Conor Gallagher misses a penalty 😢

Charlotte 4 -3 Chelsea

ℹ️ @ChelseaAnalysis

Charlotte win 5-3 on penalties after a 1-1 draw in normal time. Conor Gallagher the only one to miss after a panenka gone wrong. #CFC #FCSeries

Co-owner Todd Boehly in attendance at the Bank of America Stadium to watch Chelsea take on Charlotte FC:

Thomas Tuchel on Raheem Sterling:

"I saw four accelerations in the second half I think and they all came from Raheem. There is not need for major doubts or criticism, but it's never important what the manager has in his head ahead of pre-season."

Thomas Tuchel:

"We presented the team very briefly this morning, we expected a narrow back four and that's what we found. I think we had enough spaces and enough quality in the first half to dominate and finish the game off in the first 20 minutes."

Thomas Tuchel:

"We keep on struggling to feel these things and then it is not the first time we get punished. If you keep the stadium alive, this is what can happen."

Thomas Tuchel:

"In general, I would say we played a good first half but only 80 metres of the pitch. The last 20 metres were not good enough. We struggled with our decision making and precision in the last 20 metres."


Thomas Tuchel:

"There were not enough chances, not enough clear chances. We allowed two big chances out of nothing, this was the point of the very first. Otherwise I thought we played a very good match

Thomas Tuchel:

"Second half it took us 30 minutes to show some quality and then it was maybe only for 10 minutes. So not good, not good at all."

Jules Koundé deal. Chelsea are now feeling confident as £55m bid was in line with Sevilla expectations, but still waiting for final green light. Thursday, key day. 🔵 #CFC

Deal until 2027 offered to Koundé.

No Barcelona bid, as of now - club still in contact with Koundé.

Tuchel on responding to Werner’s comments saying he’d be happy playing anywhere:

“Take your place and defend your place. I would be one of the happiest people on the planet having a contract with Chelsea. If he said this, I do not understand.” #cfc

Dembélé & Raphinha solutions for Chelsea’s final third creativity are gone- 24 xG behind City & LFC last season.They have to be clever- market options are limited.Depay in his Lyon/Holland 2nd striker role,Havertz as a box 9 & switch to Tuchel’s PSG 4-2-2-2 may be a way to do it.

Thoughts, Blues?

Moment of silence for those who sacrificed sleep to watch us lose to Charlotte.

🧵 Thoughts on Chelsea’s poor final 3rd play under TT’s reign;

Is it on the manager or the players?
