Premier League 2022/2023

Nagelsmann would be stupid to touch the job.
He would be done in another 6 months - 1 year from now

Don't agree. We didn't see Potter after being given time to build. Time is at least 1.5-2 years for every coach.
Now, Tuchel is top 5 coach in the world, so maybe yes he is worse than Tuchel, but that doesn't say much.

Further proof that the man who takes decisions at Chelsea is seriously stupid:

You can imagine what kind of storm is going on inside his head all season

Bohely is an idiot that I can agree with.
But on potter:
*made poor tactical decisions
*in game management is very poor
*man management is lacking
*doesn't command respect from his player
*didn't have enough of a voice in opposing some of the signings being made if they didn't suit what he wanted.

I'm sure there are more. But we can agree to disagree.

Potter to Leicester could be a good fit for both parties.

disagree certainly on number 1, possible number 2 as well.
We can somewhat agree on number 3 and 4.
Number 5 was beyond his reach. Tuchel who has much more stature in football was done by the new owners to clear the way to the signings they wanted regardless

Just gotta to show that despite his issues, how good xavi is going, first real job in football, at a top 5 club, in crisis and is about to win the league.

Yeah that's true. But tbh, our financial situation and lack of a competent replacement has also played a part in the decision to keep him. We don't have the money to pay off managers if we want to fire them (Setien said a couple of years ago that we were still owing him some of his pay-off money while Koeman out of his own good will, decided to forget about some of his pay-off money). The replacement aspect doesn't need much explanation as there were no quality managers available until maybe Nagelsmann, but he's probably going to Chelsea or Spurs anyway. The rest of them are shit.

My god Liverpool's defence is comically bad.

No Van Dijk no party.

If Chelsea could finish they'd have been 2-0 up in four minutes.

Think Liverpool will scramble a win.

A md of Kante-Enzo-Kovasic
and a defense of Reece-Fofana-Kouli-Cucurella-Chilwell

are good enough to eliminate Madrid by waiting on a midblock and hitting on the break

Not sure about their attack and GK though. That's where they are weak

 

[Horatio]

That Iniestagoat was right about Nunez. He's horrible.

 

[Horatio]

Now bring in Salah to haul in the win.

 

[fergus90]

We are up to 7th, the Emery masterclass continues.

They've looked very good tonight, as has Joao Felix.

Havertz is so unbelievably poor in front of goal.
