Thomas Tuchel — Where It Went Wrong (We Ain't Got No History)

Thomas Tuchel is my favourite Chelsea manager of all time — more than Mourinho, more than Conte, more than Ancelotti, more than anyone else.

We need to lay the groundwork today to ensure we win tomorrow — and beyond. It will take a process, a long drawn-out process, with plenty of defeats and pains along the way. The sacking still has not fully sunk in yet and I still wish he were part of our journey. He did get his way — because of his results — but in the end, his bad decisions caught up to him and he could no longer justify them. He wanted to win and he wanted to win now. Our first aim must be to take bad results on the chin and make the team younger and more attacking. Now compare that to the time and the money spent. Sadly, Tuchel showed through his actions that he did not want to be a part of that process. But if the whole team is bad, you blame the system — tactics and utilization, i.e. What message does it send to Carney Chukwuemeka that he’s one of the world’s best teenagers and the manager won’t give him a minute even when everyone else is out? Ironically, despite the gulf in quality and experience, Lampard and Tuchel got sacked for a similar footballing reason — they couldn’t balance defence and offence. It is important to remain rational and not emotional.
