Valid example with last season's win at Arsenal.

As for the ones at Arsenal and West Brom this season, given we were so bad in the first half of both games, you would be hard pressed to find any manager that would not make changes at HT. 

 Yes, but I am just making the point that Lamps has proven he will change when he feels necessary and sometimes more than the one sub. Most managers, I would say 9/10 rarely will change a player at half time if their team is not winning. Tuchel obviously does things a bit earlier, which I do like, but just pointing out that when Lmaps thought things were going really bad, albeit losing he made changes and sometimes changed formation.

Yeah but there's a difference in making a change when you're losing 1-0 compared to 2-0 or 3-0 with a bad performance. Main problem with Lampard, IMO, this season was he didn't make or rarely made any tactical changes (and I don't mean like-for-like subs) when the game was going away from us, regardless of whether we were winning, drawing or losing. Southampton at home and Wolves away are 2 games off the top of my head.

That, I agree with.

Psychologically, Tuchel is sincere with how he speaks. You can tell he doesnt hide his passion or intention, there is purpose with everything he says and does. Good man TT.

My eyes bleed at that first video when we could have played in Werner early...

Anyway, playing through the press and the others bit are what we saw under Sarri and to an extent under Conte. This is what can happen when we have a manager who implements a structure in the team and coach the players about possession and positional play. It also helps with our counter-pressing if we lose the ball along the way.

I‘m entitled to my opinion. I support the club, no fake legends.

I saw your reputation and saw it was quite high for your post count, that is why I could never tell whether you were trolling or not, however I have just seen your profile picture now. I know the definite answer now... 🖕🏾

Honestly bro, that is not true. Arsenal this season he hooked off Werner and Kovacic at H/T. This season against WBA, he took off Alonso and Kovacic at H/T and his changes paid off. Even last season against Arsenal when we won 2-1 at Emirates, he took off Emerson just before the 35th minute and brought on Jorginho because we were getting dominated and that changed the game. Also took off Tomori and put Lamptey on. The changes worked brilliantly. Yes, Tuchel is more of a tactician but let's not just paint out that Lamps was some naive manager who just did not bother to make changes, because he did.

I shouldn't have brought up Lampard, because talking about his inabilities as a coach doesn't sit well with me. He is still a legend of the club.

However he only subbed players off at half time, when the performance was a disaster in the first half. He rarely did it as well, because he usually likes to start subbing players around the 70th minute. When you can clearly see that we needed a goal.

My only regret is what could have been if we had sacked Lampard in the summer and got Tuchel in. Then again, he wouldn‘t have left Paris in summer probably...man, Frank almost fucked up this season and the next one. So happy our board gets rid off losers as soon as it is obvious that they are failures.

He is so cool 😎 most likeable manager I remember. 

[MoroccanBlue 5,383]

I want him to start utilising Mount deeper. Would love to see at some point. 

Mendy

Azpilicueta----Thiago Silva-----Christensen

James-----------Mount-----Kovacic---------Chilwell

CHO---------------Werner

Havertz

Why Werner though? Pulisic is miles better on the left. I have no idea why everyone seems to give Werner a free pass, it's starting to get ridiculous to be honest.

Also you put weaker wing backs. 

Alonso is doing more than Chilwell at the moment. And James is a huge worry in this position. CHO is doing better there and I would try Puli as RWB.

Incredibly debatable.  And I thought out of all of our attacking combinations, Havertz, Werner and CHO looked the most fluid.

I thought James was brilliant tonight. Such a beast. CHO is more offensive but James is better defensively and although CHO crossing is good, James crossing for me is better. Both put in top crosses against United that should have been converted tbh. Chilwell also against Liverpool was very effective and I prefer his pace.

[Fernando 6,585]

Our strikers are useless. 

Tammy, Giroud ( Altough he is a good super sub) and Werner are not good. 

If we can sell Tammy and Werner and get an upgrade to these two we will be good next season. 

But selling Werner might be a no no, but I think he will be another Morata type of striker. Don't want to deal with it.

I guess it's about balance and depends on opponent. One offensive type Alonso/CHO and one defensive type Chilwell/James are going to play most times.
