Remember when I say this and they laughed? 

He has been next level under Tuchel.

His decision making is weird. Think it's a confidence thing. He looked so much better early in the season. Let's hope he finds some form. 

Him and James have immense crossing abilities - if they can get it together and be consistent - we could have a killer attack force. As defenders will move out to close them down, will leave more space for Werner/Giroud/Tammy and Mount/Kova from midfield 

no one to cross to tonight, we were in counter mode and zero height at CF and the wings

Definitely need to get better up top. I thought Werner was promising leading the front line there with his pace and effort, unlucky on the offsides call but had other chances he squandered. 

I'll bite...again. Are people just gonna criticize Werner when he doesn't score just because of all those misses he's had? 

The stupid offside goal aside, the only 2 chances he had was the early one, which had an awkward bounce and made it not-an-easy chance to score and the other in the second half that was saved decently by Alisson. If we look at the incidents individually, those weren't bad at all as even the best strikers have those. But I suppose because of his misses this season, every chance - even hard one - not converted gets magnified more than necessary at times.

Defensively he was good , he made a lot of effort making runs down the flank and giving players an outlet. 

His final ball was frustrating though, even when given space he tends to just not look up and throw in a cross that's 10 yards away from any Chelsea player. 

I did not like his crossing either, way too predictable but in many situations the pass to him was simply the wrong option.

Defensively Chilly has been as solid as ever. Imagine how alonso would have been shaved today by Mane and Salah. Chilwell even beat Mane in a sprint duel twice today as did Rüdiger. The pace on that defensive side was decisive today.

Tuchel's favourite English word

My mistake I completely missed out this season before he was sacked.

But the four season's before that he only lost one which was for PSG against Reims, never lost at home for BVB in the Bundi.

[Vesper 28,802]

the only players whose actual play on the pitch I am not happy with are (and no Kepa on here, even he is better atm)

Emerson (not important really though, he so needs to be sold)    

Christian Pulisic    
Hakim Ziyech    

  
Kai Havertz  (I cut him massive slack, he needs time to overcome log hauler COVID, and to adapt, I have full confidence in Tuchel to sort him next season)

 

Billy Gilmour <<< should have been loaned out!!! a lost year

Ashley Cole saying Tuchel has the foundations from Franks spell including players and then the style... man oh man.... players right, style though completely wrong. Suppose they’re never going to fully give Tuchel credit for anything this season. 

Excellent performances from Jorginho, Kante, Christensen and Azpilicueta. 

Much more half chances/chances created tonight. Goals need to come more but huge signs of improvement.

None of his misses were clear chances or shocking today like we've seen in the past.

Overall I was impressed with Werner but we signed him to lead the line and convert some of these opportunities that aren't so easy. It's probably unfair but that's what we really need from him in the future to keep getting results. The whole attack needs to be better too.

Well, Sky put Lampard's cousin and mate to analyze his successor. What do you expect? 🤣

When Tottenham were on their good run and looking strong, someone got worried and posted to say things were getting scary and that they might actually win it. I replied that there was nothing to worry about because Liverpool were going to win the league. Well, Liverpool have hardly won a game since and I'm taking the credit of course. I clearly jinxed them.

Never since 2012 have I been so happy to be so spectacularly wrong.

1. Bloody huge win! Not decisive but hopefully it will give us confidence for the coming games. 

2. Watching us under Tuchel right now really reminds of Mourinho's first season back in 2004. Score very few goals and just grind out narrow 1-0 or even 2-0 wins. Great we're getting the wins but so stressful!

3. Jorginho was surprisingly good enough. What a shocker!

4. Still very annoyed with that stupid offside for Werner's goal!

Mourinho had Eto and Eden. Antonio had Diego and Eden. Right now there is no such talent upfront. There was the younger Willian also.
