Milan 17,964 Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Remember Burnley a couple of months back? He injured himself in the warm up when he slipped. Now this. A fucking travesty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDA 9,985 Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 He should have brought Havertz on for Pulisic and switched to a back 4. Werener off.. Odoi on to create width and have Havertz down the middle. Make me manager.. .I'd fucking clip any player at the first sign of not performing against the shit teams we lose to.

Jase 43,479 Posted April 4, 2021 Author Share Posted April 4, 2021 Our Premier League record this season: VS Top Half teams under Lampard - W2 D2 L5 = 8 pts under Tuchel - W3 D2 = 11 pts VS Bottom Half teams under Lampard - W6 D3 L1 = 21 pts under Tuchel - W3 D2 L1 = 11 pts Not every team have played yet this weekend...so, the stat may not reflect the table accurately but only 2 teams' position can be switched around - Leeds and Villa. If Villa win tonight, then that stat looks like this instead: VS Top Half teams under Lampard - W1 D3 L5 = 6 pts under Tuchel - W3 D1 = 10 pts VS Bottom Half teams under Lampard - W7 D2 L1 = 23 pts under Tuchel - W3 D3 L1 = 12 pts Either way, our results against the better and worse teams seem to have gone in the opposite direction since Tuchel took over. We're better against top half sides now but have gotten worse against the bottom half sides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoroccanBlue 5,384 Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 We shouldn't kid our selves. We are still pretty much a 4th-7th place team riding out with an experienced manager. Conte 2.0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chippy 342 Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Fans on another forum are already wondering if TT will be here next season if we fail to finish top four or win the CL? I think our chances are now very slim and more likely to finish 6th or 7th, which is probably where we'd have finished if Lampard had stayed. I have no doubt RA will see that as a significant failure by TT, so what next? Unfortunately, RA still thinks quick fix changes of managers will get us back up there, like it use to do. Not gonna work anymore! Long-term rebuild or forget about winning the title! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post! Jase 43,479 Posted April 4, 2021 Author Popular Post! Share Posted April 4, 2021 Unless we completely lose the plot and results go south in these last few weeks of the season, sacking Tuchel just because we don't get Top 4 would be a fucking stupid decision from the board...again. Yes, Tuchel was brought in to revitalize our Top 4 challenge but he was also brought in because Lampard didn't have a clue what to do with the team at all. Tuchel has already shown the opposite and given the team a solid platform at the very least to compete properly. Have the problems been solved? No. It's ridiculous to just expect a manager coming midway through a season to just solve all the problems, especially with basically no training time between games. On top of that, this team isn't a team at its peak or a team that can pilot itself regardless of chopping and changing of managers like during the Terry, Cech, Lampard, Drogba etc days. This team is a work in progress. We need to stop fucking about with all these changes and go with the process for once, especially when we have a proper coach in place instead of a novice. sainttourist, Fernando, OneMoSalah and 3 others 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomiswave 6,119 Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Those rival fans can go spit, they know we will do much better next season under TT so they are scared. And if you believe RA will sack TT cuz we didnt get top4 then your mental, surely the man deserves next season. We will do good under TT, he cant bloody fix everything in one go. Look at Poch at PSG.

NikkiCFC 8,370 Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 First loss under new manager and already talk about sacking him started 🤣 1 hour ago, Mana said: Should we take a risk of him going to next season, hoping he will unlock that attacking threat we desperately needed? Because we already tried that risk with Lampard going to his second season and he flopped. How is going with Tuchel next season risk? 😮 I mean, it would be risk just like with every other manager. Ziyech, Pulisic and Havertz improved drastically last couple of games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laylabelle 9,539 Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 It's hard to come in mid season and un do the damage.. sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't. It's next season that be be one to judge on. So many teams have had stupid games this season..this was our one.

It would indeed be "ludicrous" if it was any other Prem club, but nothing is too ludicrous for us when it cones to making rash decisions. Just remember, we sacked Gullit months after winning our first trophy in 20 years and when we were second in the league. Sacked a World Cup winning manager half way thru a season. Sacked Carlo after winning the double and finishing second. Conte, basically forced out. Sacking TT wouldn't be as shocking as any of those sackings!

Scolari was clueless. Conte forced out? lol He forced himself out by giving up in the second season. Like I said earlier, sacking Tuchel just because he doesn't get top 4 would be ludicrous. We'll never get anywhere if we continue to want only short term results etc. Unless we suddenly have a meltdown between now and the end of the season. Let Tuchel continue what he has started into next season. And also worth noting that Tuchel was talking about his transfer ideas in his presser last Friday.
