Pochetino Sack News: https://footballwave.com.ng/2024/01/10/after-a-premier-league-loss-to-a-championship-team-yesterday-one-of-the-top-four-english-managers-was-fired-today/?fbclid=IwAR0qaz-SEPsQIh34LoCePzub-pdbBviVjIPZM7I_1VVrwmbHMub8djLr1V4
If this news about the sack of Pochetino is true according to, then it's really a sad one for Chelsea even though some fans wouldn't agree with this as a sad news. Chelsea ought to have giving him time because that's what the team needs to improve, no coach will come into an overhauled club with entirely new players except for Silva and start doing magic with the team. Perhaps yes or perhaps not maybe this decision could bring in a different performance to the team based on the personality of the new coach that will be filling the space.

In my opinion, it will be wise and welcoming if the Chelsea management can bring in Antonio Conte to manage this Chelsea team. He Conte has been in the club previously and knows much about Chelsea's style of play and with his professionalism I feel he will be one of the best man to manage and bring back the fire to this soft and dull current Chelsea squad.

This is just a rumor and I think it is too short for Chelsea to want to fire Pochettino. I mean he is still half a season away from Chelsea and there is still a lot of work to be done. The player transfers he has carried out have not yet provided the best results and are still in the progress stage. Maybe for most people firing Pochettino is the right decision but I don't think this is right.

At least Chelsea still have to keep him and considering that this is still half way through the season, he has to complete his work until the end of the season and after that he will be evaluated properly. I know that Chelsea is in a bad position in the standings. But look at other teams like Manchester United, Brighton, Newcastle, they are also doing a less than good job this season and it will be an exciting chapter to see the competition there is to be in the big six at the end of the season.

I read on some news said that if chelsea is considering sacking him too. Pochettino is still repeating the same mistakes again and again. How many times he has been targeting by the fans caused by his inconsistency in taking a good decision making for the club. People are also feeling tired of him. Chelsea needs someone who can properly analyze the condition of club anytime. Someone that can at least put the players into the right position and does less experiment to the club unlike pochettino.

I thought that pochettino was good, but it is a big no for chelsea after it have seen what he has done in the club. Chelsea is still stuck in the same place, and that is it. I see no point in defending him right now.
Pochettino has made too many mistakes and it can't be accepted. The bad decision making by pochettino has been trhowing away so many opportunities got by the club.
Do you think it's good to keep him much longer when chelsea has not made any progress since he was coming to the club? The match against middles told us how bad pochettino was in the decision making.

I knew Pochetino were going to face this,because at first we thought they were just in a phase and a process that needs to be endured maybe till middle of the season,but it's becoming worse everyday,and I know their recent lose to Middleborough is one of the major reasons he is facing this now,how he could allow a team not on thesame level with Chelsea,a championship team beating them without them being able to get a single goal,it was really embarrassing.The way it is now,everybody at the club wants him out because it looks as if he has no game plan, everybody that was saying they should give him time no longer says that because he has had enough time,and he couldn't do anything with it.

With Pochettino spending a lot of money, but not producing good results so far, Chelsea should have made the decision to sack him. Chelsea is ranked 10th at the moment, with players who are quite expensive but low performance, i think there is something wrong with the strategy made by Pochetino for Chelsea. He is a good coach, but EPL maybe is not a good league for him.

Bayern Munich is about to lose their superstar paler and it's a piece of bad news for this team especially when we know they should they are in the situation in which they are racing with Leverkusen and losing any power and their players will definitely damage the team.
Joshua Kimmich had some offers from other teams but he didn't want to leave the team, but recently Joshua Kimmich was unhappy at Bayern Munich because not get enough support from this team and that's why Joshua Kimmich is even about to leave and thinking about his other offers.

The best solution for the versatile defender and midfielder is to find himself playing for the defending Champions of La Liga ( Barcelona ) who are currently amongst clubs that have that area leaking and lacking. Since they let Sergio Busquet leave, they haven't really found the perfect man to fill up that position. Joshua Kimmich should move to Barcelona.

And for Bayern Munich, I'm convinced they won't be winners of the Bundesliga League Competition at the end of this season, what's a defender like Eric Dier doing for Bayern Munich? I don't even know the plans of Thomas Tuchel. We'll see but not good enough with what I'm seeing.

Mauricio Pochetino taking same roots of Graham Potter, second half of the season and Chelsea still occupants of Tenth Position? Jesus Christ!! Something needs to be done!!

Anthony Martial the player of Macshter United had some offers from teams like Fenerbahçe, and Marseille and some Saudi terms but this French payer rejected all the offers to stay in Manchester unted.
Manchester United has not been interested in keeping Anthony Martial for a long time and they prefer to put this player or even let him join any other teams but this player is going to be a problem for Manchester United since he doesn't want to leave the team.

Why the rush in the first place? There's no need for that, he'll leave Manchester United completely at the end of the season because I'm sure he won't be leaving Manchester United already.

And even if he wants to leave, a move to the French league 1 would be considered over thatof Fernerbahce. If a move comes from the Saudi Arabian League he should consider it.
Having spent too much time on Injury too much European club's won't be wanting him.

Erik Ten Hag keeps on giving excuses about him, I know he is currently being punished by the manager due to that game he was seen shouting back at the manager ( Erik Ten Hag )

To find a striker of Kane caliber is very difficult, we can mention a name like Osimhen. We also understand that the competition to get the signature of a player like Osimhen is also very difficult, not just money but also the club bargaining value in winning trophies.

A player as badly out of form as Werner is unlikely to help Tottenham. The mockery Tottenham are getting for the loan is justified. There are some up-and-coming top strikers in Europe's smaller leagues who have a good goalscoring quota this year. If Tottenham had spent 20-30 million and signed such a player, they would certainly have profited more. Now it remains to be seen and hoped that Werner, against all expectations, performs in a good way.

But Tottenham have reasons for choosing Werner even though their performance is not so good, the most reasonable reason is because Werner plays more often in the top European leagues, but Tottenham also still has hope where Werner can return to his best performance.

Newcomer top strikers are sometimes doubted, even though the team has to spend 20-30 million their experience is still not much in a tight team when they are not mentally ready then there are only bad performances and more often on the bench.

Ange may choose a more experienced player, and he can groom that player to be better.

I won't be boggled in the slightest way, because Chelsea gave enough time to Graham Potter ans he sank them ship last season despite so much trails to raise them up.
Test running failed managers is something Chelsea has done well this past few years, but without bias it's just too early for the sack. He has a trophy to win ( Carabao Cup I believe )

Bringing Antonio Conte sounds appealing, but Chelsea currently has not Central Forward, don't you dare mention Nicholas Jackson or Borja as striker's, they're not good enough for a club big like Chelsea.
And I feel like this players need experience amongst them, the defenders would do well because of Thiago Silva he has passed his knowledge across-the the lads. They would do better next season.

Brighton have just completed signing a deal with Boca Junior's young talent Valentín Barco and this is their first signing of the winter. We know that Brighton is now starting to fade in the domestic league and they need new ammunition to strengthen their squad. Valentín Barco plays as a wing-back and is of course expected to be able to make Brighton's defense stronger and also be able to contribute when attacking.

Valentín Barco is still very young at 19 years and it seems like the right choice for him to go to an EPL club for the rest of the season. Valentín Barco's fee from Boca Junior was 10 million euros and he also got a long-term contract. That is quite a large fee for a player of his age. Brighton certainly hopes that this investment is right on target and can become a great player in the future.

Timo Werner has officially been loaned to Tottenham until the end of this season from RB Leipzig. If he is able to give his best for the club, of course Tottenham will make him permanent and he will be Tottenham Hotspur's main squad to be used as a striker to replace Harry Kane. But I'm not sure whether he can be used the right choice for Tottenham, if you look at the statistical data, this player actually had a good performance when playing with his original club Lepzig but played so-so when he was with Chelsea but he is very good at providing passes and I think if the coach can provide a suitable strategy I think this player can return to its best performance.

Yes, the purchase is not too expensive considering his potential is decreasing from year to year, but if he returns to his best performance, I think Leipzig will increase the price for this player so that Leipzig can reap bigger profits considering that Premier League clubs have bigger finances but we'll see what Timo Werner is like at Tottenham, whether he deserves to play in the Premier League, where the competition is tougher than the Bundesliga.

I believe that Werner will not be really the help they think he will be. That is something I have said for a while and nobody cared but what Spurs needed wasn't someone like Werner. Don't get me wrong, that isn't to say that Werner isn't a great player, he is a wonderful player and he will certainly help, but he is not what they need, they needed to replace Kane with someone prolific at scoring, Werner is a great all around player, he can pass, he can dribble, he can sometimes score too, but he isn't what you call a poacher, he isn't just chasing goals, he isn't a 20+ goals a season type of player.

That is who they needed, and that is not who they got, so it is not going to be that easy for them and Werner will not be the help they are looking for.

With limited time and not many strikers available on the transfer market, Ange feels that Timo Werner has met the standard they need. To temporarily cover the role left by Son, and I think Werner will only be a rotation option for Son in the future. Since leaving Leipzig, Werner performance with Chelsea has declined drastically, he failed to meet expectations according to his price, as did his second period with Leipzig. I don't think Ange will have too many hopes for him, what he hopes is that Son can return quickly and be fit after playing for the national team.

To find a striker of Kane caliber is very difficult, we can mention a name like Osimhen. We also understand that the competition to get the signature of a player like Osimhen is also very difficult, not just money but also the club bargaining value in winning trophies. Apart from all that, we admit that Ange is very good at bringing out the potential of his players, and Werner could potentially become sharp again if he successfully adapts to Ange strategy.

Finding back is something is one thing I'm sure of, another thing I'm certain is Tottenham Hotspur wanting to extend the contract of the German attacking player who would be out of contract with them at the end of the season.

We can't see a replica of Harry Kane, No! Non like him actually. Victor Oshime wouldn't consider moving to Tottenham Hotspur, he is a player bound to play for Chelsea.
Timo Werner lacked game time since he wasn't up to standard for Liepzig this season.

[lixer]

Tottenham condition after being left behind by Kane was able to appear extraordinarily convincing in the EPL but that was only temporary, now Tottenham existence seems to no longer be of concern to the top EPL teams because after their performance dropped drastically, Tottenham is no longer on the threat radar. In the transfer market, Tottenham is again trying to improve its front line because relying on Son and Richarlison alone is not enough. So the big hope is that the recruitment of Timo Werner can provide a breakthrough force on the front line to replace Kane. Although I'm not sure it can be finished in a short time because the EPL is already a quarter of the way through.

@hyudien to be fair to Tottenham they have coped very well without Kane and ups and down happen with all the clubs so it’s normal for them to lose few games however they have made a smart move by getting Timo. Lastly I don’t believe that we should judge them so soon maybe let’s wait till the end of the season because I feel their form will improve and Timo also would like to make a point by proving his doubters wrong that he can’t perform well in the premier league.

No one were expecting performance like this from the Tottenham after the exit of Harry Kane, but things take positive change, and they perform impressive with now after first half of the season they are in top five and still having title chance and Son after coming out of the Kane shadow doing amazing performance which is surely at the different level and things are much better than last few seasons even they are currently having some problems, but they are doing much better.

Now having one more striker is surely going to have better things for them with improvement in their performance which is having few bad weeks which bring them down, but there is no doubt their performance is at another level, and we can expect any surprise from them like again jumping into top four or having the toughest end of this season between these top clubs.

[baeva]

At least Chelsea still have to keep him and considering that this is still half way through the season, he has to complete his work until the end of the season and after that he will be evaluated properly.

But look at other teams like Manchester United, Brighton, Newcastle, they are also doing a less than good job this season and it will be an exciting chapter to see the competition there is to be in the big six at the end of the season.

Even though Chelsea wasn't good in this season, but at least they're better than the last season. I think many people are comparing Chelsea with small teams which currently stand higher than Chelsea' position, this is wrong. People should compare the current Chelsea with the previous Chelsea, this is the good comparation.

Become Pochettino isn't easy, he manage Chelsea with under pressure because people are expect him to change Chelsea.

But it's kind of weird that this is the second season in a row that the team has performed poorly. It's not a bad performance though, more like an unlike Chelsea. And now, when it is repeated for the second season in a row - it is obvious that people will compare Chelsea not with the top teams, but with the average ones, among which they are in the table

Poch inconsistency is making the fans get tired pretty early and that’s one thing that’s putting his job on the line. He makes poor decisions and choices in lineups that cost the club the win so many times and this is one makor reason the fans are kicking against him still being in charge.

 Well the owners aren’t too serious and football minded to see these things yet though. But I believe when the fans start kicking then he’ll probably get fired. Poch wasn’t quite experienced to takeover this young Chelsea team and that’s one thing he’s suffering.The inexperience, this team is young and requires quite a lot of experience to keep them in shape. He makes wrong selection choices and it’s not safe to keep him especially when he haven’t achieved anything significant in hos short stay

Every one is going with his own strategy and want some quick results from them which are wrong because currently team is doing good even their spot and few matches are not good, but they are having positive change which is good and if they are keep going then surely we can expect more positive results which are needed as well Pochettino is good person which its own strategy and knowledge he is trying to have consistency which is not easy but as things are going we can expect better end of this season and surely if management able to keep faith then we will have much improvement in coming season.

Few players are young and need more time for having adjustment and bringing their best with changes surely still having impact, and they are developing all which will be brought better things and Chelsea could be again on his best in coming years.

You got to be kidding me if you were expecting him to be good. He was on Tottenham for 5-6 years iirc but nothing really impressive there and yeah Tottenham is not really a team that are expected to win the league but they were not really a threat either way. He somehow got a job on PSG and obviously he won the league which is expected but he didnt win the UCL even with an impressive squad like PSG so actually its just kinda miracle that he landed another job on EPL especially Chelsea

Him spending that long time coaching Tottenham is not even the big deal because we knew the standard of Tottenham then, they were not challenging for title, they are just making effort to qualify to the Champions Leage; and he was not even good enough to win a single trophy for the team despite having some good players with individual quality.

While coaching PSG, Pochettino has all the players he needed to succeed in all competition, but he failed to do his job well, he couldn't achieve his main aim of joining the club which was to win Champions League for the club despite having players like Messi, Neymar, Ramos, Mbappe, and lots more quality players in his squad.

[alankasman]

Timo Werner is a good player. Just because he wasn’t successful at Chelsea doesn’t mean he’s not a good option for Tottenham. We can notice the difference in performances in Chelsea and Leipzig. I think Werner gives you Darwin Nunez vibes. Can’t really finish his dinner but very chaotic. He can disrupt any defensive set up and provide the necessary assists when his team is in dire need of a goal.

I think his first spell in England will be defined by his wayward finishing but someone just needs to unlock his potential. Tottenham manager, Postecoglou might be the manager to set him free.

The advantage for Postecoglou and Tottenham in transferring Timo Werner on loan is that the adaptation process is projected to be fast because he has done well with Chelsea even though he did not get many playing minutes from the Chelsea coach at that time.
Other. Timo Werner will be a good partnership with Richarrlison on the front line because Timo Werner is a player who has speed in dribbling the ball.

Tottenham's transfer regarding Werner is good for me, in contrast to Manchester United who released Sancho back to the club that made his name.
If Manchester United in this transfer tries to bring in Werner on loan until the end of the season, then Werner could be a different wing striker to Antony.

Poche's track record in the EPL did not go too well and indeed his name rose only because he was at PSG and even then only succeeded with the Coupe de France and Ligue1 which PSG certainly controlled well afterwards there was nothing really proud of Pochettino.

Bringing Pochettino back to the EPL is actually a very risky way but at least there is a desire to change the club at least this is still a little better than when Chelsea was trained by Potter and Lampard even though until now there has been no breakthrough that can really make us amazed by what Poche did. Hopefully Todd's current decision is right and the hope of bringing Chelsea to a more decent position can be done well even with the reshuffle and some controversy when bravely changing almost all the players at Chelsea. 

[Pokapoka124]

I don’t think Sancho should have moved back to Dortmund, he could have gone to a big club in the EPL and build his career. Dortmund is a good club but they are not a trophy-winning club. His career is not going to grow as fast as it would if he was in a EPL club. It’s likely that Sancho will find his form now that he is back in Dortmund, the Bundesliga is easier than the premier league. The club has always been a young star development club.

I wish Sancho and Erik Ten Hag could have settled their differences, Manchester United signed him for a lot of money, it’s a shame to see him go.

[Belarge]

I thought that pochettino was good, but it is a big no for chelsea after it have seen what he has done in the club.

Mauricio Pochettino is trying, with the current Chelsea form, he needs time before he would finally settle and plan good strategy for the team's progress. Chelsea not in good shape this season, I wouldn't blame the present and previous coaches because they're trying their best to handle the club but it have turned out that the club is bigger than their control. Todd Boehly have plans for the club but he needs an exact budget to execute, everything connecting to success comes with a process that ought to be accomplished accompanied by bold steps.

[Coyster]

I wish Sancho and Erik Ten Hag could have settled their differences, Manchester United signed him for a lot of money, it’s a shame to see him go.

Erik Ten Hag was too hard/harsh with Sancho, if i was Sancho i'd have done nothing different, it is a football club of men and not a high school football team, you have to treat the players with respect and not disrespect them and demand an apology. Sancho has not completely left Manchester United as this is a loan deal, but i don't see any way back for him in United, if he performs well during this loan spell, Dortmund would prolly make it permanent or another club in Europe would demand for his services.
