Is last year not part of last 8 years bro?

Lol, I mean last season lol

popizaino:


Spot on but my question is that is TT not aware that this set of players are below average and needed to changed them during the summer? Why did he feel he could do wonders with this players making us believe in unrealistic expectations?

Partly board room politics, and partly false sense of confidence maybe. The warning signs were there in our league performances even under TT at West Brom, Arsenal, Villa etc even FA Cup final against Leicester. Some quickly forgot we needed Gareth Bale heroics to qualify for UCL. The board always get carried away after winning something, patting themselves on the back that the signings they made are not bad and the rescue manager has proved them right.

Jorginho and Ngolo Kante makes FIFPRO World 11 men.

Millie Bright and Magdalena Erikson makes FIFPRO World 11 women.

Even this Arteta with 1bn would do better than Fraudiola at City.

If your name is not Thomas Tuchel, you are not the best coach.

TT has performed brilliantly and is still outperforming this squads natural level. I see no problem except the unrealistically high expectations he set with his UCL win.

TT was a steady the ship manager who managed to use defensive nous to win a trophy. You can't use steady the ship tactics to win consistently, in the long run, the quality of the squad will catch up to you. That's why I laughed when neophytes started acting like we have a squad to win the league because a rescue manager who has no mandate managed to win a tournament. Such is no different from what we have seen over the last decade with RDM, Benitez delivering cup tournaments with a disjointed squad then we continue our struggles the next season. The mandate of AVB to get the best out of Torres and play attacking football with Mata and co is not the same mandate as RDM who can park bus, drop Torres and deliver a tournament. Same way RDM next season mandate to use MaZaCar and Torres fell apart, Benitez could ditch that mandate and deliver Europa. Same way Lampard mandate to get the best of Werner, Havertz, Ziyech will never allow him to go defensive like TT did.

We can even go back to Jose mandate to fit in Shevchenko which made us play a disjointed diamond formation and ditch Robben and Duff system and lost us the league. Avram Grant a rescue manager was allowed to drop Sheva and return to our normal formation, losing only one league game in 8 months and reaching UCL final. What TT is witnessing this season is simply the challenge of moving from being a rescue manager to a manager with a mandate and finding out he doesn't have robust enough players to deliver on the expectations set by last season. That's been the story of Chelsea for the last decade, that's why I laughed when people start acting like these players are the bees knees, same players whose natural level has never been more than that of a top 4 team which we have seen repeatedly under several managers. Where we are now in the league is the best we've seen since 2017, and people feel we're underperforming. I say TT is over performing with wack and non-robust players. I hope he doesn't lose hope and is backed with quality signings along his own vision to keep him competitive always, let's stop deceiving ourselves that cup results we achieved with cøck-nyash tactical triumphs last season are sustainable.

so who are they forcing tt to use this time around

Ibime, The quality of our squad is not much different from that of Liverpool and mancity.
Our major problems are our misfiring attackers and unavailability of key players for large periods of time which in turn leads to a lack of cohesion among the playing team.

Our substitute bench is one of the strongest.
James has developed into one of the best right back and right wing back, likewise chillwell. Alonso and azpi normally should be one of the best substitutes for this position.
Thiago Silva and rudiger are world class defenders with azpi, Christensen and chalobah proving to be also be very good center backs.
We have the one the best midfield pairing in football right now in kante, jorginho and kovacic with able deputies in RLC and Barkley.

Our failing attack is where there is much concern.
Lukaku is a very good striker, maybe a system player but his attacking records are no fluke. This guy has more than 400 goals and assists.

We know pulisic is a very good winger, we've seen him play.. Ziyech too was metronomic for ajax.
Mount, havertz, odoi are just too damn inconsistent.

Fun fact, we are not doing too badly this season.
Mancity and Liverpool have set such an astronomical standard that getting below 90 points now seem like a failure. Imagine winning 30 games every season. This was unheard of in England before. Not even the arsenal invincibles.

I think what we need is at least one more world-class proven quality center back, a goal scoring midfielder and time to let our attackers click together.

It can be argued that we have an even better squad than Liverpool and they're doing so well.

We need TIME.

donstan18:

Who should have replaced Alaba and why?

I pick chellini but I checked the nominees he's not even among , Alaba beat other nominees sha

When Liverpool signed mane and Salah, who knew they would turn out to be this deadly? With time they were able to understand themselves better in kloops system. And this took more than one year.
And these players have been extremely reliable. Rarely being unavailable for long periods of time.

Do you think mancity would be the same if Kyle walker and cancelo both go on long term injuries and have to rely on zinchenko week in week out. It won't show??

Our 1st 10 games of this season showed this squad is capable of challenging for the league.
There have been soooo many interruptions for a lot of player that hinders team cohesion.

Again, we need time to better adapt Tuchel's philosophy.
We need a creative goal scoring central midfielder like debruyne. Kovacic is good in other areas but lacking in this as a central midfielder. Our midfield is seriously lacking in creativity.
We need new center backs.

Our attackers need to start understanding themselves better.
On an individual level, we have good attackers.

They are just not consistent enough. Havertz, mount, odoi, pulisic, ziyech. Good wingers, shambolic output. Attack is our biggest headache

I shock at what I've been reading here over the last 6 months bros.

People expecting TT to win league with Ziyech, Havertz, Mount, Odoi, Puli while opponents are parading Salah, Mane and co.

A Christensen who is never more than one mental meltdown away from committing a blunder being hailed as a great defender, same Christensen that we saw under Conte, Sarri and Lampard who should be looking for contract at Southampton now, suddenly courting interest from Bayern because of TT

A Jogginghoe who has been everybody's bitch in EPL since 2018 suddenly being hailed as a premier DM.

An Alonso who we couldn't sell for £10m despite hawking him around Europe being made to look World class by NL pundits.

A Rudiger who was near useless under Conte, Sarri and Lampard and could not garner more interest than a half-hearted loan bid from Spurs suddenly feeling like the.most important player in the squad and being courted by the likes of Madrid.

TT is the rising tide that lifted all boats in our defensive players. Some people wondered why we didn't lock down contracts in all these players, it's because they were useless before TT, we saw no need to.

This is why I always say here TT’s tactics won us the ucl.

Well, if he's really willing to wait, I'm glad. He's being our best manager in a while if we are being honest. I know you like to discredit his UCL win but he did it beating not one but three of the best teams in Europe. However, I agree that a 38-games competition is a different ball game but I'm looking forward to the next transfer window and see the players he suggest, these ones are trash.

How on earth do you win Best goalie and not be included in FIFPRO?

Is this not witchcraft?

Werner, Ziyech, Pulisic ( we are not going to wait forever to see him stay on his feet and start churning quality performances week in week out).
Barkley, Loftus-cheek, Christensen, Kepa ( we cannot afford to keep a £70 million on the bench.
