It was eden Hazard though.

Well if TT can get the best out of Neymar, Mbappe, Aubameyang and Reus he could get the best out of Havertz, Pulisic as well, among others...

We shall see I guess. The hard part with this team, it is not clear who should we get the best out of. 

Disappointed to see Frank go, but I wish Thomas well in the job. He has my support.

Hope he get can our squad firing and we can have a big second half of the season.

Glad to see we got the next manager sorted, sorry to see Frank go but the show must go on. Tuchel is meant to be a real tactician and a man manager, let's hope they are all true

I've got to come clean, TomCFC85 is short for ThomasTuchelCFC85

Them Scum are already into him for his club fallouts...

If he can turn Werner into his new Aubameyang it will be dynamite

It's not happening. I have been saying it since the City defeat. Are we really going to be that much better than the 6 teams ahead of us from now until the end of the season? I don't see it, especially when you see that 3 of those teams have games in hand on us that would take them well ahead.

Of course everybody is free to think whatever they want to but I think people who are very excited about Tuchel really don’t understand the legacy of Frank and how much he meant to older fans.

I’ll probably get excited about Tuchel in a few weeks time but now is too soon for me to look forward to anything. Too soon.

I am one of the older fans, and as much as i loved Frank as a player and as a manager, move on and support the new guy. I've had a lot of more important loses in my life than to get upset about a football manager getting the sack. Thanks Frank and welcome Tuchel.

The most under whelming appointment I can remember for many a year, but let’s see how he goes. UTC

To be fair though to him, it might be that people aren’t so into football these days, can’t take the whole thing seriously when there’s a pandemic and you can’t go to the bridge

I read that Tuchel has always been able to get his strikers scoring so I’m looking forward to seeing what he can do with Werner and Tammy.

Dunno how sarcastic you are being but that is funny. 

Ha I know he's not going to be here for 10 years. 

I also know deep down this will all probably end in failure. But there is always a part of me that is a little excited. Are we the club that matches his ambitions? Is he able to blend youth and experience. Can he tactically outsmart other managers. Will we win the league next year? Could we make a surprise run now in the champions league? It could happen. And that excites me. 

I genuinely believe we have one of the best squads in Europe. I genuinely believe we should be competing for the title and the champions league and anything less is a waste of the talent we have in the squad. It's why I was so disappointed in our recent run, it's why I wasn't as prepared to give Lampard time to turn it around as others. 

But Tuchel for all his "faults" and how "combative" hasn't actually 'failed' in any job, he just falls out with the board. Which happened with Jose and happened with Conte....but guess what, they won the league and took us on an exciting ride. I'll take that.

Win against Burnley and Spurs and we could be top 6 already with plenty of games remaining...

Now, I dont want to be called a plastic again, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't excited for Tuchel taking over. I have done some research on the man in analysis from sport pundits and fans, and it seems that he does have something to offer. I think we have the squad for his style of play and he can make it work. 

I am trying to supress my excitement and I do not expect much anything different tomorrow giving that he would only have 1 training session before the game. I do admire him that it took him an hour to get them on the pitch after his appointment so that's a positive sign. 

I do hope that the fans will welcome him to the club eventually. After Frank, any coach would have been crucified and its understandable that each and everyone of us has their concerns. Good luck, Thomas, and lets hope you will bring some joy to our games and make the fans dream again.

There's nothing plastic about being excited/optimistic for the future of your club!

Cant get Touche Turtle theme out of my head now.

Obviously speaks excellent English.

Wouldn't surprise me at all if he's studied the hell out of our squad and previous games over the last few weeks, and makes a very fast start in the job.

I would hope not, if people are outraged over the Frank sacking then fair enough that their right as a supporter but they should take it out on the people that took the decision.

Tuchel was offered a job and accepted it, he's done nothing wrong.

I've only ever meet one German who doesn't speak excellent English and that was a 80ish year old kiosk women at a metro station in Berlin.

Yeah, he clearly had the greatest respect for Frank while he was talking to the Chelsea board behind his back.

What a ridiculous thing to say
