Tuchel bringing 2 defenders on to close out a 1-0 at home to Sheffield.

This is what I mean about the baggage Mourinho brings. When other managers do it nobody says anything. When he does it he gets slaughtered. Our next manager needs to be someone young and without all that baggage. It makes it so much harder to do the job. Not that Mourinho doesn't have many faults but he is handicapped by his reputation among media, fans and players.

True, although i do feel Tuchel's honeymoon period won't last forever and his previous suggests he's just as divisive as Jose. Hopefully that's the case anyway.

But this is a simple reading of the tactical choice isn't it? He switched to a four and pulled off Giroud (not a pressing monster), moved CHO to RW. Now they can press from the front while having even more attacking threat and still be solid at the back. And at no time have they dropped to a low-block. In fact, they are attacking with even greater numbers now. So no one should be complaining about parking the bus.

Mou is just shit dino football and his reputation is earned. His choice to bring on 2 more defenders would just mean a bigger and deeper bus.

edit: Walked away and came back to Chelsea up now 2-0. Seems I had a point.
