Just heard that he’s gone. That’s a great shame, as I think he’s a decent bloke who had a great chance of getting them back up. I wonder who they’re lining up and are they going to pump some money in to strengthen the team next season?
They are down anyway so I think I would have stuck with him to bring them back up, but I imagine part of the reason why he's been sacked is because they did spend money in the summer and that clearly didn't pay off!
Stupid decision. Their team is pretty crap and certainly one of the worst 3 in the league - Wilder worked miracles last season and that extra year of PL revenue is so important in the current climate. They should have accepted relegation and asked who the best man to get them promoted would be. Just like Burnley did and Norwich also look as though they made the right call with Farke.
Odd with Wilder, as if the issue was PL form then he would have gone a while ago, assumed they thought he was the best guy to bring them back. He has done a very good job up until this season, but from the owners perspective they have invested and many of their PL signings haven’t lived up to expectation.
Odd game for Tuchel to drop a CB in favour of a back 4. Leeds will give up enough chances as it is - so Chelsea hardly need the extra attacker. But instead, they're playing into Leeds' hands by leaving themselves more exposed at the back. Could have three goals in this game already.
Finally, a correct handball call. (No surprise that Hooper was too inept to give it live. Only surprise is that he reached the correct decision in the end.)
Since being signed, Diagne really is doing his best to challenge Watkins (and maybe Che) for the award of "current PL striker who least understands how to stay onside".
