Thomas Tuchel on Raheem Sterling:

"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."

DembΓ©lΓ© & Raphinha solutions for Chelseaβs 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 Tuchelβs PSG 4-2-2-2 may be a way to do it.

TT is world class in coaching the 1st & 2nd 3rd. & as such, our build up is one of the crispest in world football.
Itβs the final 3rd where we lack. As opposed to Ten Hag & Xavi etc., TT doesnβt seem to believe in instilling combination drills/triangles in the final 3rd ..
Instead, TT believes in giving complete freedom/creative responsibility to our attackers in the final 3rd.
TTβs tactics is like a relay race: he prepares his team to win the first 300m, and then gives the baton (complete control) to the last runner to finish the final 100m
Unfortunately, the last runner (our attackers in the final 3rd) shy away from attacking responsibility upon receiving the baton (the ball)
Simply put, our attackers (for years) have shown complete reluctance & incompetence to take on their markers & create in the final 3rd

This is a problem for TT.
A coach like him, needs 3 attackers who can drop into the pockets, take on 1 to 2 to even 3 defenders on the turn, & create chances in the final 3rd.
Due to lack of triangles/combination play drilled by TT, the responsibility lays with them!
This isnβt to say TT is a bad manager.
This is to say that TT needs more brilliant attackers. Attackers to make things happen in that final 3rd out of nothing.
A front 3 to the take the bull by itβs horns upon receiving that baton in the final 100m of the race.
A manager like TT creates the stage for the performer (with his tactics), but doesnβt teach them how to sing!
That is, his tactics allow us to get the ball from the defense to the final 3rd, then itβs up to our attacking 5 to sing and make things happen!

Our current crop of attackers (except Sterling), do not have the capacity to do so.
They are not good enough for that front 3. How many times would you see Kai, Ziyech, CHO, Mount drop into those pockets, receive the ball/baton and simply backpass without even trying?
It seems as if our attackersβ first instinct is to relay that responsibility to our wingbacks.
Our attackers do not consistently take the responsibility of beating their man and making something happen.
Look at the difference yesterday with Sterling, his 1st instinct is to always turn and take on players when receiving the ball in the pockets.
Something our current crop of attackers fail to do, and has failed to do for years.
We need another attacker, someone of the mold of Sterling, to engage the opponent and take that baton in the final 100m of the relay.
