Wait we would have to pay Bayern for Nagelsmann?

He is still on the contract

Hype doesn't win you games. He can come in and implement his football immediately and identify which players would be poor fit for his team. There is no pressure, top 4 is not happening and everyone expects Madrid to win against us. 

No but I can see a lot of Chelsea fans calling him fraud already if he loses like 4 of the last 8 games of the season. What we need is a good and optimistic atmosphere when we start the season.

The expectation is so freaking low, sacking Potter it has been the happiest most of us have been all season. What is more important him getting a good feel for the squad he has going into the summer.

With Enrique you know it would be 433 but who knows with Nagelsmann. He mostly played 4231 in Bayern but in Leipzig 352, sometimes 3421... Worked with Nkunku who was left AM in 3421

Pavard was basically a third 3CB, Davis would push forward while Pavard creating a back three.

Hope we can convince Nagelsmann to come in right now, we have a CL to win

True, but tbh I want Nagelsmann to take a little break to analyse why he failed at Bayern to prevent making these failures again. At this point, he is just a fancier Potter. We should appoint him now before PSG contacts him but let him have a little break after his dreamclub dumped him.

That guy lost to Villarreal, what makes u think that we have a higher chance of winning it with him?

Lets just do another Di Matteo - Bruno Saltor story.

Potter seems like a nice man, too nice actually. He didn't really have that presence about him, and at Chelsea you need that character to be able to handle these type of players.

Also it says that the players were shocked he was gone.. well you lot didn't seem to be playing for him in the first place.

Not sure who I would like next but I just hope they can bring out the quality of the young talent we currently have.

Bruno must've been close to Potter so I don't expect much difference with him, but with Nagelsmann, new manager bounce, some luck why not, he could do a Tuchel, we have excellent players just need to get them going and play like a team.

Nagelsmann went from a more possession based mentality in year 1 at Bayern, for more of a fluid style in year 2. Defensively though you know what to expect, high press much more than Tuchel.

Mou is always on this list 😂

Guardiola also got eliminated by Lyon 6th team in Ligue1 at the time. Young Monaco side, Spurs etc... 

Nagelsmann with Leipzig reach semi final by beating Spurs and Atletico.  Season after he eliminated United in group stage. This season didn't concede a goal in 6 games against Inter, Barcelona and PSG.
