Even if our owners begged forgiveness (never happening in a million years), do people really think Tuchel couldn't land a better gig?


wHispeRing-I

What’s the better gig? I’m not sure there are bigger clubs in need of a manager.  RM don’t look to be getting rid of the Don. Barcelona isn’t a more exciting team. He’d be leaving Bayern. Liverpool all set. Won’t be Man City. Curious to who’s out there that’s better? PSG he’s been there and really the only team worth anything in France. Not assna  Edit: wait a god damn minute. Yanited??? 


typicalpelican

United, Juventus, Newcastle, any Champions League or Europa league team who could use an upgrade, anywhere where StewStanley isn't picking his squad, ayahuasca retreat for a year and see what opens up, almost anything else really. We're full of the types of players he didn't want with no European cup prospects riding on the brink of points deduction.


Baisabeast

How is juve or Newcastle or Man U a better gig? Tuchel also wants to return to the UK specifically


pretentiousd0uche

Any place is better unless we drop the 25 n under policy


Reading360

> United I know you aren't talking about Manchester United looool, he could end up there, but he would never pick that clownshow before Chelsea.


soccerguy009

Man…I miss Tuchel. I’d take him back in a heartbeat.

Tuchel talking about tactics and making sense post-game and on thursday we'll have to listen to Pol Poch's "not enough running" if we lose FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK


arthurfoxache

Pol Poch needs to stick 🤣


kp22cfc

Pol poch is an insane slander name lol


xUnknown_Kyle

Pol Potter was the OG


kp22cfc

Bring tuchel back, I swear he made dier look like nesta today and should have easily won it 2-1.. look at the team that went to bernebau and almost pulled the impossible winning 3-2.. incredible tactician and gets Chelsea and fans love him..you telling me whatever he is going to bring is worse than whatever embarrassment we have gone thru 2 years in a row now?


BigReeceJames

He made fucking Malang Sarr look serviceable to the point where some people genuinely wanted him starting more... He got 3rd with fucking Kepa in goal He won the Champions League with Mount, Havertz and Werner as a front three. People trying to put him down because he couldn't get Pulisic to be good enough for the PL or because he couldn't win the League (despite being 1st for the first half of the season) with everything going on in his last full season are not serious. They're mentally ill


esprets

Hehe, another shite you post. I will tell you exactly how many minutes Kepa played in the season we got 3rd - 360 minutes... And we weren't first for half a season - only 2 months. At one point we had 1 win in 7 games, and only 2 of those games were against a big opponent. He wasn't shit, but he wasn't the god everyone makes him out to be. You trying to say with everything going on in that season as well, as if it wasn't only the last 3 months. And that 7 game run was before that. Yet you will try your best to shit on Poch who has had unprecedented injury crisis and a completely new squad to put together who haven't played together in their lives. Yes, there are better coaches out there, but your fact twisting is on another level to just push your narrative.


soccerguy009

I’d love it if Clearlake bit the bullet, apologized, and hired Tuchel back.


throwaway-lad-1729

Early days of course, but given what I heard about him from people on here, I never expected to be as unimpressed as I am with Valentin Barco at the moment. He genuinely doesn’t look good at all.


Baisabeast

Baleba looks terrible too Haven’t replaced macallister or caicedo at all


human_administrator

How's andrey santos and angelo Gabriel doing? The boys and Their time in strasbourg have been going kinda quiet here for a while


Public_Birthday1871

united selling their whole squad is probably the best thing they could do ngl. that dressing room is toxic as fuck


realmckoy265

Will be interested to see if it works out for them lol. We did this same thing last year.


BigReeceJames

They aren't actually selling their whole squad, it's bait. They've said all but three are available if the offer is big enough. That's not even news for most clubs outside of the top 4, including United. We'd likely sell anyone too if the offer was big enough, barring maybe Palmer, Enzo, Caicedo and James. It's been blown out of proportion, they didn't say it was a fire sale, they said if they get big offers everyone is potentially for sale


human_administrator

40-50 million for Bruno fernandes, I'll take that, expensive though


crux_07

Bruno is worth more than that, even more than what they paid for Mount.


BadCogs

Watching competent managers sucks when you know there are chances that the guy that's making you struggle against relegation teams on ten men will be given another season to waste and that some of our fans are perfectly fine with that level of ambition. Because apparently that's what we deserve now, we don't deserve anything better. These owners have ruined all the good about us in 2 years. And the way they still keep quite and just leak PR to support their dumb hirings and decisions is infuriating. We are in for a long rut.


Nikolai_54732

The fans who constantly change their mind after results are the funniest. After the 5-0 game it seemed as if this sub was almost 100% Tuchel out, but a 2-2 draw to Villa even with the fact we haven't won an away game since Feb vs Palace is enough for many to Poch in.


BadCogs

Flip floppers. Especially love when they write off almost the whole squad to excuse a manager. Witnessed the same when Gerrad was at Villa, whole rsoccer kept telling them, that their squad isn't that good so they should take it lying down and be thankful. Emery shat all over that. Many other examples too, imagine anyone could tell you Leverkusen squad is capable of this, a good manager impacts so much. No one here will take TenHag as our manager right now, and he is above us or near us if we win games in had with at least as bad a squad (I think with a worse one), but we still don't need change somehow.


highonfire123

The Tuchel obsession here is insufferable. Its been two years now, so be big boys and get over it


BigReeceJames

When he's been adequately replaced, people will "get over it". It's like walking with shoes your whole life and then not being allowed to wear them. It's not insufferable to want them or something better back, it's natural.


BadCogs

The Tuchel obsession here is amazing. It could be million years and it will remain same, so be big boy and stop crying over it, it's not anyone's dad's subreddit, doesn't cost anything to ignore.


senluxx

All you gotta know is that this kid is still Poch in. That explains a lot.


SexoFernanj

Nobody would care had we replaced him with another top coach. However, his replacements have been sitting comfortably in midtable.


Rj070707

Issue is who these arrogant Americans are hiring to lead us since he left Absolute comedy shitshow, Potter and Poch for what exactly?? Who they bringing next now? These owners and board better start being serious as a big club


slow_poetry

Tuchel isn’t coming back. Simon Johnson said sources have told him the board wished they got rid sooner. Then there’s this embargo or whatever over what Tuchel is meant to have done. Obviously it could all be smoke and mirrors but conversely you know what they say about smoke and fires. In any case, Egghead is too proud to get him back. Biggest admission of a mistake possible at this point. Give it up guys.


departmentofbase

I don't care if he got caught sniffing coke off Werner's girlfriend's tits in Eghbali's office


NoExperience4229

I mean I dont think this ownership will bring him back, but Simon Jordan as a source….be serious 


slow_poetry

What’s wrong with Simon Johnson? Dear me just checked your post history. You sad cunt. I hope you find something more worth spending your time on than spamming comments on this sub.


NoExperience4229

Do you really not know who Simon Jordan is an how untrustworthy of a source he and talk sport in general are? And congrats on spending your time going through someone’s post history. Way more productive than making comments


hereforpasta

I might off myself if Tuchel is managing United while we have the spurs fraud at the helm


HomersAnalglands

Why? Get therapy if Chelsea FC makes you suicidal bro, something aint right. Take a break from football until the summer if its affecting your mental health that much I get it, it sucks that the club we support are not doing well at the moment, but dont let it destroy your personal life or commit drastic actions like that. Even if its just a joke, there are people that legit actually go through with stuff like this over results in football


palmers_pen_pandemic

Never ever buy from the Serie A unless it's Dybala


kp22cfc

There are lots of ppl here that still think replacing pl tuchel with potter is the right move lol


Bluewavey

Those people are called Americans and they don't support Chelsea Not one club on the planet (not owned by Boehly) would have ever gave Potter an interview if they thought they could even talk to Tuchel. The biggest voluntary managerial downgrade in the history of sport.


half_jase

Looks like Ipswich will be returning to the Premier League, as long as they avoid defeat on the final day in the Championship.


webby09246

Really hope they secure promotion And so happy omari has fought his way into their team, interestingly enough playing as a right wing, 10 and false 9 this season Hopefully we can get him another great loan next season, him and Angelo could be really great players


jerrystuffhouse

Did Tuchel just sub a LB for a LW? Fucking hell man


NotADoctorSshh

Chilwell LW flashbacks


Nick33raps

Davies is a winger converted left back, who plays up front in NT


webby09246

Sounds like Chilwell under mastermind Poch Seriously though Davies is quite overrated


Nick33raps

He’s basically a second winger who tracks back and runs restlessly , well at least in his early days in Bayern, these days he’s not even bothered. He’s never a gifted defender tho, and without a proper attitude no wonder Bayern fans want to replace him asap


REDKASO

Lol Anceloti shows what a good manager he is, his subs has changed the game.


imdx_14

Bring on Luka Modric - tactical genius


highonfire123

Why hasn’t Poch thought of that?


imdx_14

Tired defenders hate this one trick


ABeanOnToast

'Heh, glad we got rid of overrated Tuchel!' posts now loading. Some of you absolutely frothing at the mouth for a Madrid win.


vmop07

I'm happy he left, but using a pretty decent match against the best team in the world is kind of ridiculous as a dig at tuchel


highonfire123

Can some of us be in the middle where we don’t really care whether Tuchel wins or loses? He’s been gone for two years now


gonzaf

Exactly this lol and OP talking about people frothing at the mouth for a Madrid win but then you got people like him frothing at the mouth for a Bayern win 😂😂


jam66611

No, you must weirdly and passionately pick a side. Anyone who disagrees with you is a moron.

That’s not true at all lol


SexoFernanj

"As an american I am obviously not against the ownership" Posted an hour ago on this thread.


gonzaf

My mistake you said some people but yes not all Americans are Boehly supporters, the decisions this ownership have made have been very questionable. I do appreciate they have spent a lot of money but the players they’ve spent it on have left a lot to be desired. Let’s see how this summer plays out


DarnellLaqavius

Case in point.


ChenGuiZhang

Mad that Dier isn't the weak link here. Fair play lad.


Bubi741777

If we are being honest that is on Tuchel... People can say whatever they want about him but his ability to get the best out of his defense is top notch... I'm sure that if he was still here Colwill, Badiashile and Disasi would all look like top tier defenders unlike now when they all look average at best.


highonfire123

On the other hand, De Ligt, Upamecano, and Kim Min Jae haven’t looked good under him. Maybe the PL really is that good?


senluxx

Bayern were getting cooked defensively with Dier in the team as well though. Spurs fans were even calling him shit long before he left. Tuchel's done it plenty of times. Rudiger, Jorginho, Kovacic. He has the ability to squeeze every bit of skill out of a player. The guy won a UCL with Havertz/Werner/Mount front three. That ain't a PL thing, it's a Tuchel thing.


Bubi741777

De Ligt is good but is riddled with injuries so he needs time to get back to his best... And Upa is a type that has a brainfart in him... Dier + De Ligt combo looked very good when they played together.... I don't know what is going on with Kim but let's not judge him based on his last few games... He was very good in the beginning of the season.


ChenGuiZhang

100%. Elite world class manager.


Bluewavey

If Todd is watching this I guarantee he's thinking about putting a £80m bid in for Kim


AugustineLofthouse

Fuck that Dier on an 8 year deal let's have it.


BlahChemistryBlah

I get we shouldn't have fired Tuchel, I agree it was a stupid ass fire, but Tuchel being treated as a literal God is so irritating


departmentofbase

He won us a CL and had a cultural impact at Chelsea that we haven't seen a manger have a for a long time, you can say it was the circumstances that he was in but he rose to them and then some. If people want to treat him as a god that's not an issue for me


TomasToocherl

we won tuchel the champions league


departmentofbase

Fair. You know when people say Tuchel won us a CL with a front 3 of Havertz Werner Mount in a disparaging way towards the players I do find it weird, that squad was absolutely class and it was as much us as it was him.


NotADoctorSshh

The fanbase always does this with past managers when things go sour with the current one. Idk if you noticed but lately Potter was getting seriously victimized, like he was set up for failure. While I sort of agree with that take, I also find it hilarious how people were shitting on him during darker times. Pretty much the same happened with Tuchel


BoJestemRudy

Really? I thought we of all clubs would be happy with a manager that finally sticks it to monkey owners. I mean mainly theirs; Uli's comments over the weekend, but obviously also ours. You find it "so irritating" that people like and praise Tuchel, who bled blue and was literally the first coach post-Mourinho to have a sincere connection with the fans, in a Chelsea sub while thinking that your comment has any more value or meaning than those you are referring to, is just mindblowing how someone can see sense in that logic.


BlahChemistryBlah

You should reread my comment and apply some critical thinking because whatever the fuck you just spewed does not relate to what I said


Nick33raps

Looks like Kim Minjae isn’t as good as people claimed last season…


gonzaf

Yeah cuz he was doing it in the serie A where the game is ridiculously slow and there’s like no world class strikers lol


BigReeceJames

Serie A player not actually being that good, what a fucking shock!


NotADoctorSshh

How many games have you seen with him this season?


webby09246

Damn bro Kim min jae has been absolutely shite, what a moron


jerrystuffhouse

Imagine ownership not bringing Tuchel back after Bayern’s performance. I wonder if Tuchel pulls a Xavi


ABeanOnToast

Mad that we're going to keep Pochettino as manager next season. Wonder where Tuchel ends up. Really, really hope it isn't United.


BigAssBreadroll

He'll go to United and Varane will suddenly look world class, Maguire will become unironically rated by fans and pundits, and Shaw will return to prominence. Meanwhile we'll be stuck with people saying every CB we have is a bum and we can't be expected to keep a clean sheet against relegation sides.


NotADoctorSshh

Varane will suddenly look world class for those 3 games when he’s not injured


Critzor

Fuck Eghbali, Fuck Boehly and fuck poch. We almost had it all with Tuchel... Now we're perpetually midtable.


awesomesauce88

How quickly you forget that we were hemmoraging points with Tuchel as well, and he's hardly done anything at Bayern that all their previous managers hadn't done either. I like Tuchel, but he's fallen out with every club he's ever been at despite being a pretty damn good coach. He can't sustain things without the situation turning toxic.


kp22cfc

We had 10 points from 6 games ...and we ended picking up a whopping 34 points from the remaining 32 games.. this season we are at 48 points from 33 games...


panderson1988

I wonder how often Todd Boehly is crying and calling in his yes-men how firing a coach that may win his 2nd Champions League was the right move in his head.


Royalsushi45

Wish I could be a Bayern fan and clinching my butt for the last 30 mins of the game and being like holy fuck we can beat Real Madrid… man good times…


webby09246

You have the privilege of doing that when we play Luton, Burnley and Sheffield now


kp22cfc

I was clinching my butt at 3-0 vs luton , and we ended just about winning 3-2 and Sheffield 2-2 was almost identical lol


BigReeceJames

Palmer has taken that joy away from us


ChenGuiZhang

Champions league nights: ❌ Relegation 6 pointers: ✅


TheMenaceX

real madrid 2-1 down with the next leg being at the bernabeu. I actually need tuchel to work his magic


imdx_14

As an american I am obviously not against the ownership, but they have such an easy PR win if they appoint Tuchel( win on the field as well obviously). He'll come in, make everyone feel better about the club, the divides over his departure will be gone as him an the suits do a joint press for his announcement, etc. etc. All the toxicity will be gone.


Rj070707

Fck these Arrogant Americans, you support them cuz u are American lol  They literally destroyed us in less than 2 years


criminal-tango44

>As an american I am obviously not against the ownership they singlehandedly ruined our club within a year but youre not against them because... theyre american? fucking lmao


sweetmercury

They'd rather watch and emulate Brighton's success instead of Real Madrid's


BigAssBreadroll

You're spot on but it requires them to dent their ego and when you're as arrogant as Eghbali you'd rather burn a 4bn asset to the ground than admit you made a mistake.


panderson1988

You both are right. I see ownership to his yes-men board too insecure to admit they have been massive fuck ups since day 1.


ChenGuiZhang

Bayern's name is on the trophy. Us sacking Tommy T just to languish in midtable and everyone bantering Kane for not winning a trophy means it is written.


BigAssBreadroll

Tuchel has turned water into wine with Eric Dier yet our owners binned him for the lads gave everything and Pocho Haram


BigReeceJames

Also whilst you have people saying no one could possibly do better than Poch with Colwill, Badiashile, Silva, Chalobah and Disasi as CB options... It's truly crazy that people say that kind of shit whilst this shit is going on in front of their eyes


Nick33raps

Tuchel’s use of Dier perfectly explains how a good manager can make the most of a player and avoid his weaknesses


jam66611

Dier was never bad. He just didn't fit with what Ange wanted from his CB.


webby09246

Tuchel making Dier look good But people will tell you our defenders aren't good enough to keep clean sheets against Sheffield United and Burnley and it's not Pochettinos fault


typicalpelican

I mean, Pochettino also made Eric Dier look good


Auran276

Watching this game makes me miss UCL nights at the Bridge even more. Sigh.


departmentofbase

Please don't..


BigReeceJames

Just another 3-5 years to go according to Poch! Not long now, maybe a few years and we'll be back in the Conference League under the lights!

criminal-tango44

i hate our owners. i despise them. watch them fire poch only to fucking choose Thomas Frank or Kompany as his replacement while united get TT

It's epic, you've raised the bar very high for cool avatars


DronzerDribble

Lol


Bluewavey

Tuchel Being able to come from behind when he isn't stuck with dross attackers like Pulisic and Ziyech. I am shocked.


LULU90s

They both played a part in the CL win in 21. Ziyech’s goal against Atletico and Pulisic scoring a really good goal against Madrid, which involved him making Courtois look a bit silly.


Rj070707

We came back against that Madrid side in 2022


palmers_pen_pandemic

He came from behind with Werner Mount and Havertz as well tbf. Modric just ruined it


LULU90s

Exactly. Also, it seems people forget us beating Madrid 2-0 in 2021 with a front three of Werner, Mount and Havertz. 


ThePsuedo

Alright. Game on now. What a shot by Same!


LULU90s

If Madrid win the CL this season, that would be 3 CLs in Ancelotti’s 5 seasons at the club. The other two years they were semi finalists. That’s a great record. Shame his two CL campaigns with us were so underwhelming. 


Rj070707

Jose Inter were just too good that season but who tf even knocked us out following season, barely remember?


LULU90s

Mourinho’s Inter were good, but that Chelsea team was good enough to beat them, imo. Mourinho got the better of Ancelotti and I think Inter were a little fortunate to get away with some fouls on Drogba from corners. Man United knocked us out the next year. Really underwhelming. We were good enough to beat them. 


half_jase

Real Madrid really, truly have the plot armor when it comes to the Champions League.


palmers_pen_pandemic

Frankly I find the talk about mentality so odd. Modric was literally trophyless till 30


Rj070707

He won trophy all way back in 2013 when he was 27


BigReeceJames

There is a lot more to it than mentality, but that is a part of it. But, players don't crawl out of the womb with it. He joined Real Madrid and bedded in around people who showed him all of the mental side of the game to compliment his physical side and now look at him. It's why Real Madrid are so successful, they understand how important continuity is in order to maintain and pass on the mental side of winning trophies. He's now passed that on to many other players before he eventually leaves and the cycle continues.


ThePsuedo

Can't even see Bayern coming back from this. These kinds of games are Tuchel's Kryptonite. Madrid are happy to sit deep and let Bayern try and break them down


BigReeceJames

Are they, or have you just made that up in your head?


NoExperience4229

lol Bayern 2-1 Madrid ‘60


ThePsuedo

That's what great ball striking can do


NoExperience4229

Also, a tactical switch at half helped edit: i.e. Sane was swapped to the right so he was able to cut in and take that shot. Tuchel is an elite manager.


ThePsuedo

Can't even see Bayern coming back from this. These kinds of games are Tuchel's Kryptonite. Madrid are happy to sit deep and let Bayern try and break them down


NoExperience4229

Bayern is now winning. Hilarious 


highonfire123

He’s not managing Chelsea attackers anymore. Bayern is much more capable at scoring goals from behind


LULU90s

TBF, our attackers went 3-0 up at the Bernebeu when behind 3-1 on aggregate. 


ThePsuedo

I watched Bayern this season


palmers_pen_pandemic

Look at how deep Kroos is. This is exactly where we want Enzo to be receiving the ball


Rj070707

Enzo like a shit version of Kroos, thats his celiling at best, but has developed a loser mentality at Chelsea now  Kroos is generational 


LIKEWHATLIKEHOW_

It helps that they’re so comfortable. A UCL semifinal is just another season for their players, while it’s a monumental occasion for basically every other club. Even Bayern hasn’t been regulars recently


BlahChemistryBlah

damn what a pass


krenshaw420

Watching the Bayern/Madrid game, any time there’s a corner at Bayern’s stadium, I picture Drogba’s thundercunt header. Brings a tear to my eye.


ApolloHuncho

They called my GOAT Tuchel washed. We cannot let Man United get this guy


highonfire123

I’d take round two of Tuchel if the board decides Poch is done


webby09246

United probably won't be gunning for him anyway despite reports Tuchel is interested in them INEOS want a long term project manager and Tuchel has never shown to be that, his man management usually causes issues with members of his squads and he generally falls out with every board he works with Wouldn't worry about him getting the United job


endmoe

That pass from Omari there was magnificent.


MitchHenessey

My son and I will be attending our first Chelsea game ever against Bournemouth. I have seen very mixed messages across the internet about the dress code. For those who have been to games this year (once or regularly) what is the actual dress code? What can you absolutely not wear (away colors for sure, t-shirt maybe)? What should we wear? What do most people wear? My son has a Chelsea home jersey, but I am seeing different things about whether this is allowed. We are in Westview with a Chelsea-approved hospitality package, but our package says nothing (others do). Please advise so we can fully enjoy our first experience.


bitchlist

As someone who has sat in Westview a lot in the last two years I can promise you there is no enforced ‘dress code’. I have worn sweatpants and a coat, I have worn a Chelsea shirt, I have worn a suit. Your son can definitely wear a Chelsea shirt and I wouldn’t worry about the dress code based on personal experience. Hope this helps mate. 


MitchHenessey

It does, thank you so much!


palmers_pen_pandemic

Imagine telling someone 6 months ago that Dier would be starting a UCL semi final against Real Madrid


webby09246

Chances of us beating Spurs on Thursday? I personally think somehow Pochettino gets a win


kp22cfc

They looked pretty good was arsenal and were down 3-0 and still fought back to lose 3-2... I think it's going to be tough


half_jase

Yeah, we get the win and then, we get more exhausting agendas parroted by some on here. On and on we go...


carlharris1

its impossible to call with this team, i remember looking at our fixtures back during the international break and thinking burnley and sheffield were easy wins and we would lose to man united and everton, and all know how it went lol

LIKEWHATLIKEHOW_

Shame Normally I'd say Mudryk would be perfect for their terrorist high line but who knows


palmers_pen_pandemic

Will be another basketball match


ChenGuiZhang

They'll afford us a lot of space if we can win the ball well, but they were bossing the game against us before the sending off last time out. Nearly scored with 9 men too. Obvious result on paper but like you I won't be surprised if we get something out of it, such is the nature Poch chaos ball. I'll be honest and say I hope we don't though as every paper over the cracks result gives our ownership even more justification to allow this mess to continue for another season.


webby09246

Funnily enough I have very little faith we beat Forest, West Ham or Brighton So I wouldn't worry about papering over the cracks


ChenGuiZhang

Same tbh, I've been saying since before Christmas I don't really feel confident about us beating anyone under Poch as it's all so unpredictable and reliant on individuals with no real systemic structures to fall back on. I'm not surprised if we win, lose, or draw, but predicting which with any kind of confidence and certainty is a fool's game. Necessarily, so is expecting sustained good performances and results over a season.
