The only problem this man has the solution to is insomnia. We were once a ruthless club. Now we keep average players on big wages and field them regularly, can’t force anyone out the door and keep a manager in a role even when there is no light at the end of the tunnel.

I know, and I agree to an extent. I just added the point that he’s smart enough to not come back to this mess as a number 1 this time. I watched those sides too, some of our current players would thrive in his system.

He’s had a good start at Marseille in the league. He knows the mess that exists here and as much as he has an attachment to the club, he’s not dumb enough to jump in to the fire.

I think this season so far has had a clear pattern? We’ll have a decent to very good spell for circa 10-35 minutes. Our goals will come from set pieces or crosses. There will be at least one formation change mid game. There will be multiple forced or unforced turnovers. The players will drop...

He looked knackered towards the end of the game. At one point he just ran after about 3-4 players passing the ball around him endlessly in our half and there was no other teammate that bothered to close down. We press in ones and twos and then wonder why we are sapped of confidence and energy...

Anyone else refreshing their phone every so often looking for news that he is gone, when you know in all likelihood that it will not happen? He’s not satisfied with killing the enthusiasm of any football fan watching his team play, killing his own players desire to play, he wants to stick around...

I’m sure Tuchel took a short term Initial contact at Chelsea. He may not do the same again, particularly for us but it’s surely no harm posing the question during the international break.

Hopefully it’s his last interview as a coach full stop. I wouldn’t wish him on my worst enemy. If he coached an U11 football team they’d go and find a different sport to play.

Coming 4th in the group is better than coming 3rd. We’d just add to the fixture list and get embarrassed in the EL realistically. We can barely get 14 players available for a game. I have zero expectations for whatever the fuck we achieve this year. I can’t wait for the terrorist to leave...

The penalty was clumsy from Miretti. Him trying to pass it out under pressure in his box and losing it is a no-no though, you can’t fucking do that.

8 month countdown until the terrorist finally leaves and we can hope for a change in mentality. You can’t defend 1-0 leads in the VAR era, it’ll fuck you.

In recent times we’ve been in this stage around February-March. Now we are at this stage about a month into the season.

Been a while since anyone said (understandably) chill, Euromaxx got dis. In hope, more than expectation this time.

These attributes sadly cannot be utilised to a good extent as we rarely have more than 50% possession and a real lack of off the ball movement. It’s part of the reason why everyone has to take a touch, stop and look up. Rarely ever a quick intricate move. His minutes are being stunted by the...

I imagine the very few remaining Juve fans that think we are crying foul are starting to sway too. The addition of making this a concrete incorrect overturned decision is also clearly detracting from the fact that even without Candreva being there is wasn’t offside in the first place. I suppose...

.

I won’t defend anything he has done in this second spell and have struggled to rationalise many decisions, but I’m still trying to make sense of his logic. He has spoken around psychology and the mental state of players. Perhaps he sees that these players are so mentally fragile and crumble to...

He did take some at PSG and they pretty much all went over. It’s apparently a running joke in the same vain as Cristiano almost guaranteed to hit the wall.

The pride and arrogance of Italians remains unprecedented in my opinion. They cannot mentally accept that they were wrong because their pride will not allow it. It is easier to blame someone else, or in this case blame the technology than to accept blame and take the learning. Sorry if this...

Hard to speak badly about a guy who has offered us so much over the years, but the drop off was inevitable. He’s a player who has largely relied on his acceleration, quick feet and stamina to be effective. He’s been run into the ground and no longer has the pace or confidence to run at a half...
