Their recruitment is so erratic. They're the football equivalent of throwing darts at a map and buying wherever it lands. As a result they've got a squad with no cohesion that's not gelling, and not nearly enough minutes to go around. I think I could name nearly 15 guys off the top of my head just for the front 3.

So that's their problem. Well that and they insist on playing Mason Mount.

In serious danger of having to basically write off loads of player contracts. The later in the summer transfer window, the more desperate they will get
Can see the likes of Levy and the Italians picking up loads of their current squad for peanuts or on ridiculously favourable loan terms come the first week of September

Mount hasn’t played the last few weeks game and we’re still dropping useless points to bang average teams. He isn’t the problem. He’s had a rough season but, to me, he remains one of our most important players. Hopefully we can sort his contract out.

I don't get why people are so keen to make Potter out as an excellent manager simply at the wrong club at the wrong time.

He was fucking terrible. Borderline clueless. His reputation is and should well be in tatters. To walk into a side that under the previous manager won the champions league and was in multiple cup finals, had 600m+ of new players, and to drop them into the bottom half of the table is deserving of the sack. And ridicule. Their worst ever manager apparently.

Yes he exceeded expectations at Brighton, and yes he is a 'cool' young-ish mod-looking Englishman that some had a romantic notion could one day manage us. But Brighton have done just as well if not better since he left, because they have a good recruitment set-up and are capable of finding the right players. It now looks like he was at the right place at the right time there.

Ultimately he was found out, way out of his depth and not good enough for the top level. It was a stupid move, one he wasn't ready for, but he was nowhere near good enough to go for it.

Plus he gets £13 million for his incompetence !!!!!

For example, don't work for a club with arrogant over-entitled wankers populating the board.

That was not the problem. The only thing they are really interested in is success.

Nagelsmann does not really have a ball possession idea. And you cannot just play vertical. And - you have to adapt your system to your players - not the players to your system.

Just one part of his mistakes.

Tuchel has serious baggage apparently. Enough to turn an entire dressing room against him at Chelsea according to 'rumour'. Doesn't seem to bother anyone at Bayern, so it must have been something serious 'in-house' at Stamford Bridge

He's been there what, 5 days? Things were blissful for Tuchel at Chelsea the first 12 months. But soon after that articles kept coming out about how players felt drained by approach and once the ownership change happened, he struggled to get along with the new owners too. It wouldn't surprise me at all if there was friction between him and the Bayern board/players in about 18 months.

I personally wouldn't have sacked him. He's a great coach but him being difficult to work with has been well documented since his Dortmund days.
 
Saw a mad stat before that this will be only the 3rd time kante has played at home this season. The other 2 games were under another 2 different managers. It's very likely his 4th home game of the season will be under a 4th manager
 
Klopp would be a good choice, at least it will stop him whinging and he can fist pump a different shirt.
 
It must be mad supporting these at the minute
As Blues we know exactly how our team is trained, drilled and what the group of players will do.

These must wonder if *insert player here* is included to *insert any job on the pitch here* or bum Karen in the Harding Stand.

Great signing player after player, but there is no structure at all. Mental.
