Manchester United learned their expensive lessons from sacks on Moyes, Van Gaal, Mourinho and huge budget failed on transfers. They gave Solsa more patience, more time and get some success so far. It takes Solsa 3 seasons to bring Man Utd. to where we are now. I am still confusing on the capability of Solsa as a coach but only look at the result now, he and Man Utd get something good.

Chelsea need to give Frankie more time as he loves the club as same as Solsa. They were wrong when they fired Mourinho seasons ago and now Frankie.

I think Frankie will soon to be a great coach in few seasons. No one knows all the transfer in summer was made by Frankie's decisions. Abramovich often invades too much in transfers of Chelsea.

In early of this season, people talked Frankie made good decision to sign a free contract with Thiago Silva who improved the confidence and quality of Chelsea's defense. Werner and Havertz are failures now but as you said, they are new to Premier League and need time to adapt to the league. Not all players can play excellent in first seasons as Bruno Fernandez.

Good luck to Frankie and I hope he will return to Stamford Bridge again.

Mourinho still shown he loves the club so much. He said good words to Frankie and in his speech, I see he loves the club, and has due respect to Frankie.

Every new manager looks like a good choice for Chelsea until they start their job. Chelsea doesn't believe in the rebuilding process as seen in the duration of previous managers they hired and sacked. Best of luck to him.

The Spurs vs. Liverpool looks tough to decide but the home team will take the W. Neither team will settle for a draw since both of them are chasing the Manchester teams. Spurs looks better defensively.

I refuse to buy this bullshit that Lampard created a toxic environment, because for me he’s a humble player and humble coach. In my personal opinion he became victim of his own success, and sadly he brought too many player’s with little or no premier league experience and that’s why he failed to turn things around.

The club should have stood by him in this trying period after-all OGS also passed through similar problem that when Man Utd was under performing but the club backed him, presently Man Utd had turned the table and in-form now same with Arteta in fact ex Newcastle player turned soccer analyst  Alan Shearer once taunted Arsenal that they will battle relegation this season, when they club was struggling in league with losing streaks, he was backed and now the team has pick form, I believed Lampard need more time to turn things around while some of his approach and tactics in some matches are questionable particularly the formation of the team, well let see how Tuchel steer the club in their subsequent matches

Sacks often come from bad results and internal conflicts that can be between coach and president, big member in the board director. This news need to be verified and after many months later we might know the truth behind the sack. Do you remember how long it takes till the day the secret behind the sack of Mourinho and drama on the conflict with J.Terry was revealed?

Lampard as a coach is a good one even he is a young coach and has not too much experience in that position. The sack shows how fast things in football can be changed. A few rounds ago, Lampard and Chelsea was still on the top and people shown them respect after the clash with Tottenham.  Chelsea with the sack will go to another chaotic season and it is not helpful for them to rebuild their team. In my opinion, Lampard should be given this season and the next one as Chelsea can not blame all things on him on the bad performance and adaptation of Kai Havertz and Timo Werner in the Premier League.

With this strange season, Chelsea can climb back to top 4 in few matches if they win all.

Something to do with his intense enthusiasm when he is on the field? He was seen several time complaining alot to the officials especially when Chelsea lose so he probably has that same kind of attitude towards his players as well.

I dont think that this was all his fault, Chelsea has few players that play on the same position and also they lack the player needed to be the playmaker on the field . Well lets see how Tuchel does in Chelsea, probably there wont be that much difference until they sign the players needed for the changes

Its not the first time that Roman sacked a manager and fir a top tier team he sacked too much as he got sacked 14 coaches during 17 seasons . at a rate of one year and two months for each coach only .
This may be normal in the world of finance and business, but in the world of football this is called systematic sabotage and destruction of the club's image from premeditation and surveillance .

a merit for the extraordinary clairvoyance powers 

btw, did anyone see WHY exactly Lampard got the sack? apparently, there was a toxic atmosphere surrounding the club which he actually created. The infamous Dailymail have an article about the whole thing^[1]...looks like Lampard didn't get along with the players and also a few members of the board! wtf? not the type of stuff i would expect to see linked to a club legend

It remains to be seen how Tuchel will set up his team to play in the premier league because i see this challenge as the biggest in his coaching career; if Tuchel can pull it off, it would be a very good recruitment by Abrahamovic; Can Tuchel bromance with Thiago and the german players could help him assert himself to the premier league sooner? time will tell.

Its good that the coach of a team is one of the team legends but frank lampard still not have the required presence to manage the things inside the team but i dont really expect many things from the new coach

Lampard sack letter was prepared after the game against Leicester City Sarri won his first major title as Juventus boss last season, Massimiliano Allegri winning several titles does not make him any better, Tuchel is a good attacking coach just what Chelsea needed

I quote my post from 28th December 2020 where I assumed that Lampard will be fired and Thomas Tuchel will be the new Chelsea coach. Well, almost exactly one month later it seems I was absolutely right with my assumption (I should rename my user to tyz nostradamus  ).

Wanna see it and the one (in the future) for Arteta, for Zidane (soon?), for Pirlo (if Juve fails), for Koeman (when Barca loses everything)...etc
Lampard isn't bad but wasn't lucky. Better to find another team to start another experience.. What is shameful for Chelsea is the amount spent in this hard time of covid without being in the first spots!

I also agree with it. This is one of the easiest games for Manchester City. They have been so awesome for a long time. They didn't start the league nicely but they did a huge thing by climbing to the 2nd place. They can even be the champions this season.

FA cup is not looked down upon, but the huge teams in the league have too many games to play, they have another cup I think if I am not wrong (sorry not english, just interested in premier league) and they have FA cup and they have the league and they have champions league. That means these teams play in excess of 50+ games a season.

Just the league itself is 38 games, with champions league that alone means 50+ games for most of them, and if you put in FA cup and any other, we are talking about fatigue that would make most players tired to play another game. Even playing a game un Sunday, another on Wednesday and another on Sunday again would mean 3 games in a week, and do that multiple times in a row and you are looking at serious injury trouble.

This is why most teams try to play bench players or even youth in order to rest big names. Which one would you rather succeed, league? champions league? or FA cup? Obviously FA cup is the most expandable one.

Someone made a nice poster for Lampard - from Hero to Zero
Thomas Tuchel should be the new Chelsea coach and maybe this will have some kind of shock therapy for their next match but I am not sure how fast he can fit the Premier league play system after managing mostly German clubs and Paris Saint-Germain from 2018-2020 after he got fired from PSG.

*I don't know what Abrahamovich was thinking by agreeing to the sacked coach...
As a Chelsea fan I was surprised by the fast action Abra did by fired Lampard and handing over the tactician to Tuchel. The coach who was fired from PSG will definitely only make an awkward strategy for Chelsea players. I hope the Chelsea player's mood doesn't get any worse.

Regarding Tuchel going to Chelsea, if that happens there might be a problem. I read that Tuchel is a coach who often has trouble with the club because he doesn't like being regulated. Meanwhile Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is the boss who controls a lot and that happened to Mourinho and Conte. Maybe Massimiliano Allegri could be an option besides the tuchel, he is also a good coach, he won five scudeto with Juventus.

Manchester City will easily win the match. De Bruyne is injured. I don't think his injury will have much of an impact on the match. West Brom is not a good team, their performance is very pored in this season. And there are many more talented players in Manchester City besides De Bruney. If Manchester City wins the next match, they will move to the top of the points table. Very great come back. They were not even in the top 10 at the start of the season

I really hope Manchester City do that later. That will take them to first place in the standing since the start of the season. So far there is no doubt to say Manchester City will win the tie even if their previous encounter had to share points. Great opportunity for Manchester City to take that position away from Manchester United. I don't want to see the WBA force its players to park the bus when the game starts, but it is possible that this strategy will be used to prevent the City from reaching first place.
