Conte has just put in another order of horsehair prior to his upcoming press conference.
Thomas Tuchel | Gone to & from Bayern (In Summer)
- Thread starter Bastian
- Start date
Well he’s been in charge of 15 games since he took over and they’ve won 10, drawn 4, and lost once.
We’ve won 7, drawn 7, and lost twice in the same time frame as a comparison.
They were absolute shite today though. Made WBA look like prime Barcelona.
Its not just that but you played a back 5 with 2 sitters v WB at home. Thats weirdly conservative and it made the game a shit spectacle before the red.
To be fair we conceded 6.
West Brom went down to 10 v Burnley and outplayed them just as badly as they did to Chelaea today. Its not an excuse.
I'd say Spurs are a bit better than West Brom though
While I don't disagree he overdid it bringing on a CB for Ziyech while one up I never got this "it's a back five" narrative. It wasn't the case under Conte or now Tuchel.
We literally have our wingbacks pushing high (Marcos especially is almost a SS at times) and we encourage our CB's to make runs forward when the opportunity arises.
They've created an opening now for Sprus!
Getting torn apart by Son and Kane is a bit different than Pereira and Callum Robinson, but other than that, yeah we are the same
Agreed, totally irrelevant to this result, but people can't wait to have a go at United. Particularly United supporters.
What a sad state of affairs.
But Utd push their FBs high and nobdy says we play with a back 2?
Either way, 3 cbs is too much. I think Tuchel realises he cant get his side to score a lot of goals just yet so is overly cautious.
I don't have a particular problem with the Kovacic/Jorginho pivot tbf
And I thought our draw with West Brom was mortifying.
What happened? Genuinely hard to believe.
It's an anomaly. Plus Burnley are shit attackers.
Against a team that knows what they are doing, odds are you're screwed if you go a man down.
We won the league playing like that under Conte and i didn't see many complain.
Funny seeing some Utd fans playing down this result and performance when you know if we had just lost 5-2 at home to fecking West Brom they'd be screaming and shouting for Ole to go.
West Brom are shit attackers as well? Hell Chelsea have better attackers than Burnley. It was just a shitshow
Not against Chelsea
New manager bounce, honeymoon period over for Tuchel with a bang.
How he and his side react to this trimming will be telling. TBH results like that make me less confident they can take Liverpool out of the Champions league shall they meet in the semi finals.

I didn't want him personally but what a load of nonsense.
Absolutely this!
Yup, losing 5-2 at home to a Fat Sam side is peak hilarity.
This! We will give Chelsea manager the benefit of the doubt but never our own.
I'd argue the main reason people get so worked up about opposition players/managers/teams is because there is a section of United fans on this forum who used, for example, Lampard's good moments as a stick to beat Ole with, similar thing with Tuchel.
It begins.
Football doesn't work like that, two games are never the same.
Last time we won the CL McLeish, Dalglish and Pardew all won at The Bridge.
It’s bizarre. But then on a football forum you can’t change your pre-conceived opinion in the light of actual evidence...
When was the last time a Fat Sam managed side scored 5 goals? Buggered if I can remember.
Sack watch! Only seeing this thread now
Sack watch! Only seeing this thread now
To be fair any Chelsea Manager is on sack watch from his first game on.
They had 5 goals in the 9 games before this one!
I wish it was but there were posters stating that he looks good because he shouts from the touch line whereas Solskjaer doesn’t.
Did they actually say that?
I never thought he was overly fancied on here. Certainly not never the levels of the Klopp love-in pre-Liverpool.
Good question indeed.
It was post Mourinho, before Solskjaer, a few posters on here had him as their first pick. One poster in particular said they liked him because he was busy on the touchline and had done well in Germany.
When I asked what they meant they said it was because he was shouting and waving his arms around a lot = sign of a good coach.
A few others agreed that it showed passion and that he was unhappy with the way his plan was being executed and therefore he obviously had a plan...
AVB is free these days.
