Thomas Tuchel | Gone to & from Bayern (In Summer)

[FootballHQ]

Seems every elite manager gets this sort of thread! So it was created as a laugh when he was appointed but been randomly bumped after the 0-0 yesterday?!

He came in when they were 7th or 8th, firmly established them in top 4 with some good wins over teams around them in table, in good position to knock out one of toughest teams to take out over two legs and still in FA cup.

He's doing o.k I think. Only issue like Lampard is still to work out their best attacking combination.

 

[FootballHQ]

You would be 7th if teams below you wins their games in hands. You had to go on a rush to really challenge for top 4 and youve drawn 3 out of 5 barely scoring a goal a game.
If Chelsea dont get top 4 when he had so many games to catch up then his head has to be on the block. Hes getting even less out of Chelseas attack than Frank

Little chance West Ham or Everton will finish above Chelsea. Still possible for Spurs but they'd have to go on mass winning run to have serious chance.

I think Chelsea are top 4 certs now so in the circumstances he's fulfilled the brief when he came in and not like they've had an easy fixture list over last 6 weeks.

10 points and no goals conceded from playing Spurs, Liverpool, Everton and Man. United is pretty good I think, Lampard would've managed about 5-6 points from that run.

Everton must not have been paying attention to your theory. Perhaps this sacking managers is the wrong approach and the Glazers have it figured out with giving another contract with a huge pay raise for winning feck all?

I think Tuchel will be just fine.

 

[RashyForPM]

Do some of you realise that Tuchel is about as close to the sack atm as the likes of Pep and Flick?

Which is when everyone said "that'll be the real test to see how good he is" Won at Anfield, won at Spurs, drew with Utd, beat Everton, conceded none, and throw in a 1-0 win over Atletico, too

And a 0-0 at Leeds suddenly means top 4 is iffy. Mind boggles

 

[Zaphod2319]

So it must be disappointing for all that thought that these teams were going to push Chelsea down to 7th because they had a game in hand.


Spurs - lose

West Ham - lose

Everton- lose

Chelsea +1 point

Tuchel sack watch canceled for a couple more weeks.

You seem quite giddy.

 

[Judas]

He'll get them top 4, got a free pass to the FA Cup semi final, and the CL is there to be won who knows. He's doing well I think.

 

[Terminator]

Gone before the end of 21/22 season I reckon.

 

[roonster09]

Its amazing how people still don't get these 'sack watch' threads

Even Pep had one, so did Conte after winning or before winning PL when he was running away with league so easily. Even Klopp has one, most of the managers have one and it doesn't mean these mangers are in danger of getting sack immediately.

it started in jest, but some here really thought it was going to be a real thing.

It will be a real thing but not so soon.

 

[Samid]

2 wins in 6.

 

[redNATION]

If they don’t finish top 4 he’s a goner I think, they clearly had this in mind when he only got an 18 month contract

 

[ivaldo]

20% of all goals they've conceded this season has come today against relegation fodder.

 

[WeePat]

No reason for that collapse. Fecking red cards can happen. No excuse for losing their heads like that.

 

[charlenefan]

2 wins in 6.

I thought they were doing well with him?

 

[Irrational.]

Avram Grant has just put his phone on loud.

 

[Schmeichel's Cartwheel]

Anyone got Guus Hiddink’s number?

 

[adexkola]

Nonsense, it's very hard to maintain structure when you're a man down.

 

[cyberman]

2 wins in 6 league games. Theyve been secretly stuttering for a while now and arent getting top 4 imo. Their forward play is abysmal

 

[Classical Mechanic]

[WeePat]

Nonsense, it's very hard to maintain structure when you're a man down.

What? Conceding 5 at home is completely normal because your're down to 10? Please.

 

[Robbie Boy]

Is he gone yet?

 

[Carl]

What? Conceding 5 at home is completely normal because your down to 10? Please.

Against an Allardyce team, no less.

 

[darko]

His laring weekness is that he's too conservative. Take this WBA match. He plays with three CBS, two CDM and two wing backs. He loses a player to a red card and subs out a forward for a CB against WBA, Ole plays two DM against a low ranked side and he gets criticized and also the two CB needing that protection.

Now he gained nine points in his last six EPL (nine in their prevoius five
heading into the WBA fixture)matches and the pundits call them an in form club.

 

[RUCK4444]

Di Matteo, they need a club legend to take this forward :-)

 

[crossy1686]

John Terry waiting in the wings

 

[Chairman Steve]

What a fraud!

...until the next game on Wednesday night

 

[FrankDrebin]

I always had him down for being quite a progressive attacking coach. Shows you how much I know.

 

[crossy1686]

2 wins in 6.

Was waiting for this. They've been banging the 'unbeaten in 8 games' bollocks. The reality is they haven't won a lot since he took over and they don't look that much better.

 

[crossy1686]

One game doesn't change that but people really need to careful what they wish for. There was a section of this place that wanted him badly because he would stand on the touch line and wave his arms around, which gave the impression he 'looked like he knew what he was doing'...

 

[Ajr]

Sack Tuchel, hire Stevie G

 

[Irrational.]

Sarri has just sparked up.

 

[meamth]

Honeymoon period over? Too soon.

Now is the real test.

 

[Remember the geese]

The 'Bunde Boys' will be here soon enough to defend their delicious beef tenderloin, whilst mocking our two minute microwave meal Premier League.

 

[Chairman Steve]

Scolaris rushing to check he’s got sufficient phone signal in his favela?

 

[SalfordRed18]

Thought he was doing well over there tbf

 

[WeePat]

Against an Allardyce team, no less.

Yeah I'm not trying to overreact to the game. These sorts of bonkers games can happen sometimes but teams go down to 10 men all the time. Not saying we should have continued to cruise to the win but I don't think expecting the team not to collapse like that at home against the team sitting 19th is asking too much.

Just saw the result. A belated for our resident chelsea fans.
