The Tuchel Thread

[bigbluewillie 1,930]

Can someone tell me why English managers are shit, apart from Potter?

There's not been a decent one since Cloughie and Bob Paisley, so what's that 30 40 years.

English mangers have been, and still are a joke, compared to the rest of Europe.

Confidence comes from good fitness and results. It's difficult to feel confident when you lose most 50/50s and the opposition is fitter.

The team did not work hard enough and isn't prepared well enough and I have a good idea about the reasons for that. Sacking Tuchel was ridiculous to me.... is Pep or Klopp avail by chance?

WTF! 

First time I'm against sacking a manager after poor results, then he is sacked. 💀

Are you going to create a new terminator avatar for Todd?

New owner spent a lot of money on players that Tuchel asked, sold players Tuchel wanted out...6 days after transfer window closed, this same manger was sacked. 

As I said before, right now the club lacks short, med and long term view. Even for Chelsea standards, the timig of this sacking doesnt make any sense.

Get over it Tuchel is not as good of a manager as some you think he is. People forget that he needed Leicester to bottle it very badly for him to secure a top 4.

He is headed toward the RDM route, manage a few German clubs and get sacked. Complete obscurity. 

Neither is Rudigar, his form dipped toward the end of last season. He would have not changed anything. If you want to know what he would have looked like, just look at Mendy. People forget he was here for 5 years, only remember less than 12 months of his club football. Key word club because the regular Rudigar is average with German NT.

First one. Much love for Reece. What a guy.

And that was down to Tuchel, playing players out of position, fucking formations that didn't suit.

Don't get me wrong I liked Tommy but he had totally lost it.

Bravo TB, Tuchel had an immediate spark and was a great hire at the time. But it was clear as of last season, that he peaked and his trajectory was only going down.

seriously if Tuchel wasn’t fired today, how else would have this ended? The only thing we would have seen is rock bottom. He wasn't capable of turning this around.

Havertz at LW. Mount and Gallagher in the pivot. Sterling as a false 9. Players being overplayed. Him not fixing, and quite honestly contempt, with the lethargic slow possession play for what seems like years. 

He's undoubtedly lost it. It's a shame though as he steered us through absolute shit last season.

The only plausible explanation is that Boehly is terrified of us missing out on top 4 and made a crazy decision super early rather than waiting until it’s too late. All these reporters saying the Dinamo result didn’t play into this but I disagree. I think it was the final straw for Boehly who was in attendance and watched the shitshow we also saw. After 6 out of 7 of the matches we’ve played were abysmal, to lose to a side we should have dominated in pathetic fashion was the death blow. The problems started in preseason and just continued. So Todd probably thought he needed to do something drastic.

I don’t buy this “there has always been tension and unease in the relationship” stuff. Tuchel has always praised Boehly and as recently as a few days ago was over the moon with gratitude that he was provided with Auba and Fofana.

This was Boehly thinking to himself “oh shit, I just spent £270m and we could miss out on CL revenue. We have to stop the rot ASAP.”

I was at work when I read about that news.  I am absolutely speechless. 2 months ago it looked like Tuchel would be our manager for at least 5 more years.

Thank you for everything Tuchel. Already a Chelsea legend.
