Milanista Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 Man, I think Tuchel and Boehly have done a poor job with Chelsea. Tuchel deserves way more pressure than he gets. He complains and cries like he hasn't spent insane amounts of money. He shits on his own players, and then when he needs to rely on some of these guys, because of injuries or whatever, he wonders why they play badly? How do you make Koulibaly look above-average in defense? He's one of the best CBs in the world. Defensive strength is supposed to be Tuchel's saving grace, and he can't even do that right? Chelsea tried to buy Milan's star LW, Rafa Leao. In the last few days of the window? 80m + Pulisic? Lol. You just paid 71m (euros) for Cucurella, an above-average RWB, while Leao was the best player in Serie A last year and the only LW in his age bracket better than him is Vini Jr. Tuchel is a fraud, I have no idea why he gets so much leeway. He doesn't take responsibility for anything and blames his players. Lukaku is a striker who I don't like, as a person, he's a weird guy, but Tuchel wanted a striker and ruined him. He called Conte, Lukaku's "daddy" and Lord knows what else, and doesn't play the guy in a way that gets the best out of him? If Lukaku was at Spurs with Conte, people would be amazed by him. I hope Newcastle takes Chelsea's CL spot. I don't think top 4 is unrealistic, it'll be tough, because Spurs will grind out wins, and I think Newcastle needs to learn how to do that, which will come with time, experience, etc. So many next year? It would probably be better to deal with the EL first, but I think top 6 is not an unrealistic position for Newcastle this year, not at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s always nice to have fans of other clubs wish you well— a CL spot would be nice. But I want make it clear that I liked your post because I agree with your assessment of Tuchel. Maybe not as forcibly. I agree that Tuchel is something of a fraud. The pressure is coming. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 They’re the original dickheads of the league, oligarch comes in and transforms them by literally having a blank chequebook due to a life of corruption. They’ve been run in the worst possible fashion with no thought whatsoever about sustainability and Boehly has come in to pick up the torch. Good thing VAR have them the points though today, wouldn’t want all that money to have gone to waste Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingxlnc Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Their team looks bang average though considering all that money. 250m should be making you title contenders especially from their strong base and a decent manager in Tuchel. I don’t think they’re anywhere near. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullie Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 I was thinking whilst watching MOTD the other night, there's got to be quite a few pissed off players at Forest. Not just the ones who brought them up who will soon be out of the team, you expect that, but also players they bought early like O'Brien and Toffolo. They've been bought and then replaced within the same transfer window. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
