Chelsea inviting so much pressure from Manchester City: it’s not so much Stamford Bridge as Helm’s Deep.
It’s a sign of Tuchel’s success and the faith that he has rightly earned that he is getting away with an approach this defensive.
Am now confused by Chelsea’s tactics and execution because they aren’t (1) holding the ball up well or (2) breaking with purpose. I just don’t think this is sustainable for ninety minutes.
It’s been said a thousand times but I think Manchester City’s lack of a conventional centre forward is really going to hurt them at some point. Someone like Edin Dzeko would have been great for them today.
Not every tactical observation is a personal slight against your football team, sometimes people just want to see them do better.
