Stats 6,779 Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Credit due. Criticized the style of football but tonight he got it spot on. From defence to attack, he completely done a number on Klopp and we looked good too. Brilliant win. Well done Tuchel. Link to post Share on other sites
Jase 43,476 Posted March 4, 2021 Author Share Posted March 4, 2021 Think or at least I hope the style and our attacking play will get better next season but the tactical improvement Tuchel has brought in has been immense. Basically night and day when compared to Lampard's regime. Individually and as a team, everyone knows what they are supposed to do now - where to run and attack, where to press and defend, when to counter press etc. Don't think they're always right but Tuchel has also been proactive in making changes - he's made a few changes at HT, changes to help us manage games better (e.g. Kovacic for Mount today) etc even when we're leading. He's always reading the game and trying to make sure we don't lose control. These things are not like WOW but they were so sorely lacking from Lampard. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
ZaynChelsea 423 Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 So when is the real test Tuchel has to pass so we know he is miles better than Lampard? Could somebody please elaborate? Link to post Share on other sites

kiwi1691 255 Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 (edited) People who criticise the style have to remember he has not had time to get the players playing his way. His job this season is to stop losses. looking at the managers people compare TT to, I doubt people would criticise his style once he has a chance to implement it. Quote I think most Dortmund fans would've taken Tuchel back in a heart beat during the last 3 or even 4 years. He's got an exceptional reputation over here. You have to be careful with predictions like these but if I were to rank the coaches in the EPL currently I'd place him as third behind Guardiola and Klopp although I also think very highly of Bielsa. Interestingly he's like a mixture of those three. In the beginning he was seen as Klopp 2.0 at Mainz, then he developed into a huge Guardiola admirer but he's also less diplomatic than both and can be difficult to work with, like Bielsa (who himeslf was a role model to Guardiola again). So let's see. https://www.redcafe.net/threads/Chelsea-appoint-thomas-tuchel.460442/page-24#post-26892194 Edited March 5, 2021 by kiwi1691 Link to post Share on other sites

Blue Armour 3,339 Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 This question maybe out of left field, but given how much of an impact Tuchel has had on the midfielders (looking at Jorginho/Kovacic mainly) especially with how they deal with the press, and their off the ball movement.. Can he revive Ruben Loftus Cheek's Chelsea path next season? Link to post Share on other sites

manpe 10,629 Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 (edited) Tuchel has so won me over. When we were thinking sacking Frank I was like "but there are no options available worth sacking Frank for"... how wrong was I. Tuchel is absolute boss.

NikkiCFC 6,589 Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Top4 race is not something that excites me that much. But we are still in CL and Fa Cup. Next two and a half months can be amazing. And next season with Werner, Havertz, Pulisic and Ziyech becoming what we know they can be and a couple of new players we need to go after City. Full trust in Thomas! 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Fernando 6,148 Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Well that put that nail in the coffin. Definitely was worth it sacking Lampard for Tuchel. As we are able to see an identity and style of play. I was wrong about tuchel, it was not the beginning of the end, but now the beginning of something beautiful. Get top 4 and then next season improve with some buys and get rid of more deadwood. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
