3 levels of failure there. My goodness

I know, we're in the middle of match #2 and people are already writing off the season

I know I've been away a few years but my god things have gotten gloomy around here

He's giving me some flashbacks to young Drogba days

For real, that's a pitch they make to kids and their families. Our academy is aces. I'd like to keep Hall but not because it's going to hurt our academy rep if we sell him and he becomes a good player and makes a ton of money.

Same. I was always worried when we played them because of him, not any of their players, him alone. Not sure he's going to take us to elite but I don't think we've ever been elite and he can certainly be one of the most successful managers we've ever had imo. He took Spurs to a 2nd place finish and f**kin CL final for god's sake.

I'll be happy to eat my words but I've been on the Porch train since he was sacked at PSG. The man turned Spurs into a contender, with a competent club behind him he's going to win trophies. I haven't been this optimistic since Jose returned.

This contract is insane. 99% positive he doesn't make it the full 5 years and we've just lit millions of pounds on fire

It sure can. Playing in tight games and big games in general helps. He'll learn a lesson from this.

You don't think we've been competing the past 2 seasons?

It's only a mistake in hindsight. Puli got into two great scoring positions, which is what Tuchel can control, he just didn't convert. When he took Timo off we were ahead and defending comfortably, I think he made the change to be more dangerous on the counter. It may have worked if Puli was able to play Havertz in before that cynical foul from Camavinga or had he converted one of those two chance.

Very reactionary to sandbag him after this match. I was as disappointed as anyone he didn't score, being American, with the two clear chances he had. Being in those positions he should have scored the first, the second was well defended and would have been difficult for anyone. I was mostly disappointed he didn't put either on target and at least force a save. If you think he's taking up minutes of someone more deserving then it's fair to call for him to be sold. As it is I think he's a great player to have in the squad but never a nailed on starter.

Take it from a US citizen, you do not want that guy running the club. I said 'no thanks' out loud when I read he was interested in buying.

Hate to rain on a parade but when we sack managers around this time we win Champions Leagues or at least make it to the final. Goodbye Thomas?
