A picture of the bench from tonight’s win over Aston Villa has gone viral and with good reason.
It shows Thomas Tuchel and a bunch of coaches and subs reacting to what they clearly think is a very soft foul on a Villa midfielder Emiliano Buendia. Between them, they display almost the full range of human emotions – certainly the full range one can expect to see at a football match.
There’s Thiago Silva and Hilario – stoic. Jorginho – furious. Azpi – excited. Christian Pulisic – despairing. Mateo Kovacic – amused.
And finally Tuchel himself – unhappy, to put it mildly.
You can see the picture in question featured above.
