Blue Armour 4,448 Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 I will admit though, while the sacking of Tuchel is questionable, the fact that Boehly is approaching Potter first, instead of more 'obvious' options, indicates that he is very observant of the game and not a complete novice like the pundits make him out to be. Either him or whoever is advising him. bigbluewillie and Costa19 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Armour 4,448 Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Hope Potter, if he joins, doesn't turn into another Ragnick or AVB type appointment. Coaches with good reputations as tacticians, but with no experience managing big players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cosmicway 1,333 Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 (edited) I have pinpointed the weakness. It's slow motion football and it's not the fault of Ziyech or Sterling as such when they find space to take a shot once in a blue moon. We had this problem under Mou even in the championship season 2014-15. Also during Conte's second season and lately under Lampard-Tuchel. Eden Hazard's departure made things more difficult. I don't know if a new manager will solve it in the coming weeks or months. Edited September 8, 2022 by cosmicway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robsblubot 3,595 Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Ruthlessness is when we want to make harsh stupid decisions sound cool and edgy. Still makes no sense to upend work over and over again… sorry if you don’t see that then you don’t really know how “football” is made. the most successful clubs in the world simply do not roll that way. And that’s for a very good reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artandur 939 Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 (edited) We've basically been on a nearly constant downhill slope for more than a season now, with barely any signs of progress. To be honest we've probably been playing our worst football we've played under TT these last few games. Obviously its always a gamble to sack a generally beloved manager, who achieved sth with the club, and we'll just have to wait and see how it turns out. But calling the decision rash or unwarranted i can't subscribe to, considering the trend we're on and the time we've been on it already.

Popular Post! Seymop 90 Posted September 8, 2022 Popular Post! Share Posted September 8, 2022 Not that it matters now, but the demise of Tuchel seemed to coincide with him splitting from his wife. I know there were other things going on at the club, but whoever you are it’s difficult to concentrate on your job when your personal life is in turmoil . Really not sure Potter is the answer, but he might at least get us going forwards instead of backwards or sideways !!!

And that’s for a very good reason. The most successful clubs tend to play their way out of issues and it doesn't look this bad and disjointed game after game after game. I really did think that the writing was on the wall after that horrid performance vs Southampton (like it was the same team that huffed & puffed against United but they couldn't do anything and they literally walked through our defense like they were wearing an invisibility cloak!) Wonder if Tuchel's overall relationship with his 'attackers'....Pulisic, Ziyech, Werner all frustrated, Lukaku showing off his ego, Havertz being allergic to finishing...ended up costing him his job.

Superblue 6,372 Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Biggest concern with Graham Potter is that lack of experience at the top level. He's clearly a very good coach and everything I've read and heard about him suggests he's one of the best around with regards to his man management and instilling confidence and belief in his players. I just worry a little bit if we find ourselves in a race for the top 4, or even a title challenge, it's an alien position for him. We as a club have been so used to a plethora of top name, experienced managers who can fall back on their own previous experiences. Even in the case of Lampard, whilst he didn't have those experiences as a manager he could at least still call on his experiences in those situations as a player. No doubts in my mind, if this was the old ownership then Poch or Zidane would be well above Potter in the wanted list. It is something we will need to be prepared for as Potter has absolutely no experience throughout his playing or managerial career of these top level situations. Arsenal have experienced similar with Arteta (who at the very least had a top level playing career himself and experience as a coach under Pep) and are having to trust a process which besides an FA Cup win hasn't bore the fruit they desire yet. As I said previously I'm intrigued whether Potter can take that step and I'm intrigued on how the ownership structures us in the future and supports him. Hopefully it's the start of something great but it is definitely a huge move away from what we've been accustomed to for the last couple of decades.
