More questions over Tuchel’s Trevoh Chalobah treatment after FA Cup final performance

Thomas Tuchel’s treatment of Trevoh Chalobah has been one of the stranger storylines of this latter part of the season.

The defender did really well in the first part of the season, before a dip in his form over Christmas lead to him getting fewer chances at the turn of the year.

That was understandable, but what has been less explicable is the lack of chances for Chalobah since the form of Andreas Christensen and Antonio Rudiger went off a cliff.

The Chelsea boss kept playing them, and even used Malang Sarr as a sub on several occasions, leaving Chalobah out.

He then compounded the whole situation in an even stranger way by suddenly bringing Chalobah back in for the game last week, then playing him again in the FA Cup final yesterday.

He played well – but it was a real risk to drop him in so undercooked.

The sudden changes have done Chalobah’s form no favours, and we really can’t see Tuchel’s logic in this case.

  1. Tuchel has a problem of not trusting his players not given em enough chance to showcase what they have in em.

  2. Well there you go again. —said it many times, so many chances missed cost the club points, now they have thrown the F.A. Cup away. Should never have needed extra time. Serves them right !!!!!!!!!!!!

  3. I thought Thomas Tuchel was a great coach until I discovered that he is not.
    Tuchel has proven his lack of coaching skills time and again.
    Chelsea has many talents, a team with a great squad but Thomas Tuchel’s way of treating players has cost Chelsea a lot this season. Most of the players are not happy with him.
    T. Chalobah is far better than Cesar Azpilcuta now . The statistics of Chelsea games this season can prove that.
    Thomas Tuchel uses to criticize the plays on media instead of defending.
    He tends to blame the players for his own tactical mistakes. Many Chelsea players may leave the club because of him.

  4. We always have problems with English media on English players. This guy was causing penalties the last games he played and getting away with some penalties. Even against Liverpool he was caught risky against diaz only James to step in. This guy is not good and not Chelsea standard by any means

  5. Tired of this confused logic in selection and style of play
    The 433 that guarantee winning in the first stanza had been abandon and most players playing out of position exposed them to unnecessary injuries
    He should get his acts right next season
    No one will tolerate his excuses next season

  6. So Lukaku and Trevor, your dark colour speaks ill in your absence guys but don’t lose hope…..

  7. It makes no sense why a coach’s choice is questioned. He trains with them daily and knows their strengths and weaknesses, based on that he decides who to play. Had it been he played 10 players instead of 11 while Chaloba was sitting in the bench, then we all would have questioned him. He simply plays his best 11 at any given point and this changes bases on form, injuries, opponents etc. TT is the coach and allow him to do whis job+

  8. The problem is tuchel not giving the players game time he is not trusting his players like on chalobah he is not playing the past two months, then he take him on a final why
