Part two: chalk and cheese compared to the rest we had last season barring Tuchel. He’s giving me Tuchel/Conte vibes when they first joined pure confidence. He wants to WIN!!

Absolutely true.

 

How many leaders have we given him to work with though?

If I am being generous:

 

Kepa

Silva

James

Enzo

Gallagher

Chilwell

In truth though it is just Silva and James.

 

I think we also have a lot of young players that can be moulded into leaders. Colwill and Nkunku come to mind.

Yes we have young players capable of becoming leaders, Wes Fofana being another.

Let's see what Pochettino can do with them.

Properly endeared himself to Chelsea fans instantly, he knows and knew what it’s like to mess with us, just love the positivity

I especially liked the bit where he said;

"I really couldn't wait to leave Spurs. Everyone knows them mugs ain't ever gonna win nuffink. They even converted their empty trophy room into a day time kiddie crèche the losers. And don't get me started on Levy. The bald, miserable Dr. Evil lookey-likey twat. C*unts the lot of 'em. I hate Tottenham."

Yes, he will fit in nicely.

Telegraph Sport understands that Chelsea are no longer working with Gilbert Enoka, the mental skills coach who works with the New Zealand rugby team and who was employed on a short-term consultancy basis for a period of last season. (@Matt_Law_DT) #CFC

Why did we? what was the point of him? So bizarre to me.  Now he has been swept away.

Feel like things actually got worse after he came in.

Spoke well in his interview I thought - happy, proud and ready to fight seems to things he's keen to achieve here.

i am happy, i like Pochettino

Him too !!!

Been deflated about the club for a little while, but Pochettino’s interview has lifted my spirits about our prospects going forward.

Got really good vibes about his plans and the vision he has for the team.

I know it's very very early, but the interview is almost a start of him being a cult of personality here, really good vibes like you say!

I still need to form some new neural pathways and get used to seeing him at Chelsea, though.

Compared to Potter, who has a charisma of Toyota, this is a breath of fresh air. Has to be also said Frank is not very charismatic speaker. His legs did all the talking. 

 

Confidence, emotion, will, desire, and an abundance of ideas and plans all came across during the interview.

Everything has been so flat for quite some time. I agree Tuchel had a winning mentality at the start, but always stand by the Tuchel we fired was far from the Tuchel we hired. The whole thing, mainly sanctions, where he was the sole face, wore him down unfortunately. Potter was just too flat and the poor football continued, and Lampard inherited a box of problems with no idea or path to change. 

We’ve got a good one in Pochettino. There’s a little bit of all our top managers in him - Jose’s fire and determination, Carlo’s charm, Conte’s will. Let’s do this!!

Nice to see positivity from the manager. Despite what we have been through last season, it's important for the new manager to set his standard and expectation, not just the cliche of taking it game via game and do the best we could.

I was generally impressed by his Interview. Mostly because it riled so many of my Spurs supporting mates and Twitter followers. It also made a few Arsenal fans sit up and take notice. They couldn't believe that he called us the Greatest team in England in the last 15 years 🤣🤣🤣 I really liked his passion and I know at this stage its only talk, and he has to walk the walk, but I think he really does have something to prove.

Pochettino feels more like a Chelsea manager than Graham Potter ever did!

Got every hope we will grab back our top 4 place next season.

Wow i am pleasently surprised by him. At Spurs he always seemed a bit downtrodden but here is shows some energy and fight and also having an eye for the human side. 

At spuds he had Levy putting a ceiling on what could be achieved, at PSG he had far too many prima donnas doing what they wanted. Here there is a long term plan, financial backing, and virtually all of the prima donnas shifted. in short a dream job, provided the recruitment and support is maintained.
