Chelsea ideally want a new boss in place before the weekend and are acting with urgency as a result. Things moving very fast with Potter. Brighton fully cooperative. Potter himself keen on the move.

Graham Potter
Not a big name coach. But just like Harry Potter the magician, the guy has performed admirably well in all his appointments. From his time in Sweden to currently with Brighton, its clear why he is Chelsea current best option.

Pott is Not a big name coach but tactical Genius, down to earth guy who knows how to relate to players and bring the best out of average players.

He prefers 3-4-2-1 but is very versatile and non rigid oftenly playing 3-4-3, 3-5-2 l. At osternds he prefered 4_4_2 double 6. that is very expansive and exciting to watch. His teams play proactive and never shy away from attacking irregardless of the opponents they are facing. This has brought him both joy and pain including the demolition of manchester united, Arsenal and leicester.

Brighton unlike chelsea choose zones and traps to press. He sometimes sets his team up with zonal markings which end up catastrophically opening defence in wide areas. His midfield is also fluid and encouraged to move with balls to create space. During attack, his defenders push into midfield allowing the upfront players create a wide 5 attack. In a game you'd see his wingbacks coming in sometimes to create midfield overloads and cucurela was largely known for his vertical passes from wing positions and played as midfield pivot from Left Centreback position.

But what would certainly make him a match for the new regime is his ability to develop young and average potential players. Tariq Lamptey has certainly flourished under him amongst others.

Its worth pointing out also that most of the goals brighton have scored have mostly been moments of individual inspirations. Most long range efforts. Of the current crop of chelsea players only mount is known for this. It will be interesting to see how chelsea will find their way with this.

It will be the period between 15/02/2022 - 16th March 2022 when he lost six consective epl games that should however cast confidence in his knowledge to ride predicaments. But at chelsea where only 3 cost Tuchel he will learn to adapt faster. It will certainly be a roller coaster of a ride.

Thomas Tuchel did not expect to get sacked by Chelsea, he was ready for training this morning and think about the match against Fulham.

Todd Boehly feels he spent a lot of money to rebuild the Chelsea squad this summer and the results were not as expected

Tuchel and Boehly tried to make it work in the summer, Tuchel was not so happy with some situations like not landing De Ligt who he wanted as top priority, Boehly wanted Ronaldo at Chelsea but Tuchel said no, many things were not perfect between Tuchel & Boehly.

Boehly wants a manager who has ideas close to his plan, he wants to rebuild everything at Chelsea, the feeling around Boehly is this is just the beginning.

@donjazet it's not a political decision, he simply needed change of personel, and a coach to implement his own idea and visions for the club

Mark my words, in 16 months, we would be right here again. At this very moment, wondering, why did the club hire a clearly inexperienced rookie to manage a champions league team?

We will forget that there were some people here who thought that an English rookie manager was the most capable hand to replace a UCL winning manager.

Supporting Chelsea na psychological Battle.
Sacking tuchel this soon Is actually a no-brainer

� Todd Boehly sacked Thomas Tuchel in a 10-minute phone call after calling him into a call conference with the Chelsea hierarchy.

Tuchel pleaded for more time to turn things around, but was told time had run out. He was left shocked as the news sunk in.

Boehly was looking at Erling Haaland at Man City and what Liverpool have been doing and felt Chelsea were slipping further behind, Potter will be given money in the January window and a long contract.

Chelsea’s ownership didn’t feel Tuchel was animated enough over the new signings, the understanding was that not many of them were his signings and it was more broader approach, bringing players through that could be improved long term with good coaching.

Chelsea’s new owners didn’t feel Tuchel was developing senior or younger players and players on the fringe felt disconnected, take Pulisic, Werner and Lukaku as examples.

The new owners are looking at a 5-10 year trajectory.

Pochettino is open to replacing Thomas Tuchel.

Chelsea's owners saw a negative trend on and off the pitch and Thomas Tuchel's personal issues had an impact on his demeanour.

Tuchel’s ideas were no longer transmitting. He’d stopped getting through. It probably didn’t help that some of the players had been talking about his private life, and how he had a younger girlfriend as his marriage fell apart.

Sources maintain that Tuchel initially wanted to move away from a fixed number-nine, only to completely go back on that. “He’ll say one thing,” one figure says, “then complain when it is done.” More on Independent

Todd Boehly’s interest in signing Cristiano Ronaldo provided an early difference of opinion, with Boehly reluctant to simply take 'no' for an answer from Thomas Tuchel, who seemed exasperated at having to explain his reasons for not wanting him.

Kantebets:
most of the average players in that team was signed by lampard and the previous coaches

Everything is not my sacking coach up and down
Allow one coach to build his team by assembling his own 11 before we go sack am

Na the same matter with Ancelotti that year and Chelsea still regrets sacking him till today
Majority of our attackers are not average; Tucheliban's style made them look average, ziyech,harvetz,pulisic even Werner to some extent were ballin for lampard we were creating chances, the only issues we had as a team then was our defense and he caused that, he had issues with most defenders then( the likes of rudiger, Christensen, alonso were all furious for being axed from the team) but yet were playing good attacking football but this issues was just our defense we are not able to keep leads most of matches ended with us scoring but opponent outscoring us due to our bad defense, but we're completely clueless under tuchel how are we to score with this stupid tactics, we will keep getting to attack third with nothing to show for it and keep on recycling balls

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Club World Cup Champions 2025-2029 by Astrid4(m): 9:46am On Sep 07, 2022
To put Aubameyang in the line-up from the get-go after the events of last week, to not even phase him in more gently as a substitute, comes across as a move from someone urgently turning to a former work colleague to get him out of a bit of trouble.

What was more alarming was the chopping and changing of formations and positions during 90 minutes. After starting out in a 3-4-3, Tuchel changed to a 4-4-2 in the 2nd half. That included the rather bizarre sight of Sterling dropping deeper to play in central midfield.

All 5 subs were made and Chelsea ended the match in a 3-1-4-2, with Mount moving back inside again. When that call was made on the hour mark, half-time sub Ziyech switched from right-wing to left wing-back. The look on his face as the message was relayed spoke volumes.

At the moment, Tuchel is struggling to get a response from his players, either by what he’s doing on the training ground or by the critical appraisals he’s been issuing through the media post match.

According to FiveThirtyEight’s Soccer Power Index rating, Chelsea are weaker right now than they were at any point under Frank Lampard.
