We didn’t set out to dedicate the whole of Mediawatch to Paul Merson on Chelsea, Potter and Zidane but then we got carried away…
‘I did not see it coming. They won the other day. They beat West Ham 2-1. Yes, they rode their luck with VAR but it was still a win. Then they go away to Zagreb, not the easiest place to go to, play a couple of fringe players and get beat.’
Now this is a theme across pretty much all coverage of this sacking, as though Aubemeyang is some kind of lame duck that nobody could possibly want. ‘You need an elite manager to train elite players, in my opinion. You do not go and buy a racehorse for a million pounds and get the bloke from the local stables to train it.’And pray tell, how does a non-elite manager become an elite manager? Tuchel coached at Mainz before Dortmund, Pochettino at Southampton before Tottenham and Conte at Atalanta and Siena before Juventus. Unless you are Pep Guardiola, you are not born into an elite club.
‘These are internationals with a million caps between them. You just have to look after them. You don’t have to teach them the game. It is horses for courses.’ ‘He is not a manager who wants to be around for five years and build a project, he just wants it now. He is not going to build a team. He wants a team that is full of superstars already. People will listen to him.’
