The Tuchel Thread

With Potter we will have to be very very patient. I hope all are aware of this. Maybe it even means a few years without CL football.

It's simple very simple, all the old staff have pretty much gone the last one of the old regime was the manager, he's now also gone! Was always going to happen at some point, same with any business that changes owner ship out staff they didn't employ.

That's far more plausible. 👍

Well, let's be aware, that historically, since +\- Vialli, so modern football of sorts, our managers win rate was 55%, give or take 5%, with TT having one of the highest ratios. We can't sack a manager and replace half of the squad every time we start loosing, for god's sake. 

Especially when it's burdened with same problem as players - no clearly better replacement available, more of same stuff, but different and more expensive. 

Completely agree and it dangerously empowers players further.... good luck to the next manager.

Last season from April to the end of the season TT win % had dropped to 44%

Very predictable due to the many ongoing things, including key players singing pre-contracts. Once again, things don't happen in a vacuum nor was it all down to the manager (who was more like a coach).

Does anyone believe Rudiger was giving his 100% after signing a pre-contract with Madrid? I don't.

Potter's first ECL game is at home to Salzberg, should be his first win in Europe🙄

Potter has European experience.

Potter started his managerial career in January 2011 with Swedish club Östersund. He won three promotions and the Svenska Cupen with Östersund, leading them to the 2017–18 UEFA Europa League knockout stage.

Call it Austrian bias but Salzburg will be a bigger struggle for us than Milan. Their biggest strength is our biggest weakness.

Fair play to potter big decision for him. Shows his ambition

I am actually pretty excited about the Potter appointment. I would not feel the same way about Poch, so hopefully this is the start of something special.

Same this appointment ticks all the boxes with what TB said he was going to do change the club. If we appointed poch that's clearly a sign of he wants instant results, the potter signing shows he's willing to build the club.

I do. Dear Thomas, how come when the opposition attack us they always have 2 unmarked players in the box.  We never have that the other way around, no matter what team we play. Surely there must be a solution to be found, it was the same half of last season and this season as well. We couldn't carry on like that forever 🤔
