Good points. If we had won a single match against them (and lost the other one), we would have finished in third place. Had we gotten a draw in both matches, we would have finished in third place as well.
Truly, the key to being in contention for the PL title is to salvage points when we are outplayed (+1 instead of giving up all three points) and win all three points when it looks 50/50. I.e., don’t let bad days into zero points and 50/50 days turn into draws and losses.
I think to achieve this is all about mentality for a squad like ours.
Tuchel’s post match interview couldn’t have been more salty …
“b..but … we were the better team. They were lucky with their finishing and we gifted them two goals … and we had to get a BUS to Leeds (*well actually, the players flew, but … a bus … for a journey of less than 200 miles!).. wah wah … boo hoo!”
Love it
What I don’t get is how a manager can tell his players to stop with the excuses and then all he does is give excuses himself?
Chelsea have picked up 19 points out of 39 from their last 13 league games.
Solakjaer in his last 13 leagues games before getting sacked picked up 20 points out of 39.
They also had another spell of 13 games last season from early November to mid January of 13 games that yielded just 19 points from 39. That bad run was snapped by the arrival of Dr Spurs at Stamford Bridge and a run of 5 consecutive wins.
Tuchel could be coming under pressure. League form has been scratchy since the day he took over.

This weasel is becoming more of a sad cunt as each day goes by.

I hope this new chelsea owner is like randy Lerner and takes them to slow death.
Marsch at least had the balls to call out the FA for allowing tuchel in the dug out for the game. In his presser he said a red card means a ban so why isn't he banned.
Didn't mention conte either, good man
:contethumb:
Yeah, that eyes guy is a bit of a screamer...
What a difference 7 minutes make.

Have to say shit management by tuchel not having a striker start of season and now interested in an Woolwich has been who turned up late for matches. And he wasted 97m on cook from the film commando.
What a wally that one in the striped shirt is!!
I'm sure Boehly is closely watching Tuchel's descent into despair, lashing out at his players, demanding more transfers.
Thomas the Victim doesn't seem to think he shares any responsibility whatsoever for this clusterfuck.
When you watch Guardiola, Klopp, Conte - they are constantly berating their players. But they appear to be instructing them into the positions the coach believes best helps the team.
With Tuchel, he's forever moaning to his coaching team, slumping onto to his seat or throwing a toddler tantrum, gangly arms & legs everywhere. It looks like he's slagging off decision making and misses. Such behaviour will not endear you to your players.

Thomas Tuchel blames Chelsea's dismal 3-0 defeat at Leeds on 'HUGE individual errors', with Blues boss outlining the need to sign 'better' players before the end of the transfer window to ignite their season

Well today confirms, for me, that they played out of their skins against us. Not the most surprising thing - regardless of form/season they always always turn up when we go to Stanford Bridge (and sadly we often don't), but it's still tricky to gauge where they'll finish.
