Rumuours doing rounds that tuchel will leave Dortumund at the end of the season. If that is true, i thnik we should pounce. Tuchel is a really revolutionary coach. One that we need because we have stagnated for years.

Heard guardiola wanted to come to Arsenal before he went to bayern but wenger wouldn't step down. I am not sure whether that is true but could be. I don't want us to make the mistakes united did. They never replaced fergie. Not even mourinho is suited to united.

Unless a brigheter younger coach emerges, i think we may have trouble finding a good coach suited to our style. I think tuchel and jardim will manage big teams in future and that will make it harder to get them. We better pounce before it is too late.

Hes off it looks your right. I think Barcelona seem keen. i'm up for appointing him he's a big risk but hey let's see. Allegri or simeone ahead of him tho for me. But i'd thrive on the change and I think the club would. Interesting developments.

allegri maybe considering i expect him to beat real madrid in the final. There is no shame in having a champions league winner as a coach but simeone is a big NO for me. He plays too defensive football and he has been found out. If we can't get tuchel, i think we should go for jardim or allegri.

I like diego he has turned them into winners even tho he has had a small budget compared. I expect him to be at inter milan tho. His man management skills are immense. And if his record screams out being found out then bring it on lol. Anyteam with torres is going to struggle and they never replaced costa imo.

His man management is probably the best in the whole of europe. Players want to die for simeone but tactically he is not that great. Tuchel in my opinion is the best coach tactically after guardiola in europe. His positional play is interesting. At least we will have a coach who wants to attack but who has tactics. Tuchel is a demanding coach. I don't see ozil surviving tuchel's demanding training routines. I think many players will leave arsenal if someone like tuchel comes in. It will be interesting times.

{Ed001's Note - why do you think Tuchel is the best coach tactically? I always find he tries to be too clever and ends up losing so many games he should have won, which is why they have been struggling all season. Also why he is cleverly diverting attention from his failings by continuing to whine about the club above him and blame them for the Champions League exit, even though he knew exactly what was going on.}

Ed 001 note i said tactically. i didn't say the best coach because tactics alone don't make a good coach. His man management is lacking in some ways but is he a revolutionary coach? Yes. without a doubt. The job that made tuchel great wasn't at dortumund. it was at mainz. He was basically over-achieving there . Guardiola was apparrently so impressed by tuchel that he reccomended him to the bayern board. He is without a doubt a good coach. He struggled this season because he lost all his best players coupled with the fact that at one point half of the entire first team was out injured, you would expect him to perform less. Tuchel needs to work on his man management though. But tuchel is more suited to Arsenal than let say simeone. Jardim is another interesting coach. Two years ago, he was the most defensive coach in europe now he is probably the most attacking. What does that tell you about him as a coach? That he adapts to his players. Would you rathe have guys of that calibre or someone with no tactics?

{Ed001's Note - that is not why Tuchel struggled at all. He struggled because he got too big for his boots and thinks he can out think every opponent. He tries to be too clever and that costs him games. As for revolutionary, no nothing revolutionary about him, evolutionary maybe, but not revolutionary. A good coach, without doubt, but he needs to stop thinking he is the be all and end all. Oh and remember you never win a power battle with those who are above you in the chain.}

Ed001i think he is going to get fired at the end of the season. So who would you like to replace wenger? I cann see you are not a big fan of tuchel.

{Ed001's Note - Nagelmann.}

i assume you mean nagelsmann? Not a bad shout but he is really young.

10 May 2017 21:50:42
Well, didn't expect that. Plus, another clean sheet.

10 May 2017 22:25:42
Me neither mate, a win at St Mary's is always a good result for anyone but for us its that much bigger, we've had some bad days there in the past.
Excellent result.

Eds, I was just wondering if Arsenal are actually looking for a Director of Football? Wenger is saying there's no chance one will come, but is it actually his decision?

There was 'news' today saying that he will be forced to accept changes if he stays. But it seems like he thinks he doesn't have to accept anything.

Do any of you know what is actually going on, or if it is just made up by the press?

Thanks again for your time.

{Ed002's Note - Yes they are looking for a Director of Football and have been since last summer.}
