Who is benefiting from the 3-4-3?

James, Chilly, and Silva benefit massively. Allows the former two to spend most of their time attacking (which had us top of the league at one point) and Silva gets to have the protection of two CB’s beside him with legs so he can be the boss in the middle. Probably also helps Mendy a lot to have 3 CB’s and 2 midfielders in front of him as options and security.

If we want to switch to a back 4 it surely means Silva has to drop to the bench. Unless we sign a monster like Koulibaly to play beside him.

Next season will be a write off probably

all interesting players will be signed up by the time we can take action

we should have 0 expectations 

We could use this like 19/20 after hazard left with a transfer ban. just blood in youngsters, try new tactics and give everyone left a fresh start

When you think about it, our current situation is very similar. Some of the most influential players leaving and we effectively have a transfer ban in place

 

If that’s the case viewership and attendance is going to plummet. No one wants to watch another disaster season of inconsistent performances and getting spanked in Europe again.

Pretty much every quote form Tuchel about this summer makes him seem genuinely scared and worried. Hopefully Boehly makes funds available as soon as possible after everything is sorted so we can get a couple of signings in early to ease Tuchel’s concern.

I pray that the football people at the club (be it Marina, Cech, the scouts etc) are ready to hit the ground running immediately.

Really?

If he feels worry, its perfect normal, but I believe that we can creat a competitive squad.

Why there is a narrative that TT has been successful manager here?

He won the CL and CWC whilst guiding us to multiple finals under 2 years?

Might have something to do with it.

Tuchel said he will stick to 3 back next season if he will not be forced to change it. I was hoped to see 4 back but it seems not possible with Tuchel. It really seems for me like Conte v2 when one tactic/formation worked at the beginning and we stick with that no matter what.
And if we dont sell/replace some attacking guys we will struggle to do anything next season. I had big expectations for Conor but i dont see him in 3-4-3.

Worse winning percentage than Sarri.

Loved his fulltime comments

 

"No holiday for me, we must start building a strong team right away"

 

He cannot wait for the window to open

[Blues11 213]

Still not fully convinced with TT. When we stopped defending at an elite level he had no answers to elevate the attack. We struggle to score no matter who the opposition is and barely finished 3rd after a fantastic start. 

I understand we were missing some key players but part of the managers job is to make adjustments to keep us going. To me that didn't happen and the second half of the season and we dropped so many points to bottom tier clubs. 

Tuchel was the best thing that could have happened to us following Lampard, he might have been the only one who could have led us to the Champions League last season and deserves massive credit for that feat.

That's now in the past and I think he still has a lot to prove.

Tuchel this season:

from January 2021 just one signing for him permanent (Lukaku)

Major injuries

Covid  and 0 postponements

Lukaku disrespect

Abramovich sanctions

The sale of the club

Contracts  issues

Tuchel survived  with 2 trophy which we all wanted Super Cup and Fifa World Cup yeah we lost Micky Mouse Cup and FA  but who cares .

Just give him what he want and next year we are going go win Premier League .

I think we got really lucky that year. We rode the hype of beating Madrid and Pep overthought his tactics in the final. We weren't the best team in Europe that year, we had an easy route compared to others. I give a lot of credit to Lamps as well for blooding in and sticking with the youngsters.

Tuchel was the perfect impact manager which was perfect for the Roman era. But if we spend large amounts of money on a style of play that obviously isn't working, we are going to be another arsenal. Tuchel needs to show flexibility to switch to 4-3-3 but so far he's had sarr and RLC to bring in and implement that tactical change. Maybe with the right buys he can pull it off (as in anyone but Sarr), but I don't think he is world class like Pep.

So did RDM, Tuchel has done well enough to buy more time. 
 

People complain about our attackers yet at the same admit, Tuchel tactics only benefits our defenders. Unless he changes we are going to continue to be competing for 3/4, anyone is watching this team toward end of the season thinking wow this team could be PL winner?

Sorry but absolute bollox was the UCL win lucky in anyway shape or form.

We absolutely battered both Madrid sides, were comfortable against Porto and if anything should have won the final by even more than 1. We equalled the UCL goals allowed record and were behind for a grand total of five minutes for the entire tournament, four in a dead rubber group game and one in a second leg match we were winning comfortably overall.

It's bad enough this nonsense comes from rival fans.

[Beigl 1,387]

Not to mention we beat City three times in 5 weeks in 2021, so the UCL final win wasn´t a one-off like many people claim.

Lol the more i read the more i think american ppl dont understand that thing called football! Just compare Tuchel with Ragnik and you will see the difference. For back 4 he needs to have the right CBs..
