“Got that all wrong” – These Chelsea fans debate Tuchel tactical decisions

Thomas Tuchel has basically been perfect for Chelsea since coming to the club.

Both in his conduct, his tactical acumen and his management of the squad, he’s been outstanding, and praised widely and lavishly by fans and pundits alike.

He got things wrong today against Man City however, and Blues fans on Twitter debated to what extent he’d messed up.

Nobody is being too harsh – we all appreciate he’s brilliant. But there’s no doubt that today things didn’t go his way. Circumstances didn’t help either – Thiago Silva wasn’t fit to start, then Reece James went off injured, meaning a double shift to his ideal formation and from what was presumably game planned during the week.

One fan claimed Tuchel “got that all wrong,” but there’s also the reality that Man City are a top team who played incredibly well.

  1. I expected and got a battle of the Managers but Thomas Tuchel is not at the levél of Pep Guardiila tactically and we saw that in this game. Tuchel took a bold approach today
    where role and function was paramount going into this game and paid dearly for that hap hazard approach. Past victories against City apparently made him overconfident and that emotion proved his ondoing. Thank you Mendy for saving us.
