Per xg metrics we should have conceded about 10 or 11 more goals than we should have scored. Our 0 GD is not because we cannot put away chances like many claim, it’s because our opposition have been extremely wasteful.
Tuchel record with Chelsea was an average of 2.07 points per game and the season he came third he was building something, he is not as most believe a boring manager and plays attacking football, his Chelsea team scored 76 goals and conceded 33 goals the season he came third plus he won the CL, he’s a a flexible tactical coach that is miles better than ETH that’s why he beat him twice this season, even with a Bayern term on the slide.
Goes to show the levels between PL and Dutch football, even I was fooled tbh, he genuinely looked class and last season was pretty decent.
I agree even though he’s been having some blunders lately, I sorta rate him.

The xG table has us in 11th and I think that's probably where we're at, we're an appalling team, like really, really bad.
Today with what was available we need to dominate lllllll ll
A new boardroom, a new CEO, a new DoF the club must have a new Manager/Coach who can evaluate the squad and come to the conclusion that most fans have 75% of the squad is not fit for purpose, it’s not how many players should go, it’s really time to have a complete reset.
That’s why he’s got to be sacked, his stubbornness is embarrassing the club week in week out!
Onana was in the CL final last year at the best team in Italy.
Great post and a reality check, the club needs a complete reset !

You honestly think Arsenal, City or Liverpool would actively chase for Bruno? And you reckon I’m deluded! The amount he gives the ball away is ridiculous and they wouldn’t put up with his indiscipline both positionally and, well discipline, given how often he loses it.
It's much easier to have a 1 season impact with a unique style. It's also very flawed to just trust in that fully. Managers have to constantly adapt and progress, other managers try to figure them out and you have to adapt to them. Especially in this league. Managers have simply figured out how to counter his system, and he hasn't adapted.
The three have been more good than bad in recent years actually. Rashford is having a poor season indeed but he was a very important player for us the previous few years and it's very harsh to consider him as a failure when he's one of the main reasons Ole and Ten Hag achieved what they did.
Klopp and Liverpool for sure would have gone for Bruno. He needs a manager to give him discipline, but he's been brilliant during his time here. He doesn't fit Pep and Arteta so much and they have Odegaard and De Bruyne, so it's a dumb comparison. You don't buy players for which you already have top ones in that position. Teams who don't have top class #10's or attacking mids would be after him. Just now you have to consider age as well. 30 year olds don't have much of a market.
The perfect word.
So Pep and Arteta would sign him…if it wasn’t for the fact that they have better players in his position and he’s getting older, did I read that right?
As bad as his football has been, his management of the roster has been worse. Spent half of a billion in three transfer windows and our squad is worse than its ever been. By my count, just about every single position needs strengthening and ten Hag should not be tasked with that given his record.
There’s an argument that he shouldn’t be the one spending the money but look at Antony, forget the fee [hard I know], somehow he’s regressed as a footballer & he was the biggest example of the type of signing that should beat fruit. He’d played under the manager before & was signed at his behest, how on earth he’s regressed should lead to an inquest.
Yeah, only a fluke Fa Cup win could make this season bearable.
This is a sensible statement because before ETH spent £180m this summer his old Trafford last season was the best since Sir Alex with a record of P19 W15 D3 L1 GS36 GC10 GD+26 - 48 points
I don’t think it’s that.
Yeah this is the way it should be.
I would add to that he’s tried to be too clever I’ll explain?
Doesn't need to be a full time replacement. Basically anyone but Erik.
What's this about?I love the fact that when everyone is trying to say that certain phrase on here it's coming up as Pep Guardiola is my idol
See above. It's been obvious for most of us for some time that he's not good enough and maybe getting rid now would give the players a boost and see how they do for the rest of the season without the bad smell hanging around.
See above.
What's your definition of failure as it means here?
Pretty sure he didn't say Odegaard and KDB are better. But even if the poster was saying that they're better, the difference between all 3 of them is miniscule. KDB and Bruno produce similar stats, just one plays in a better team so what he does comes off more.
Have seen quite a few videos on this and the spaces are very apparent. It's evident that the shape of the team in the attacking third resembles what the manager illustrated at Ajax but the speed and physicality of the league means it's far more detrimental when the opposition get the transition and the team is carved open when running back to goal.
De Bruyne is rated 109th and Bruno 58th. Yet KDB played 7, 1 goal and 4 assists. Bruno, played 25, 3 goals and just 5 assists.
