The Tuchel Thread

[Mário César 1,231]

in fact, we've a easy upcoming games but 13 points its a big difference... if was 7 or 6 points I believe that we could fight till the end but with 13 points its impossible

Yes. Yes it is.

To put it bluntly, although mathematically it wasn’t (and still isn’t) quite over, since City went 6 points clear of us in December, it was as good as over in all likelihood. Or so I felt. I mean City now are what 13 clear again, if they win the game they’ve got on us? They aren’t dropping that many points in that position. No way.

If you look at our draws v United, Burnley and Everton especially around that period when City went 6 clear and then the other draws since, it is going to be nearly impossible to win the title, even if we win 90% of those games. We need to just focus on our own games too and take care of them as they come ws opposed to thinking City play team X or Y lets hope they do us a favour. I mean if City drop a lot of points, they drop a lot of points but thats a massive if and it isn’t as if we are exactly flying just now either so wouldn’t get overly excited.

Also never mind City, Liverpool have 2 games in hand on us and can go up to 54 points if they take all 6 points from them. We need to really not lose sight of them as opposed to City right now because we can maybe catch them if we get our shit together. 

Obviously most of our remaining fixtures are favourable which maybe does give people optimism and a chance to get a lot of points but in our current 8 league draws we have 2 v Brighton, 1 v Everton, 1 v Wolves and 1 v Burnley. Thats 5 points taken from 15 which we all would of been expected to get. 100%. So nothing is a given. 

Again, smaller teams have caused us more of an issue than bigger teams this season.

In view of the program until the spring, if we improve our form, I think we can even finish second in certain circumstances.

Simon Phillips reporting the attackers at the club have shown a distrust and are unsettled by Tuchel given how he treats them. They second guess their decisions and don't trust their instincts. Suggestions he is "too brutal" with them and at times selects lineup 'based on emotion'.

What? 

Against top10 teams on table we have 4 wins in 13 games. Arsenal, Spurs x2 and Leicester. 

Against teams from 11th to 20th place we have 9 wins and 2 draws in 11 games.

City lost 12 points in 23 games. Even if we win all games we would not finish over them. When they win their game in hand they are 13 points over us with 14 games to go. 

[Mário César 1,231]

they need to lost 4 matches in 14 games and draw one game.

in the othet hand, we need to win all remaing games...

its impossible. no way

The Athletic reported it, not Simon Phillips. It's in the article BF shared hours ago.

Said smaller clubs, not top 10 or bottom 10 clubs. Our record v the big sides (Liverpool, City, United, Arsenal, Spurs) since TT took over has significantly improved from before. We’ve still dropped points v the Evertons, Brightons, Wolves etc.
