Can someone explain why Tuchel is being so heavily criticized? This is his first season with BM and they are currently doing better than last year (points-wise), where they won the league. I would also say they are favorites to go through in CL. It's not like it's his fault that Leverkusen are having a miracle season.
It's their ambition. The club is always in turmoil if they aren't leading the table. That usually means they go up a gear or two and win the lead back quickly. This time, they did that as well IMO (as evidenced by their fairly great points total) but since we are having a miracle season, it seems that the ambition is becoming toxic and they attack each other. Personally, I think Tuchel is already finished since he succumbed to the pressure and apparently ruined his relationship with the team already. Which is pretty good for us I think since Tuchel had them performing to a much higher standard than they achieved over the last seasons - especially considering that the squad was insanely thin in the first half of the season and is now paying tribute to it with lots of injuries.
So essentially, Tuchel is finished, Alonso doesn't seem to be available and every other candidate is much worse. I think they have a rough time ahead of them.
