As soon as once more, I’m seeing arguments about Graham Potter and Thomas Tuchel after one other Chelsea defeat.
I get it, I get the frustrations and questions on why we sacked Tuchel. I get the questions and considerations over whether or not Graham Potter is that man or not. I share those self same considerations about Potter myself, and I’ve and can proceed to spotlight the issues that I imagine he’s doing fallacious, corresponding to our setup final night time not being compact sufficient and being far too simple to play by way of leaving enormous gaps in midfield. I’m nonetheless going to be backing him although.
My level is that the issues at Chelsea proper now stay deep rooted squad issues, and it actually doesn’t matter who the supervisor is. Till we rebuild this squad and intestine out the toxicity, we are going to proceed to be on this similar cycle.
A supervisor is available in, there may be some type of a bounce, mentioned supervisor does nicely on events and papers over some cracks, after which these burning points which have nonetheless been flaming away begin roaring once more after being fuelled up. We’ve seen all of it earlier than during the last 4 years at this membership, with most of the similar gamers being right here all through.
Our points come from years of poor recruitment and determination making on the membership, sadly, so any new proprietor or any new supervisor is robotically dealing with an uphill battle.
We all know that this squad lack sturdy mentalities and management when the chips are down. After we are doing nicely issues are superb and the ambiance picks up, however after we battle, heads are dropping all around the store and no person is standing up.
That’s the mentality points we face. However most of all, the squad severely lacks high quality, as I’ve been saying for a while. So many of those gamers are simply not adequate. They will do bits on events and look good for a recreation or two, however they’re nowhere close to constant sufficient.
And till we intestine this squad, rid the gamers who’re contemplating their futures and people who simply aren’t adequate, and substitute them with high quality and strong mentalities, then we are going to simply proceed this cycle and proceed arguing about managers.
