how can you sack an amazing proven coach like Tuchel (avg 2,1 points per game at Chelsea, 2,3p at PSG, 2,1 at Dortmund, back to back CL final with two different teams) for a mediocre core coach like Potter (1,5 points per game at Chelsea and never ever reached >1,7 p avg in his career) is beyond me. The Americans do not understand in football it is all about the right coach and strategy and not about buying some fancy expensive talents. They should sell the club to somebody who knows what they are doing.

no Tuchel has, now Chelsea is just a mid table team just like when Tuchel took over from Lampard

I explained why in my opinion the last 8 months weren't top 4 level but it doesn't mean it's on TT. No chill well no James, Covid and being pretty safe after on 34. match day at top 4. If Tottenham and Arsenal would have been better last season, I'm sure that Chelsea would have more points as well because the mentality is just different when you are seriously challenged. It just proves that TT was a f**king good coach as with all the sh*t going on last season, he managed to have Top 4 nearly secured on 34. match day. you don't know the reason? it's pretty clear, had to rebuild f**king whole defense?? chillwell not 100% at all yet. No Kova, no kante for most games, Transfers coming very late. Many players not sure if the stay or not. Seriously is not always so easy to perform top level.. It's not on the manager but on the players, you need to focus 100% to win but if your brain says it basically just for fun now and other teams fight to stay in the league or to make it top 4 it's just psychological a different thing. or is Pep sh*t because he lost 3 out 7 then? or Pep at Bayern when he lost a lot of games after being 20p away. Can't motivate them can he? Every good coach has a period of time when the team is not performing and most of the time there are many reasons for it. Look at Arteta, needed just time to built a nice squad, and sort out the players, Pep same, Klopp has a lot of injuries right now..but a good coaches they turn it around and seriously TT just did not get a chance when he deserved the chance.

So what? PL is not just 7/8 months. The reasons were no Chilwell, no James for the majority of that period? See how Potter does when James is missing? And btw poor form? Actually the only poor form was after those two were injured in December when there were so many covid cases and everyone got their games postponed except Chelsea. And at the end of the season with 5 points of 4 games. But! Last season we were constantly top 4 and had 7 points to Tottenham and 1 game less on match day 34! 7 out of 9 games were won from match day 26th to 34th. 3 games with 6:0, 3:0, 4:0. There was no chance to reach Liverpool and City and that's how it's been for the last part of the season and top 4 seemed super safe at that time. This explains for me why the form was not amazing in the last part of the season. I've seen it a hundred times with teams in the league when the there is nothing to play for anymore. When city was way ahead they lost 3 of the last 8. When Bayern is miles away in the Bundesliga they suddenly start loosing a lot of matches, PSG same. Looking back at the stats again. Still the dumbest decision to sack Tuchel. Yes the football was not the most entertaining in many games in his last half year but chilly and James were key for his games. This season he would have done great after the transfers had settled in. Potter will be ok but he is not good enough and he will not win any major trophies.

no, he's been really poor the last games. Only against atletico and freiburg he was decent. He is way too overhyped imho. But Leverkusen have been poor this season and might get a new coach very soon, so maybe that will help.

Bullsh*t. His style of football has been attractive apart for the last 20 games or so. Even in this row of games there were very attractive matches against Tottenham and Liverpool in the FA CUP Final. It's not easy to play amazing football if they park the bus and you don't have any good attacking players that create space. Also he showed attractive attacking football at PSG and BVB. And what dodgy league record are you talking about? With the squad he had, he achieved the maximum 3rd place. Is it luck to make 2 CL finals, 2 FA CUP Finals, 1 League Cup Final in just 2 years? Every top 5 club will consider him when they sack their manager. Apparently Boehly came in and showed Tuchel how Chelsea is supposed to play 4-3-3 in the future. Tuchel wanted De Ligt, De Jong, Kimpembe (Source: The athletic). Did not get any of these players. Boehly just wanted to focus on data for transfers while for Tuchel it's important to talk to the players and look at their character as well. Boehly wanted Ronaldo, TT didn't. This sacking was planned for weeks. Boehly just wanted a yes man and that's what he's got now.

What can they say without pissing of the new owner and being transferred next window. I'm pretty sure the main team was behind Tuchel except for the forwards (what a coincidence that Zyiech, Pulisic, Harvertz, haven't posted any goodbyes). They all think they are better than they are. It's not on Tuchel even in the best of times they missed so much chances. And none of them proofed to be an elite premier league player. I don't think Potter will suddenly make them world class players. They are just not good enough. Same with Werner. They are not bad players but nothing for the Top 4 and ball-possession football. They need space to shine.

probably conference cup next season with potter..He's not proven at all and the season already started. Good luck to him. I will give him until the World Cup. Then a new "long-term" coach comes in.

does not make sense to compare. While for Lampard is was the middle of the season and he did not deliver at all. With Tuchel the spirit was clearly broken a bit after the Madrid game last season. Also Chelsea was comfortable on the third Place on the Matchday 32. with 8 points to Arsenal and way better goal difference. So the players were just not so focused as everything seemed already decided which was due to a very good season at this point thanks to Tuchel. It's not really fair as a lot of players wanted to go due to lack of game time or because they thought they were better (even though they are just average players) . Which Tuchel mentioned a couple times in press conference. If 5-8 players want to go, it is not a nice atmosphere and it is much harder to deliver. Should have sorted the players out in the beginning of the transfer market and get a team together as early as possible instead the new transfers were mostly last minute and had no preseason with the team. How can you work on things if you have seriously no time? This is not football manager, you can not buy players from all over for big money and they will perform in the first games on their best level. How can you sack a manager that made comfortable Top 4 last season, came from 10th place to 4th, won the CL, Made it to 2 FA Cup final , 1 League Cup in just 1 1/2 years ?and not give him a little bit of time, let him clear the deadwood and let him work with the new signings. For me this was decided quite early but Boehly did not want to sack him right away because of the popularity he had with fans. So he waited for the first sligh slip in form. For me, it is a pure ego thing to show who's boss as he wants to get all the credit for the future "success".

this year is probably one of the toughest premier league seasons ever. Making top 4 is super hard this with Arsenal and Spurs being in form. Sacking Tuchel for a nobody like Potter is a joke. TT always delivered in the end. At Dortmund the situation was a similar in year two as the squad lost the most important players (Gündogan, Hummels, Mkyhitarian) and they struggled that season especially in the beginning but he still made Top 4 and won the cup in the end. Well, for me this seems like Boehly and TT just did not like each other from the beginning and the first chance to sack him was used. Especially if it was already decided before the Zagreb game. I'm sure the main players were behind the coach. But Zyiech, Pulisic and maybe CHO made trouble but they all should have been gone before the season began. They are maybe good enough for a mid table PL squad at best. I don't know if I ever witnessed a worse sacking. Just make a clear cut in the beginning but this is just non sense. Even ManU seems more professional compared to this disaster.

you realize that these games were under Tuchel and showed how good the team can actually play do you? He always looked good against the Top teams because there is more space and therefore the players can shine because they are all players that need the space. When Tuchel came here, the other teams started to just park the bus because otherwise a loss was nearly certain. The only problem is against a side that sids so deep its very hard to create if you don't have the right players that can win the one and ones. I know Pep or Klopp have them, I don't see them here at Chelsea tbh. So its down to the players and not on Tuchel. It is a shame really, this was a good match. Sadly Boehly seems not to be a smart men.

I guess Pulisic is the adviser of Boehly..🤡

you will see, prepare to be a team that struggle to make top 4 in the next couple seasons. And if Boehly continues to make such stupid decisions Chelsea will be the new ManU. It is no wonder that the teams that dominate PL are long term projects and the coaches can built their team. That is why they are that good. But Chelsea give the coach six games after a lot of last minute transfers, injuries and a whole new defense. just stupid.

probably something happened with Boehly and Tuchel..it does not make sense at all.

dummest f*ckin decision ever...he's a top 3 coach. There won't be a better one out there right now. Boehly will regret this.
