Tbf I'm being contrary because I think he's a good manager, although probably not elite. But he had a ridiculous win percentage (regardless of French league being shit) and made champs league final. Pepe will be a failure in my eyes if he doesn’t win the CL with Man City… when you boss the league for money and buy up all the best then expectations are for you to win the top prize in Europe.

BKLFox Posted 7 September 2022 Share Posted 7 September 2022 3 minutes ago, Fear Of The Fox said: Which signings? The emergency ones they did? Auba and Fofana? I don't think Tuchel agreed to the Auba one and now that he's sacked he will come out bashing the Chelsea board for their transfers approach. Regarding Fofana there's no way Tuchel was keen on splashing £70m for an inexperienced young CB who was all over the place yesterday in his 1st serious CL football clash against a just decent team from Croatia. I think he was, he was critical of the board for allowing these transfers to drag on almost saying pay what they want i want them in now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auba caused serious problems to the Arsenal dressing room and they literally got rid of him. The guy is a liability. He was just walking around for 59min yesterday in Zagreb.

What I know is that they've spent nearly £300m and their team quality is way worse than last season. No upgrades in the midfield, questionable choices in defense and even worse decisions up front with Auba and an Albanian 20yr old back from loan.

dmayne7 Posted 7 September 2022 Share Posted 7 September 2022 Glad he's gone. The media love in was ridiculous. A very good manager but nothing more. Another manager with a very short cycle before things go wrong. Apparently falls out with everyone which doesn't surprise me as he has no class Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RowlattsFox Posted 7 September 2022 Share Posted 7 September 2022 Would be brave for Potter to go there. Probably too soon to walk into a temperamental job like that. Surely there is no way they'd be tempted by Rodgers More likely to go down a Pochettino sort of route I'd imagine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kante is too injury prone these days. Jorginho is a brilliant player but well past his best. Gallagher is bang average. Mount is possibly the most over-rated player in contemporary football. Kovacic is good sometimes, poor at other times. Thats where they should have spent their money on a Maddison or a Guimares or a Tonali.. A proper midfield playmaker.

I’d love them to go for Brendan and Potter come here but I can’t see that happen if Brendan is to go given our current predicament. I think one of the things being underplayed with Tuchel is his off the field antics, particularly that aggressive spat with Conte. American owners would not be happy with that. Rogers would probably keep them much happier in respect of those relationships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StriderHiryu Posted 7 September 2022 Share Posted 7 September 2022 38 minutes ago, Finnegan said: I still don't understand how he got the job tbh. He just keeps failing upwards. Dortmund hired him because he had a similar profile to Klopp, same pathway, similar approach. He was underwhelming so they sacked him. He somehow gets the job at PSG with that as his CV and he fails there. So Chelsea hire him? I mean, what? The crazy thing is the myth of Tuchel almost certainly still exists and I guarantee he walks in to another Champions League post. Has a history of nullifying the attack of every club he goes to and falling out with their players too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jorginho wins most overrated for me! Fantastic technician but he has to have some legs/physicality around him otherwise he's so painfully exposed at this level. Seems such a simple tactic but few managers try to exploit it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
