Thomas Tuchel’s press conference today was an interesting one, with both a big game against Spurs on the horizon and the transfer window still open.
He was asked about whether the club needed defenders and he couldn’t deny that we’re a little short at the back.
His comments on that subject really revealed what his plans were for Marc Cucurella too.
He said that he needed another central defender because he was planning to play a back 3, and while Azpi can cover the right side of the three and Cucurella the left, that still leaves him short of a backup in the middle.
That confirms a lot of the rumours about Cucurella’s move – which was pretty puzzling considering we already have a very strong left wing back. It was speculated that his ability to play on the left of the back 3 would be significant, and it seems that is indeed the case.
cucurella might put chilly on the bench for a while
I really hope he starts against spurs and Broja too.
Ya i didnt rate him before now I certainly understand hink hes tt good
That’s the plan. He just doesn’t want to say it to the public
I believe that, as well…
Bench chiwell and use cucurella
Tuchels
Marc Cucurella’s
More love
Chelsea FC already have nice defenders. Trevor, Azpi, Reece, Tiago, Cucurella, Chiwell, Koulibally.
The problem is 7 players covering five positions
We are now strong enough at the back, we need Reece, Cucurella, Tiago, and Koulibally to start against Spurs on Sunday
Bravo but Chelsea right now we need a target man
Let Thiago just renew his contract for one more year with Chelsea
Fofana is a waste of money just like lukaku and auba is a big no. Let’s make use of broja
Yes….give Broja a go
We don’t want to see 5 Defense anymore
Use 4,3,3
Reece Koulibaly Thiago cucurela
Let try this!
We are strong at the back, so that we need striker like Osimhen from Napoli
