Same could apply to United (but even worse)...
Di Maria ('15), only trophyless season since '09
Ronaldo ('22), only trophyless season since '05
Pogba ('19, '20, '22), only trophyless seasons since '13; his introduction to 1st team football. That's without adding the seasons he won with France.
United is a place where serial winners got to get vilified and have their reputation tarnished. It's the no-trophy-getting players that are tolerated and/or adored.
Even the likes of Lukaku, Mhki, Darmian, Alex Sanchez, Herrera, Ashley Young, Rojo etc since leaving have all combined for 26 trophies, whilst United is stuck on ZERO.

Are u trying to hurt me?
It's a flawed roster. Even Tuchel was crying about that before he got fired. Moves will be made in January.

Sarri was the first manager to have a team that didn't have a Jose spine. Everyone else kept his formula to an extent and just tweaked it. Second season Conte was wild

Lol. Wasn't my intention but go on.
Yet and still he won with them and was finalist in multiple comps.
Perhaps his plea should've been heard.
I hope he's doing OK cause he sounds down bad.

Shit he may have even done the whole recording call-up ting but decided not to put it out like the others cause obviously didn't turn out as anticipated
I didn’t even think about that. Having to delete the video gotta be the saddest thing lol

HIM
Tuchel is/was a fuckin idiot in all honesty. He was given 3 full transfer windows to shape this roster into his mold, the last one with basically a blank fuckin check at his disposal. What does he do? Fuck all!
Him and Marina fuck up a Tchouameni BARGAIN for a wasteful Saul loan. Turns down Gabi Jesus, then when he changed his mind, it was too late. All the defensive signings he wanted, Boehly placed a bid for...Tuchel doesn't even reach out to said players to pull em to Chelsea. Entire midfield is pushing 30 and lives in the physio room, does he notice this? Nah not until deadline day with another blunder panic signing.
Ok cool, you dont wanna be the involved transfers gaffer. Alright, surely your football should be class then. NOPE, absolute DOGSHIT for the basically the entire post-UCL campaign.
The arrogance of these Prem Germans is wild as hell. Give em a trophy and they think they have it all sorted. Meanwhile Pep is adding Philips, Alvarez, Akanji for shits and giggles.
Fast forward, the idiot gets sacked. Potter's in with the same infirmary of a midfield and the annual James & Chilwell medical leave and this absolutely DENSE fanbase is expecting miracles from the same players who've shown for almost 5 years, they are nowhere close to title challengers.
Potter isn't faultless in all this. Some of those lineups were trash, but then again, we've seen EVERY SINGLE POSSIBLE combination of those players shit the bed in the Prem, so does it even really matter who starts?
If Potter doesn't address some of these glaring issues in January, then my agenda for him will start to kick in gear. Boehly has laid the foundation for transition and progress, now we wait and see

Rooting for Brazil and the Netherlands (and maybe France) as usual, but man, Messi with a World Cup win will do ALOT for my agendas. Hmmm.
