Certainly didn’t deserve a start over the other options today. Others have proven more. CHO has proven nothing. Don’t over think it Frank. You should have gone with your best defenders and best attacking front and you tinkered. This loss is on you. Sorry to say it

How and why play 5 defenders at home against Southampton? This is madness, truly. Not sure what kind of player managing he is doing with Pulisic. He has done nothing but cause defenses problems and create opportunities when he plays. Seems obvious but this was a match to come flying out of the gates with Mount, Pulisic and Willian charging forward. COH is clearly no where near as good as Pulisic at the moment, yet he gets the nod instead? Don’t understand it.. You would think Frank would be eager to play attacking football at home to please the supporters.

China doll millennial. He’s 21... I was in the pubs every night until close at his age. I didn’t need rest. I soldiered on the next night like a warrior poet.

Here is what I saw, for what it is worth... The midfield was set up in a defensive posture. Frank didn’t want to get blown out. Should have stuck with what has been working. Play our attacking football that has worked and don’t be afraid. Don’t reign in our horses. Saw way too much back passing to kill the clock. I love what Frank is doing with this team but I have always believed that when a football team is on fire, don’t put a damper on it.

Lost count of the nice runs Pulisic made. Unfortunately, No one is picking him out. Especially Emerson. He see CP’s runs and just passes backward.

Not sure why others on here value Favre’s assessment of Pulisic over Tuchel’s. Having watched Dortmund for several years, Pulisic was clearly highly valued by Tuchel. His lack of playing time last year was most certainly due to injury and Pulisics expression of his desire to move to the premier league. He got a minor injury and Farve put Sancho in and Sancho performed. Why would Favre take out an in form player for a player not in future plans? People really need to understand these circumstances. Besides, his quality is there for all to see. Clearly Chelsea saw the situation clearly and pounced on a quality player.
