I'll say one thing for us, we're never dull...

It appears he has improved them by about 20%, which is scary given how good they were. Whereas their closest challenger, Liverpool, have probably gone backwards about 10% after losing Mane. Nunez has given them nothing yet, but once he does get going, it'll be difficult to see him replacing what was lost in Mane, let alone improve them.

Everyone else were miles away anyway. Funny how things can change so quickly though. After Brentford, some so called experts were questioning ten Hag, and that Utd should have brought in a big manager like Conte when they had the chance, to compete with the big 3 managers at City, Liverpool and Chelsea. 4 games later, and ten Hag doesn't look so bad, whilst some are questioning Tuchel.

So, who knows where we'll be this time next month. However, I reckon Haaland may have added at least another 10 goals to his tally by then.

Wow, no sooner do I say this, Tuchel is sacked. I know Chelsea have not had a good start and he was under pressure, but that seems pretty incredible. I watched the Chelsea game last night. Yes, they lost. However, it was still away from home and on another day they should really have scored one or 2 goals. It just seemed like one of those nights where it doesn't go your way. Surely the club needed to give him a chance, especially with new signings coming in and trying to settle down.

Let him spend £300m in the transfer window and sack him 6 days after it closes....Football is broken.

I was listening to Talksport on the way to work this morning and they were talking about Tuchel and his future. I was shaking my head in disbelief listening to them.

It seems absolutely crazy to spend the money they have with the managers backing to then go and sack that manager. Then you've got the busiest period of football coming up with very little coaching time for a new manager to go in there and make a difference.

Utter madness.

They have been walking that line for years now though. It's madness, wasteful etc but on the whole it has worked for them. I wouldn't want it but each to their own.

I was looking forward to listening to some of the Talksport youtube 10 minute clips later on.

I can only imagine Chelsea have firmly agreed who the replacement will be, and that replacement is someone who is expected to be very special. Otherwise, it seems ridiculous. Any team can go through dodgy spells, especially at the beginning of a season when players may be at varying level of fitness, match sharpness and new players are coming in. It is crazy that a manager can be generally considered to be one of the best managers in the game, and then a handful of games later get the sack. Maybe there are non-footballing reasons, or they felt Conte gave him the knockout blow by winning the battle of the handshake.

Would be interested to know how Chelsea fans feel, as they'll be a lot more clued in with the club and what they think of Tuchel
