race" a big game yes and I can see us winning it, but any indication about who's going to win the league nah.

What I like about him is even at full time, despite the circumstances and his praise of the team to the media, you can see he still wants more.

And tactically, would say that again, another big game, another good showing. The second half, you can see the intensity and desire he’s instilled in the players to defend and be solid. I mean someone said tactically and as a coach in general he is better than Conte a while ago and I felt it was too early but I think he so far 3 games in this season (4 including the Super Cup) after a pre season which wasn’t necessarily easy due to the Euros, there are clear indications this team can go and win the league.

Maybe getting excited but I just get the feeling that we can and will be right up there. Yesterday proved that. Sarri or Frank’s teams would of crumbled and conceded a second goal. Even Conte’s second season we probably lose that.

Completely agree, yesterday just emphasised how solid and organised we are defensively both individually and as a unit. We are being coached phenomenally right now.

We didn't even concede a "big chance" in that second half yesterday. Survived the initial onslaught with the home crowd baying and after the first 15 - 20 minutes of that second half Liverpool looked to have run out of ideas and on another day we might have nicked a smash and grab goal ourselves. 

There seems to be a real tough mentality about the group that Tuchel has instilled. It might not be the most exciting aspect, but our defensive strength is critical on building towards a title push. If the attacking boys, and in particular Lukaku, can get the goals this season we'll be right up there. It's starting to feel a little like the early Jose days where if we get a goal early it'll break teams spirit because they'll know how hard it is to get back into the game from there.

Been a forum member for years mate. The thing is, ironically enough, I made my name this when Salah rejected Rodgers and Liverpool to come here under Jose from Basel.

Was accused of being a Salah lover over Hazard 2 or 3 seasons on here over this though but cant be bothered changing it 🤣

These are also established and respected members of the forum, so it's easier probably for them to keep their username as people already know them for that such name on here.

I'd much prefer to read a coherent and interesting post then worrying about what that person's username is. Maybe that should be food for thought for yourself?

I am just too lazy to change it/request to change it. I see the funny side of it too.. and the irony as well as annoyance when he scores against us.

Not sure what being British or not being British has to do with anything. Potentially derail the thread or lead to a petty argument about a flag on a forum when really we should be talking about Thomas Tuchel and the good work he is doing.
