Tuchel - Chelsea (bankrolled by a billionaire)
Conte - Chelsea (bankrolled by a billionaire)
Pep - City (bankrolled by a billionaire)
Klopp - Liverpool (shit American owners, took ages to win anything and finish top 4)
Chelsea were a side giving away goals for free looking shite under Lampard, and Tuchel came in, spent 0 and won a Champions League within half a year.
Conte & Ole have spent similar amounts, with the exception that Conte won the league with 93 points and Ole has won nothing in 4 years.
Pep may be bankrolled but he's still won a lot of silverware and had his side looking unplayable often enough.
Klopp did the best job - far less spent and won in good time. Saying he took ages is just daft. He joined half way through what 15/16 season and ended up winning the Champions League in 18/19. He was a finalist the year before and he won the premier league for the first time in club history by 19/20.
^ That's what tactics does.
You need both. What good are tactics when players aren't putting 100% in or the manager isn't getting the message across properly. There's a reason why Klopp acts like a complete maniac on the sidelines at times. It's to drive his players on. His whole philosophy is based around playing with passion. If his team are flat then his pressing game isn't as effective. Same can be said about every team tbh. You can be the greatest tactician but if you have a team that doesn't respond then it's useless.
Of course you need both. I never said you didn't. But this insinuation that philosophy and tactics are overrated is a pile of wank.
Ok well the extent it’s working to so far is pretty good, it’s just shy of winning something and I agree we need to win something this year and I think we will. The number of points we’ve got, wins and big teams/managers we’ve beaten makes any notion we have no tactics or no philosophy laughable. Further to this he’s transformed the recruitment, culture and overall atmos around the club following the shambles of years we had with moyes/LVG/Jose. He’s more than earned the good will you refer to, hence the contract extension.
I don't deny Ole has shown tactical sense in a range of big games. What I do deny is this silly insinuation that one doesn't need to have consistent tactical focus to flourish.
He has admitted himself he doesn't focus on it as much as his peers, and that is a problem. As I said earlier - a manager who can motivate players and has an ability to drill his sides tactically on top will be more successful. I've given 4 examples to this end. Lets be honest no manager should be here for 3 years and have nothing to show for it - but Ole is an ex player and has extra good will. That's fine, but now he has to win something major with no excuses. As a minimum he has to make a complete challenge for the league, not fall away with 2 months to go.
