This says more about Timo Werner than the League.

So Tuchel has 5 wins and 3 draws in the league only conceding 2 goals in the process. Clean sheets vs Spurs, Liverpool, United and Atleti in the Champions league.

Seen every game and this good start basically highlights how shit a coach Lamps is. I havenât seen any evidence he belongs at a top 10 PL club

Cunts will have gone through 3 managers in the last 3 seasons, with all of them achieving top 4. Great effort this from Tuchel, top 4 looked a world away when he took over.

I suppose from a Chelsea perspective not challenging for the league title for 4 seasons is pretty poor, That will be another huge test for Tuchel next season, to see if he can get them in the thick of a title race and sadly I think he can.

Without Thiago Silva too, who had been impressive for them pre-injury. Christensen was MOTM last night though, so be interesting to see if Thiago comes straight back in.
Not win it but they could be a difficult opponent in the CL.

Seriously impressive start by hipster TT now, still undefeated and has played Spurs, Liverpool, Everton, United and Atletico winning 4 of those 5.

Look at the squad he has at his disposal. That Chelsea squad is second only to City in terms of quality and depth.
Itâs not a miracle job heâs doing it just highlights how bad Lampard truly was.
The most impressive thing heâs done is get his team playing in his image pretty quickly but thatâs a damn good Chelsea squad.

Yep. I never thought Frank was amazing, but I at least thought he was doing a fair job at times. Yet I think I was wrong. TT is really showing him up. Of course there could be a little of the new manager bounce, but from watching them it doesnât like that itâs just that. He seems to have come in and just sorted them out quickly.

New manager bounce rarely causes a team to all of the sudden concede about 2 goals in 10 matches.
Yeah @SRCJJ I agree itâs the 2nd best squad, still think itâs impressive to take over 20 games in sitting 9th or whatever it was and come finish comfortably in the top 4 which it looks like heâll do. They may also go on a CL run also.

This just highlights the difference between a coach who has the courage of his convictions and the ones who donât. Granted the quality at his disposal is better than most, but the technical side of the game aside, physically he has his team playing his way and he hasnât needed 2 seasons to do it either. Which is what Arteta should of done if he wasnât such a coward.

Quality of squad aside, whatâs he doing getting the squad to take to his style so quick. That ainât right according to modern manager philosophy you need 2 seasons son.

Tbf but experience is a big part or lack of on both managers.
It comes with time but therein lies the issue.

Which is why we should of never went for someone like Arteta in the first place.
Itâs annoying because all the other managers who have a âphilosophyâ, Bielsa, Klopp, Poch, Pep, TT etc⊠impose said philosophy on arrival, even if they donât have the players they want, in the beginning a lot of results donât go their way, but at least the squad is conditioned physically and tactically from the youth level to the first team, to play in that style and those not able to do so are quickly identified, moved on and replaced by players who are. Right now, I donât think anyone including Arteta knows what exactly it is where heading towards, I donât think he even knows who his best 11 or his best formation is. Iâm sure he has the makings of a top coach, god knows weâre reminded of how smart he is every month by someone in the game, but he really just lacks the experience to take a club like ours of its current hole.
I will also add. That if he had of stuck with that high energy, high pressing game, which was defensively sound from when he first arrived then by now we would probably be in much better position and even if we wasnât, at least it would be clear where we were heading and the foundation would of been properly laid. The games of would been entertaining and we wouldnât feel so let down and out of love with our club as we do now.

Heâs firmly established himself in the âA categoryâ of coaches. There can be no doubt now.
His ideals are sound and his methods work, we have samples across three different teams to show this. The debate is still out on if heâs an elite coach, he needs to get this Chelsea team consistently competing for the league and CL

I think our squad is also much better than what we are showing.

You on about the Chelsea game at home that we lost, mate? We played very well. As you say, if we had that intensity in every game, weâre where Leicester and ManUre are now.

You may have to eat crow on Tuchel bro at least for a couple seasons until heâs inevitably sacked.
And the Chelsea squad is good but is no better than United IMO, second to City in terms of quality? Not so sure about that.
