That’s just excuse after excuse for Tuchel.And in his first 2 years in normal circumstances, he totally dominated the league as expected. The same guy going into a new team then won CL, making cup final, as well as going uphill and achieving top 4.
Across the board, almost all the teams played in later round of EL and CL the previous had slow start. So answer me? How long the vacation PSG team had after the CL final until they had to report back? How long was their pre season? Who missed the first few games? How many games Tuchel lost to relegation battlers in all his time at PSG?
Identifying a target at PSG? You don't know PSG then. One of the main reason Tuchel fell out and led to his dismissal is having no say in transfer. PSG didn't sack him because he was underperforming in the league back then. He's expected to turn it around if he's to stay, which he's more proven to do that.
Poch got cut some slack despite losing out Ligue 1 title by PSG, or he would have got sacked. The pressure built up though since despite better result, the performance was as meh as it was, now that he knows the team, and whatever.
If a manager comes in now and outperforms Ole till the end of the season, like feck I’d be absolving Ole of blame and putting the failed season on the new guy who will need at least his first three months to even get his coaching and ideas over to his new players.
That you cut Tuchel slack for a poor pre-season but Poch no slack for zero pre-season and zero slack for how long it takes any new manager to get his coaching and ideas into play with a new team is absolutely laughable.
