Thomas Tuchel

[ToffeeTim]

The fact he hates Sahin makes we want him so so much more

 

[efcste97]

Tuchel should be our first choice imo

 

[Kenshin]

From The Independent:

"Tuchel's biggest problem is that the players, so often on the coach's side in these disputes, are also against him. The 43-year-old's assistant, an old-school disciplinarian by the name of Rainer Schrey, was so hated by the squad that he was asked to leave the club this summer - the only question, now emphatically answered, was whether Tuchel would follow him."

From the Mail:

"This weekend, Sahin was once again at the heart of a dispute, after Tuchel left him out of the squad for the final. The decision was openly criticised by other players after the game, even as Dortmund celebrated their first title in five years.

'When Julian Weigl is injured, Nuri is the only one who can really replace him properly in defensive midfield,' said captain Marcel Schmelzer.

'It really shocked me, I didn't understand it at all. The coach would have to explain why he did it. We all completely stand behind Nuri.'

With such open criticism from his own captain just hours after the cup triumph, Tuchel must have already begun to pack his bags."


Doesn't sound purely board related to me.

See there is one thing here that is different.....

If we win a trophy, none of the players would be mardy arses about it because we don't usually win trophies. So if he won a cup, beat manager in 23 years no question if he dropped Baines or Rooney along the way

Nein danke.

Ok, I'm out

 

[bluestevon]

Unfortunately we still don't have a defence though. We could potentially just about get by on the threadbare striking options we have, if we were hard to beat and able to keep clean sheets, but unfortunately we're still relying pretty much solely on Pickford for that. It's why I'd give any manager the benefit of the doubt until he at least has a chance to sort out that unholy mess in January.

Simple solution till then mate, you either play very attacking high line with Keane and holgate, or play really deep but play the players with pace for the counter with lookman Vlasic and niasse

 

[royalblue66]

Except it's not even a full season so why would you think like that?

Looks like the knives could be getting sharpened already.

 

[Kev The Rat]

Just get out

 

[Nymzee]

If he comes (????) he is getting no free pass this season. Expect top 6 and a cup at least ...thats what some people expected from RK - why should he get treated any other way ?

Because we're a quarter way into the season in the bottom 3 with a mismatched squad, he'll have no real time between games with the players and we're already pretty much out of 2 of the 3 cups.

Just get out

'kin hell he's not even in yet and we've turned.

EV-ER-TON

What do you make of it all Nymz? Who should we get?

 

[bluestevon]

We are 18th. 8 points from 9 games with a Minus 11 goal difference.
Realistically, we're out of the Europa League after being beaten by Lyon.
We should probably get dumped out of the League Cup tomorrow night.
FA Cup, granted. Doesn't start till January.

We will be in 2 comps within 2 weeks.

We will still be in all four mate, unsworth short term will give us a huge bounce, which ironically for him will likely make us more attractive for one of our choices as manager.

His hair is really strange...

If he beats Chelsea and gets us through the Europa in some miracle fashion, he can have the job regardless of who wants it.*

*Unless Tuchel, Pep or Alex Ferguson circa-2009 wants it.

We can't play with a high line because of the lack of pace, even with Holgate in there. Baines is an utter slug but he's our only left back so he has to play, and we don't have any quick midfielders who can make up ground and cover when the opposition counter attack.
