Thomas Tuchel

[Nibs]

I never really rated Lampard, this job was far too early in his career for him to take.

Of course I loved the idea of Lampard taking over and taking us to league titles and trophies, but that was nothing more than a pipe dream, he's way out of his depth.

Throwaway comments like that are meaningless and so easy to make.

He wasn't way out of his depth when he got us top 4 and to an FA Cup final last season, despite a very depleted squad with the transfer ban, but he is now?

And so all successful managers, even the likes of Klopp, Pep, Mourinho, Conte etc - when they go a season without a trophy or lose a few games or lose a game badly, does that mean they are out of their depth too? 

Some folk are just never happy and always looking for the next best thing like a kid in a sweetshop.

We get a lot of those, @Nibs. Know everything, no patience and want it all and want it NOW!!!!

Unless they can come up with anything sensible or even mildly thought out, I just ignore the f**kers.

Sadly, they rarely do. 

I blame Kenyon.

Based on how everyone was so sh*t last year outside of Liverpool, thats very overstated. We only got top 4 because of teams like Leicester and Spurs choking, we finished behind a dire Utd team ffs but nobody seems to mention that.

Also funny how everytime there's a reply to me or I get mentioned in a negative way, that old bum @yorkleyblue can't help but "like" that comment, pretty pathetic if you ask me. No balls to say anything straight up

Regardless of circumstances he did achieve top 4, if you magnify any achievement you can always find external influences which impacted the outcome but the reality is he achieved his target and therefore has earnt the right to turn the ship around this season.

I will be probably the first to admit that I'm wrong

Hahahahahaahaha

Oh thank you, I needed a good laugh, that's cheered me up

But clearly not that good otherwise PSG wouldn't have just sacked him!!

Getting sacked at PSG has to be a pretty big lowpoint.

So even if he has done well in his previous teams, he doesn't look like he could be better than Lampard.

There's no chance we appoint Tuchel. If we sack Frank midway through season (I don't think we will) then I have become convinced that Schevchenko will be our interim manager. 

Rodgers, Hassenhuttl and Nagelsman more likely appointments in the summer than Tuchel.

Sorry, going through thread I hardly read because boredom. 
 

This one didn’t age well...

Oh fantastic, I've not made a wildly wrong prediction on here yet. That's tickled me!

Maybe after the game of the season as we lift the champions league trophy Tuchel will suddenly remove his mask and say

’It was I, Shevchenko, all along!’ 
 

Then you can come back and quote me!

Another example of Tuchel trying to be diplomatic towards a player who 'outcast' under Frank. 

I'm starting to feel that everything he does screams 'see, I'm not actually a pain after all, I can do the political stuff'.
