Seems we dodged a bullet with mop head. Even at the £40m we were willing to go to. Chelsea have once again had their pants pulled down.

Agreed, LOLOLOL!Vintage Sterling :)

The thing is with players we miss out on that end up underperforming elsewhere, they likely would have been much better under pep... Eventually
We are used to players having a year to bed in, other clubs they're thrown in and expected to perform.

He’s also started to blame the players in public. Calling them too soft. This won’t end well for Tuchel.Maybe I'm wrong, since it's still early in the season, but Tuchel's tactics seem to be showing signs of reaching a plateau, like in Dortmund and PSG.

I think he’s a really good football coach, but half the battle is mentality. He showed mental weakness last season when we put them under pressure and they had a few injuries. Now telling his team to "toughen up and show a different mentality" is likely to fall on deaf ears. It won’t be rectified by a few touchline spats. I reckon he’s lost them and it’s a matter of time.Maybe I'm wrong, since it's still early in the season, but Tuchel's tactics seem to be showing signs of reaching a plateau, like in Dortmund and PSG.

I think so too. That Chelsea squad isn't suited for his formation and he isn't capable of changing it. They got players for usual 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 but instead keep shoehorning players to that awful 5 at the back system he religiously follows. Some of the crap he is serving:
- Not enough central defenders for back 5, resorts to using fullbacks as central defenders rather than switch to back 4
- Plays players like Pulisic and Loftus-Cheek at wingbacks as his fullbacks are already occupied as center backs. Hardly their fault they aren't performing there and lose any confidence
- Plays a system without proper wingers despite many players in his club being best in that position. Those players then get shoehorned to some midfield or wingback role that isn't suited to them.
Mind you, they'll still give us and other top teams a good game with their high workrate but he isn't getting the best out of his players in games where it is more about quality than hard work.

Toast already if Abramovich was still there.He’s also started to blame the players in public. Calling them too soft. This won’t end well for Tuchel.
