ZAPHOD2319 4,819 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 (edited) It is important to remember that ESPN is very self promoting and promoting teams and leagues they profit from. Right now the Premier League is a NBC product and ESPN will do whatever it can to muddy up NBC coverage. They love yammering on about Pulisic because they have coverage of the USMNT. They can take shots at Chelsea and still promote Pulisic. ESPN has rights to the SEC college football and they glow on about that conference while only discussing how the Big One conference is getting weaker....which ABC has rights to. It is all about promoting their product. Edited February 16, 2021 by ZAPHOD2319 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just today I read an article about how Tuchel 'failed' to get Kante to celebrate after the Newcastle win,. and ESPN was talking about how Pulisic would be looking for a way out in the summer. The pre match articles ahead of the Man Utd game next week are going to be unbearable. Too many pundits and journalists are stealing a living, TBH. Very, very few out there that are actually good and done their homework before analyzing things. As you pointed out, there are paid idiots who take pot shots at Tuchel as though he was the one who decided to sack Lampard. There are paid idiots who think that there's been no difference Tuchel's Chelsea and Lampard's Chelsea apart from upturn in results or that Tuchel is keeping everyone happy. There are paid idiots who still think there was nothing with us under Lampard - not the tactics, playing style etc - apart from the results that went south in the December-January period. There are paid idiots who were giving and probably still make excuses for Lampard after 18 months in the job but want to now judge Tuchel after being in the job for only about 3 weeks. There are paid idiots who blame Lampard's sacking on other people and not judge the job that Lampard was actually doing. It was so crazy how many excuses were made for Lampard by the English media. So much forgiving was afforded to him compared to our previous managers. There are paid idiots who judge Lampard based on sentimental reasons and nothing about his coaching credentials. No one mentioned that Lampard got his dream job and no one but himself fucked it up. There are paid idiots who think the likes of Pulisic deserve to start without having a clue. If they have been watching us, they should know Pulisic and some others have done zilch to deserve a start right now. Given we have so many options right now, some will get left out in matches and the stupid is thing, if Tuchel drops someone else for Pulisic, then these paid idiots would be questioning why isn't Tuchel playing that player! bigbluewillie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZAPHOD2319 4,819 Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 I hope that the Chelsea fan base does not go the way of the Man Utd fan base. They are still really fractured on Ole In or Ole Out. It does not matter how many points the team acquires, some of their fans just have a healthy hate for the guy.

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 TT has not learned anything from Lampard's time here. Alonso back in the side has backfired badly. he put a stop to every one of our attacks today. Kante-Kovacic doenst work and he should know that. Ziyech is out of form and should not have brought on, wasted every ball. Zouma as sweeper is terrible as well. No idea how he gets those ideas but it is frustrating he has to make all those mistakes at all, when everyone with eyes sees them as such. This draw is 90% on TT. Can't wait to see how he reacts but if i see alonso in the lineup again i just turn off the TV killer1257 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if that happens, I would be very surprised if we dont go on an endless cycle of sacking every manager after 12 games or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azul 1,615 Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 This game was so predictable, it was clear and obvious that we can't handle a pressing team. We need to switch systems, and try something else, because we will struggle with the three at the back system against Atletico, Liverpool and Manchester United.

Sir Mikel OBE 4,920 Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 The idea he thinks CHO will forget what happened today in the morning shows that he is naive.

Think people are making more of this than they should, when CHO alongside Mount + Werner have been our best performers for Tuchl.

If you look at my posts before the game then you'll see that I predicted that we'll struggle this game. Why? Because we kept on struggling against Barnsley, Newcastle's and Sheffield's press. Imagine when we face better teams that have a better pressing system? Well we got our answer today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
