Hard to see them not being part of our squad here bla bla" And yet, he keep giving a lot of minutes to some player like bat, kenedy who have 0 future in here. Sad to see this thing keep happening. What is tuchel actually thinking anyway? It's the side effect of changing managers so often. Every new manager wants to see if they can do better with players., and do their own assessment Batshuayi came here under Conte and went on to flop., and Tuchel wants to see if he can extract more. It didn't happen last year because Lukaku was enroute. Now he wants to see if the one real striker (besides Broja) could do a job. Hope Tuchel realizes the truth sooner than later.

TT could very well be thinking like this but he shouldn't be. He has video, all kinds of video, and that should be that. Blue Armour 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So glad I fell asleep long before the game started but it sounds like I would have soon after kickoff anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is tuchel actually thinking anyway? Two or three seasons ago we might have said he was shop-windowing some players. Nowadays that can't be the case because everyone knows everything about them. It seems to me more likely that TT is showing these players to the new management. This is only an attempt to put a plausible construction on the facts mind you because management should simply be prepared to take TT's word for things. Maybe they're going with trust but verify.

Strike 7,492 Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 (edited) Too much being made of the Gallagher miss on social media. Nobody cares about a singular moment. But that performance should light a fire under some players. Edited July 21, 2022 by Strike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least loan them out and pay a portion or none of their salaries.. best we can do. Reports suggest that Milan might have a legal obligation regarding Bakayoko but for the others, if there are no clubs willing to cost share on their contracts over the next season, pay them off and allow them to become free agents.

We should be blowing this sort of team away no matter who is playing. This is not an isolated situation either. It happens all the time and over a lot of years. It is a contributor to our unpopularity with big players. Which quality player watching a performance like the one you described (I didn't see it) would want to play for that club? A lot of work needs to be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He goes to ground in the box too much, when you do that you have no control over your arms. That’s not the first pen he’s given away like that How did Ethan do?

Do not rate him at all I have to say I agree. However I do rate him but I just can't understand what his natural position is... and can we afford to play him as the central attacking player... probably not.

A lot of work needs to be done. Tuchel tactics is too safe, which is why I ultimately believe we will never compete with Pool and City in the league. Unless he changes tactics, I was hoping we would transition to a back 4 and add one more attacker on the field. In the CL I still believe we will be a dangerous team, but over 38 games we need much more goals. MoroccanBlue 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do not rate him at all I do rate him and really like him as a big part of the squad but we absolutely, 100% need another forward signing that can score goals. Because as of right now I don’t see how we score goals at a high enough rate to keep up with the top 2. Even with an improved defense and Sterling as an upgrade on the left I can see us having the exact same sort of season with the exact same frustrations as we did last season at this moment in time. Loads and loads of matches where we dominate poor opposition but can’t score goals because we have serial chokers like Ziyech/Werner/Pulisic/CHO in attack and Havertz who looks amazing one match and then disappears in others. If the powers at this club think Sterling and nobody else is good enough to bridge the gap they’re extremely deluded. manpe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucio 5,418 Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Back 3 is ass. If silva is too old to play in a back 4 then don’t play him, simple as. About time we had a system suited to our attackers strength not the defenders Clockwork 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Juan 28,141 Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 More minutes in the legs but the same sounds are coming from TT's mouth, last two games wasteful in the last part of the field. That is very worrying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolute gospel this statement. We are built and run like a cup team. Always set up as the underdog vs taking the initiative. It's why we won't ever win the league like this.
