NEXT manager to get the chop 22/23 season.

No sympathy for Chelsea.

Started playing some brilliant football when Tuchel took over from Lampard and they had Werner, Havertz, Giroud and Abraham up front.

Went down hill right around the time they signed Lukaku who didn’t fit their way of playing (doubt that was a Tuchel signing…) and injuries to Chilwell and James proper f**ked them up.

Werner never performed. As for Lukaku, whether Tuchel bought him or not, it was a big money signing and Tuchel did not seem inclined to adjust his tactics to accomodate what Lukaku could do in the right tactical regimen. Inter use him a certain way, as do Belgium. Tuchel chose a different path. He's certainly a top manager, but also a stubborn man.

Feels a bit premature to get the new manager bounce before we play them on new years eve...

Werner was excellent.

People just saw him miss a couple of chances and ignored everything else. Him and Mount were excellent that season.

Why would Tuchel change Chelsea's whole system to accomodate Lukaku? Especially when they'd previously spent big on 3 or 4 players to play a certain way.

I hope EM isn’t watching and looking for someone to hold his beer.

Excellent? 10 goals in 56 appearances. Missed TONS of gilt edged chances. He was excellent in Germany.
Not at Chelsea.

Blimey the beeb reckon the decision as taken before the game against Dinamo Zagreb ... seems the new regime really just didn't like him and it was mutual

Not really. But he scored way more often for Leipzig than he did at Chelsea. His wiki page says he is "an intelligent player". I'd beg to differ. HE constantly made poor decisions at Chelsea. He could be one of these guys who excels at clubs just below the very top level. Some guys don't like the extra pressure that comes with playing at a huge club.

It makes it all the more stranger he was allowed to go on that summer spending spree then

Sounds like Boehlo is a five star asshole. This also shows the difference between the top managers, who have very definite ideas about who they want (and why) and lesser managers who are just glad to have money behind them. I seriously doubt Pep has anyone "foisted" upon him---though Grealish does beg the question. Good luck Potter, you'll need it.

Not so long ago ... that's quite the career acceleration.
There's plenty to admire about not playing the game of managerial hirings and firings in this country, but going abroad to expand your knowledge and experience. I liked Roy Hodgson for having had that breadth of experience, even though it didn't work out so well for him.
