We are seeing more progressive football recently and at times horrific defense. It was Tuchel's game plan to hold possession and possibly knick a goal to win. Possession football just to play keep away from your opponent is boring football. It got us some cups, but it truly was boring. When you are no longer winning and playing boring football, the fans get restless. We were a possession based side with Tuchel and it worked though - just needed a more in attack and I don’t think us spending bucketloads on attacking players this season weakens that argument at all. I don’t think we were a million miles away (granted poor start to the campaign) where as now, with Potter, we look well off where we were. Fans will appreciate being a bit more “boring” - well whatever the fuck that actually is meant to mean because its hardly as if the footballs been thrilling throughout most of this season, has it 😂? - and competing in big games and for bigger trophies than being a team who might not even finish top half having spent £600m since the beginning of the season. But each to their own. And no your right, Graham Potter has never been the answer, if it wasn’t clear when he was appointed it should be now. If you intend to be serious as a club, you cannot just dump an elite level coach for somebody who’s achievements in the games didn’t merit the opportunity here. lucio 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without knowing what happened behind the scenes, there were some pretty bad rumors coming out in the media about what Tuchel said to the ownership group (especially when they mentioned the idea of a footballing director structure being in place at Chelsea)....which eventually led to them deciding to sack him. 9 hours ago, OneMoSalah said: Lets see how we will fair v Real under Potter compared to the last 2 seasons under Tuchel. Be a big difference, wait and see. It is a different team though, with two of our best defenders no longer with the club, Jorginho out the door and Mount is pretty much gone as well. Let's try to compare apples to apples rather than trying to compare apples to oranges. I still question whether we actually needed Cucurella or Mudryk. 130 million that could have been spent on a partner for Enzo in the engine room...and instead we signed squad fillers.

Spend a truckload of money ✅ Hire Pep as a manager or Gamble on someone w/ same philosophy to Build a squad w/ high work rate, mobility, and on-the-ball skill (esp CBs and even gk) It seems we are only good at #1 above. TBH, I don't necessarily want/need that to happen, but this is what would take IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
