City lost 12 points in 23 games. Even if we win all games we would not finish over them. When they win their game in hand they are 13 points over us with 14 games to go. 

[Mário César 811]

they need to lost 4 matches in 14 games and draw one game.

in the othet hand, we need to win all remaing games...

its impossible. no way

Simon Phillips reporting the attackers at the club have shown a distrust and are unsettled by Tuchel given how he treats them. They second guess their decisions and don't trust their instincts. Suggestions he is "too brutal" with them and at times selects lineup 'based on emotion'. 

The Athletic reported it, not Simon Phillips. It's in the article BF shared hours ago.

What? 

Against top10 teams on table we have 4 wins in 13 games. Arsenal, Spurs x2 and Leicester. 

Against teams from 11th to 20th place we have 9 wins and 2 draws in 11 games. 

Said smaller clubs, not top 10 or bottom 10 clubs. Our record v the big sides (Liverpool, City, United, Arsenal, Spurs) since TT took over has significantly improved from before. We’ve still dropped points v the Evertons, Brightons, Wolves etc.

Arsenal and Leicester are missing. We still don't know dates.

Simon Johnson and co. claimed that there's discontent between the attackers and Tuchel but Christian Falk has come out and countered that on Bild. He said:

• Werner and Havertz are being eased back after COVID. Tuchel has spoken one-to-one with them and said they will get game time again soon. They were understanding of the viewpoint.
• Lukaku was left out of the squad for a game, at the request of the team, after the Sky Interview.
• Tuchel is fully backed by the club despite Daily Express hinting that the club are looking for a successor
• The English media are playing "dirty games" against Tuchel

[MoroccanBlue 5,187]

Are Havertz and Werner not vaxxed? Seems to take them weeks to recover after having Covid a 2nd time. 

[NikkiCFC 7,560]

Havertz played after that so it's something else. Maybe just a Chilwell treatment from the beginning of the season so he realise full talent. Could be a psychological game from TT.

Both Werner and Havertz have played after the COVID. In fact, Werner has had more minutes than Havertz. But who knows? Maybe they are still feeling the effects of COVID and Tuchel didn't want to force them back in so fast, especially in the league games where we needed to win. Who knows...

TTs Covid infection comes at the worst time

February will decide whether the season will be a failure or success 

Just hope he recovers before the cwc final

Can someone explain to me what this man wants in our football and attack?

Tuchel’s Chelsea are controlling and commanding – but they’re not creating

Some stats...

Chelsea take fewer, lower quality shots:

Ofc we are struggling to create. Who can create in this team? CHO and Ziyech showed they can do it here and there. What I saw from Coutinho the other day I didn't saw from Chelsea players in years. 

[MoroccanBlue 5,187]

The progressive passes is something that is clearly instructed. We used to play long direct balls (Liverpool, Real Madrid, City) and now we recycle 98% of the time. 
 

Tuchel’s wanting of controlling the game is hurting us.

And if he wins Cup in 2 weeks against Liverpool he would equal Klopps number of trophies there in 6 and a half years in just 13 months.
