TUDOR gets SACKED!!!

This is the latest news i hear from Romano. Juventus seems lose their patience after they suffer lose streak, and sacked him immediately. I know he has been so shite in the last games by unable not winning his club three points, but i think it's too fast to sack him.
They obviously do it in the wrong time.

There are two candidates to become his replacement

1. Spalletti
2. Palladino

None of the names above makes me interested in, but still worthy to try consider there is literally no best coach available at this moment. if i were to choose between those names, i'd go to the Spalletti instead of Palladino. More exp and ever won a scudetto.

I am a fan of giving coaches at least one full season to prove their worth. But most big clubs are not patient enough to wait that long because of the huge investment and pressure from fans. Big clubs have a massive fan base that could mount pressure on the club management and force them to make swift decisions. However, an eight-match winless run is too much for a big club like Juventus.

Igor Tudor, unfortunately, has to go but the listed replacements don't look good to me. Luciano Spalletti was a hero in Napoli but his last job was not impressive. Juventus needs a high-quality coach who has modern tactics. Let's see what Massimo Brambilla will do with the club as the interim coach.   

I actually expected this to happen though because Juventus has been struggling for far too long and it's not pleasing to the fans anymore. Fans are one big force in a big club's decision making room and even though their revolt is not always far from the truth but it's sometimes better to allow these coaches more time. But this Juventus nightmare is worrisome, they haven't won a game since this October with their last win since September 13th. Even Tudor knew his time was definitely up. I wish Igor Tudor the best but he has succeeded is dimming the hope of Juventus in their champions League qualifying matches with only 2 points so far. I hope things get better with Massimo Brambilla on the steer until a permanent manager is recruited.

One big truth about football is that all coaches needs time in other to get his team to play the way he wants, but while implementing your playing pattern, you must have it in your mind that winning and getting the desired result is a must, due to investment made and higher expectations from the fan base, if not,  you are definitely going to lose your job, so am not surprised of the sacking of Igor Tudor.

Igor Tudor, unfortunately, has to go but the listed replacements don't look good to me. Luciano Spalletti was a hero in Napoli but his last job was not impressive.

It's not fair to use the failed project of his Napoli team to judge him because we have seen that coaches easily flourish when everything are in place, and we as football lovers, we don't know all that is happening behind the scene, because left for me, Luciano spalletti is not a bad coach, he just needs the right project for him to succeed.

I would like to talk about especially Isak here...

He missed pre-season training and didn't play in many games at Newcastle first. This had a big affect on getting ready for the new season. He still has 0 goal scored at Liverpool in the Premier League and Champions League.

And now he is suffering an injury due to adductor pain and I don't know the return date.    They paid 145 million euros for him and so far he is a disappointment. Just like Wirtz still is.

I've said it timelessly that some players just needs to understand that they'll easily not live up expectations again the moment they leave the club that brought them to limelight — that's not because they aren't good enough to still perform at top level but because the new club's style of football might be very different from that of the club they were giving world class performance week in, week out.
Alexander Isak was considered as the second best striker in England after Erling Haaland up till the end of last season but immediately Liverpool came calling, he lost his focus at Newcastle and wanted the deal to happen by all means but right now, even his replacement at Newcastle Nick Woltemade is having a more productive campaign than him who's yet to register a goal in his new club. For a player like Isak that I love his style of football, I'll love to see him score multiple goals again but I think his situation should serve as a lesson to other players.

What you have said does it really make any sense ? What makes you think that Isak will not live up to expectations because he hasn’t scored a goal, well for your information he has scored a goal at Liverpool, Isak is still one of the best strikers in the premier league right now and will remain that, Isak is having a bad time currently because he didn’t have a club training for almost 4 months as a professional footballer do even know what that means for him, he will definitely have a set-back in his performances, and small clubs refusing to sell players do you even know what that means, Isak is still trying to find himself after not having a proper Pre-season, talking about Nick Woltemade he is playing very well and scoring goals, if Stuttgart had treated Woltemade the way Newcastle treated Isak he wouldn’t be scoring goals and having match fitness.

Newcastle didn’t handle the Isak situation and saga very well, when a player have asked to leave, you don’t allow it to become a fight, you let him go, even the big clubs sells players, so why would a small club like Newcastle not want to sell players, I will be here to remind you about Isak was he hit the ground running once again, because you think moving to Liverpool was a mistake.

Dominic Solanke has not impressed the Tottenham manager. This situation has sparked rumors that the English striker might be sold in January. Meanwhile, Tottenham is targeting Samu Aghehowa, a 21-year-old Porto player. However, it seems this will be difficult to achieve as Tottenham will compete with Arsenal, Newcastle, and Nottingham Forest to acquire the Spanish forward. Tottenham may also return to approach the 25-year-old Ghanaian striker, Antoine Semenyo. Tottenham attempted to approach Semenyo last summer but failed.

I don't know if it's too early to conclude that Liverpool are currently heading to that lane of struggling to win games because the spree of loses is unethical and I don't see this Liverpool team to be that weak. Now the most important question all Liverpool supporters should be asking is where problem is coming from because with the kind of squad they have they would be unbeaten in the league and probably also in the champions league but look at where they are now.

Liverpool decline in performance has been a major surprise so far, even though everything seemed to be going according to expectations at the start of the season. Four consecutive losses indicate that Arne Slot squad is facing serious problems, and it’s difficult to pinpoint the exact cause. Broadly speaking, I assume that the new signings are struggling to adapt, while at the same time they carrying the burden of high expectations due to their hefty transfer fees.

However, I don’t want to say that Arne Slot has failed to manage the squad transition properly, especially after spending a significant budget to build an ideal squad. There is still time for Arne Slot to prove that the squad he has assembled this season can deliver the expected trophies, but of course, they must bounce back quickly and start winning in the upcoming matches.

The same as my thoughts I was wondering where exactly the problem is coming from. Is it from the coach? not coordinating his players as expected, or it's from players playing the way they feel would be okay, because obviously when there are huge losses, like in a particular club, the players and the fans feel disturbed, which is not encouraging at all. Could you imagine Liverpool's recent matches? Before these consecutive losses, they were actually doing so great when the season started and the players were performing accurately, but since they started losing a game, all the players performance  have been very low and poor at this moment. I just hope they work on themselves, and also the coach should try and switch to different patterns, especially when meeting with big teams.

Tudor's departure from the team after these poor results was the outcome many had already expected. We need to understand that a team like Juventus is still unaccustomed to such results. They are a team that has always aimed for success. They have brought in some of the world's best players, like Cristiano Ronaldo, in the past and have a history of great success. Their current position was criticized by fans and management, and they will address this issue with a new manager.

The steady replacement of a new coach is going to affect the players performance because they need time to adapt to the new coach game pattern. I didn't see this coming for Tudor in the beginning of the season, it's a pity that he couldn't give Juventus what was expected from him. I hope that the new coach will make a difference on the team performance

I'll never doubt Isak or wonder if he'll leave up to his expectations on the long run cause he's a proven premier league player and I've seen the things he's capable of while he was at Newcastle, Liverpool is just undergoing an unfortunate phase currently but when they bounce back I believe that Isak would be at his best again, yes he's still one of the best striker in the league, even though the teams form is currently affecting him currently, he'll bounce back.

 I think that saga with Newcastle also played a role to Isak's poor form, they didn't make it easy for him to blend with his current team and made him frustrated at some point but I believe in Isak since I've seen what he's capable of, I just hope that the team reorganize themselves and get back to winning again.

Every club certainly does not want to change coaches in the near future because the loss is not only the players who have to adapt again to the new style of play but also financial losses, but if the coach cannot fulfill what is desired or what is agreed by both parties then the next step is to replace them with a new coach, this is natural especially since Juventus is a big team that has high targets.

It should not be surprised since Frank already dropped Solanke from his squad. Solanke has no chance to play anymore. So far he only played two games, and ended with injured. If he is willing to leave, he must do it asap.
The current manager of Tottenham is not need his service anymore so i see no concrete reason to stay much longer just to wear the eat belt on the bench.

Just let him go. That's the best for him.

If they find a team that will take him, they'll let him go immediately, but you know it's not the transfer window. Solanke might leave the team during the mid-season transfer window. He only managed nine goals last year. He's not performing at a very high level for Tottenham. So, I find it normal that he's being asked to leave the team. Tottenham could use a better player instead.

I agree with you mate. Juventus need to get the right coach that can give them confidence and hope of winning Scudetto. It's been a while they've been struggling to get the perfect coach for the job because I feel that's the main problem of the team. Juventus has quality players, therefore, winning the title shouldn't be a big challenge for them.

[Akbarkoe]

When defeats hit valuable players and coaches were questioned, regarded as unable to control or rather everything did not match the expectations of the audience, this criticism often arises when a team experiences a sudden decline Ekitike, Wirtz, and Isak began to be raided in several losing matches, 4 consecutive losing matches, even Arne Slot was affected it was very natural, just like what had happened to Manchester United before when performing poorly, people's views will still criticize.

I don't know if it's too early to conclude that Liverpool are currently heading to that lane of struggling to win games because the spree of loses is unethical and I don't see this Liverpool team to be that weak. Now the most important question all Liverpool supporters should be asking is where problem is coming from because with the kind of squad they have they would be unbeaten in the league and probably also in the champions league but look at where they are now.

It is clear that 4 consecutive losing matches in the English premier league show that what Liverpool have is no longer effective whether from players or from other sides such as strategy and placement of players and formations that must be changed, we see how Liverpool are quite dashing at the beginning of the season they experience confidence and will defend the English premier league title.

Furthermore, the match against Real Madrid in the champions league, Arne Slot should have evaluated every mistake in the strategy of competing in the domestic league and the defeat of Galatasaray, at least if they are difficult to win, the difference in goals that come in should not embarrass themselves as a big team.

Dominic Solanke hasn't really impressed much since he transfered to Tottenham. I don't even think he is suitable to their style of play at all and I think it's better to sell him and get a better player. Since Harry Kane departure they haven't had any striker that gives them the same vibes and I even think it will be difficult to find a better replacement. Richarlison is even trying a bit but still not up to Harry Kane standard yet which means they still need to sign another striker.

Samu Aghehowa is not a bad player and maybe he will suit their style better who knows but the interest from other teams will make it competitive to get his signature. They just need to go for any good striker, I think Semenyo is also a good player but the Central Forward position is not his favorite position and I doubt if Bournemouth will be willing to let him leave so soon.

[GbitG]

alexander Isak and Hugo ikiteke should be played together.

Arne Slot would have to change his formation to accommodate these two strikers, he'll prolly have to play a 4-4-2 formation and i am not sure if he would fancy that. I think his favorite formation is the 4-2-3-1. That said, it is obvious that something has to change, Slot has to find new ideas to bring Liverpool out of the situation they are in now.

This is the perfect time for Slot to prove himself. Since he joined Liverpool, it has been smooth sailing for him, it is interesting to see how he recovers from this poor run of form.

I agree with you that Aron Slot should need to try something different, like he should need to change his tactics, instructions, and formation because their recent match results were too bad and all the team has already revealed his weakness. So that's why Aron Slot need to work on new formation like to used new player with new formation and tactics.

Liverpool spend a lot of money to get some vibrant progress in their legacy but unfortunately all of their money make nothing good. As soon as possible Aron Slot really need to find a better way for his team; otherwise, these bad toes can impact his profile.

"since Isac"  Damn, that remark killed me 

As for Isak, he's a rubbish player. Firstly, I'm starting to doubt his sport ability – perhaps his success was more determined by how Newcastle worked for him. Secondly, I believe Liverpool made a huge mistake by signing a fraudster who refused to honor his contract with his previous employer. I think there's a certain karma involved here—Liverpool took on the filth, and now it shows up in literally everything.

This is not the Isak of Newcastle that we know. He thought that coming to Liverpool will make him shine better but look at what's happening to him. He hasn't found the back of the net since he came to Liverpool. If he was in Newcastle, he should have scored more than one goal by now. How will Isak feel with his new club. Too many professional players and too many unexpected losses.

It is true that if Isak had remained at Newcastle United, he could have scored more than one goal by now. I believe the drama between Isak and Newcastle United in the summer transfer window is the reason why Isak is finding it difficult to establish himself at Liverpool and do what he was signed for. I haven't lost hope on Isak; I still believe he will turn things around at Liverpool soon.

[Coyster]

Dominic Solanke has not impressed the Tottenham manager. This situation has sparked rumors that the English striker might be sold in January.

Do you expect him to impress the manager from the hospital bed? Solanke has been injured for a long time now and even had to undergo surgery, he is yet to fully recover. I do not think there is a better striker than Solanke in the Spurs team, not Richarlison and not Tel, so i am not so sure about the rumors that he is likely to be sold. A fit Solanke is an arsenal in the hands of Thomas Frank and i am pretty sure he would use him.

TUDOR gets SACKED!!!

It's only natural now because, after all, in more than a month, Juventus has played eight games without a single win since their last victory in September, which seems to have made the club's management impatient with the situation.

Tudor has tried many things, but they seem to be losing control because they can play well for 90 minutes but not get the desired result, as they always face issues in the end.
Given this situation, Juventus are now a bit shaky, but this could also spur them to bounce back quickly.

The next coach might be Spalletti, but I think it would be too risky to appoint him. There's no denying he's a coach who knows the ins and outs of Serie A, but since he hasn't stayed long with any one club, this could be a problem.

[Cryptoprincess101]

Tudor's departure from the team after these poor results was the outcome many had already expected. We need to understand that a team like Juventus is still unaccustomed to such results. They are a team that has always aimed for success. They have brought in some of the world's best players, like Cristiano Ronaldo, in the past and have a history of great success. Their current position was criticized by fans and management, and they will address this issue with a new manager.

His sack was due after all, going 8 games without a win is very unfortunate because it's been a long time i saw Juventus in such a winless streak. Juventus is one of the biggest teams in the Serie A which they deserve to be among the title contenders but after they made good performance when the season began, suddenly they just begin to draw many of their matches and for them to end about 5 draw games, only for them to meet 3 loses so it was as a result of a clueless coach who doesn't know the right approach to use for the team that would have made them return back to winning matches. I think that the team needs a coach who will be more intelligent than Tudor.
