Man City v Chelsea (FA) Sun 8th Jan 2023 16:30 GMT

Disappointing defeat yesterday at the Etihad. It’s always gonna be difficult when we’re playing a top team like City but the manner of the defeat is very concerning. There was no rhythm or structure in the teams play today. I thought the youngsters gave it a good go but City were clearly a level above and once the first goal went in you felt it was going to be a long day at the office. We are clearly hampered by injuries but I feel that Potter just isn't at the level to manage a club of Chelsea’s size. Sacking Tuchel was a massive mistake by the new owners and it looks like we’re not going to get any European football next season.

Burley is a bitter twisted man towards Chelsea; regardless of how Chelsea play or what they win he will never give a compliment. If we win the league, a cup or any trophy, Burley will say that we were lucky or the other team didn't show up.

Just mentioning he agreed with Frank Lebouf. Frank is still very much a Chelsea man and has much love for the club from his time with Luca, Franco and Co.

I haven't seen anything but Thiago Silva's wife made an interesting comment on Twitter:

"I just think that going back or looking for solutions when you take a hasty and totally wrong attitude is not wrong"

Obviously that could be entirely her opinion, but I wonder if Thiago shares that viewpoint?

What exactly is she saying there? Looking back (too Tuchel) or looking for solution when you take a hasty (sacking tuchel) and totally wrong attitude is not wrong?

I know it is a little cryptic but my interpretation is that she believes we were too hasty and wrong in sacking Tuchel.

We definitely were. Todd staying with Tuchel until the end of the season and then bringing in Potter during the summer would have been a better idea imo. However, what is done is done and we can't change the past. We have to back Potter no matter what or the circumstances will only get worse if he is fired.

I think it all started with Roman being refused entry to the UK just after unveiling a massive building and regeneration programme of the ground.

From the point of that plan being shelved and the lack of contact with the owner it's been a gradual but continual decline and lurch from one bad decision to the next.

How do we know that with the recruitment team brought in that Tuchel wouldn't have taken us down the road we wanted.

To me the conversations are far too black and white. Most managers don't go with kids except those that are ready now because they themselves aren't in the job long enough. Not just here, anywhere. Anywhere that doesn't have sustained success.

If Tuchel had been given similar assurances of longevity and a recruitment and negotiating team structure put in so that he could focus on just doing his job, who's to know that Tuchel wouldn't have improved our football and created a legacy.

All we know is the football was dire and the results patchy at the end of Tuchel's eight. Now the football is dire and so are the results.

And were competing until the final day. When was the last time our domestic season was finished in January. Full season finished by March.

To be fair, he wasn't refused entry. He withdrew his "investor"visa renewal application after rumours that the UK were going to ask Russians for details of where their wealth is from.
