Great watch, love the little anecdotes
Next 9 matches after Frank's departure:Jody reckons on the podcast that just before they were sacked, they had planned out the next 8/9 games and they all looked winnable. They were top at the start of the season and dipped with a tough run of games.
I have to say, I don’t think they were winnable. The team spirit had gone. They’d stopped playing for Frank unfortunately. The performance against Leicester was terrible. No fight. Very much like Ole’s last game. The death March.
Interesting and they do look winnable fixtures. Unfortunately the form of the team and the manner of the defeats suggested that the team had stopped playing for Lampard. The Leicester defeat was shocking.Next 9 matches after Frank's departure:
- Chelsea vs Wolves (PL) = 27/01/2021
- Chelsea vs Burnley (PL) = 31/01/2021
- Tottenham vs Chelsea (PL) = 4/02/2021
- Sheffield United vs Chelsea (PL) = 7/02/2021
- Barnsley vs Chelsea (FA Cup) = 12/02/2021
- Chelsea vs Newcastle (PL) = 15/02/2021
- Southampton vs Chelsea (PL) = 20/02/2021
- At Madrid vs Chelsea (CL) = 23/02/2021
- Chelsea vs Man United (PL) = 28/02/2021
Tuchel won 6 of those 9 matches, and drew in 3 (against Wolves, Southampton and United)
Tough games were Wolves, Tottenham, Atletico Madrid and Man United.
It was the City defeat that was the turning point for me, that first half was a criminally incompetent performance. And when that happens with one of the best defenders of this generation on the pitch there's only one place to look.Interesting and they do look winnable fixtures.

I doubt there was a clause that went for a year considering he was sacked in January.Really good interview - very insightful about his time as manager. He’s been quiet since he’s been sacked, I wonder if there was a one year clause which meant he couldn’t speak?

Could be looking at some of our young players he knows well, though maybe he does us a favour and takes some of our unused players.He’s back! Got the job at Everton!
Get innnn
Hopefully we’ll do him a favour and send him a few players. I wouldn’t be against players like Hudson Odoi spending a season on loan there. Maybe a good move for Gallagher too.Could be looking at some of our young players he knows well, though maybe he does us a favour and takes some of our unused players.
Would Hudson Odoi want to play for him again? Frank barely played him even when he had no other wingers.Hopefully we’ll do him a favour and send him a few players. I wouldn’t be against players like Hudson Odoi spending a season on loan there. Maybe a good move for Gallagher too.
Gallagher is ready to play for us next season.Hopefully we’ll do him a favour and send him a few players. I wouldn’t be against players like Hudson Odoi spending a season on loan there. Maybe a good move for Gallagher too.
