To be fair, it's that open that Chelsea could get back in the title race in theory.....
Premier League Gameweek 20
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Tuchel was always going to favour experience over youth. He has no connection to the academy or youth at our club, so those expecting identical use of the academy as Lampard's era, are in for a shock
I can easily see Abraham, Gilmour, James and even Mount getting a lot less mins under him

Yeh, that kind of kneejerk stuff is ridiculous.
However, i reckon Werner and Havertz will eventually get going under him and perform well. Maybe not tonight, though
Tuchel said this is "the most unfair team I've ever picked, based on one training session where everyone was good. I've gone for experience".
I’m going for a Wolves win..
Same
God I hope so, would be pretty funny.
New manager bounce incoming.
If your youth succeeds it will be of a lower team quality than what you can achieve with your more talented players.
You cant bring in 250m worth of talent and still play youth, even Sir Alex wouldnt do that.
Tuchel getting busy dropping Chelsea's best player in Mount. He cleared out all of the old Klopp players at Dortmund too if I remember correctly but those where different circumstances with some of those players getting on in years.
Its not going to be anything like under Lampard for the academy boys. It just isnt. Theyll all get a chance of course, but once he has this team how he wants it Tuchel, expect the senior experienced lads back in
Reece James is an amazing player...surely he will be a regular.
Easy win for Chelsea. Wolves are in horrible form at the moment
he should be. He is the only one id have said should be starting most weeks, in hindsight. I also liked Mount but at the same time think he he is incredibly overhyped at times. And Tammy is not good enough for a top level club. He's a midtable - top 7 level club striker IMO. I know we are 10th hahaha but i mean Palace, Newcastle, West Ham, Southampton, Wolves etc. He's that kind of level striker
So Tuchel comes and Mount gets dropped
It's a weird one, James and Mount have been two of their best players but neither get a start. It's not like their replacements are all that either. Will be interesting to see if it's a theme or a one off.
Absolutely zero chance Wolves win this
Zero
Zero
I would agree he can be over hyped but at least he can play 90 minutes unlike Kovavic.
If Wolves get more than two shots on target I'll be shocked. It's going to be carnage.
Lets go, Portugal. Give Tuchel a shitty start.
Inevitable
No real shock with his Dad getting sacked.No Mount
Not with the new manager bounce in full effect.
This has 4-0 Chelsea written all over it.
Come on Wolves!!!
I'm sure there's a joke in there somewhere
This will be a boring new manager bounce win for Chelsea.
If Lampard was still manager I'd have said this would be a nailed on bore draw but with the new manager bounce and Wolves being really shite at the moment Chelsea should win.
Watkins gives Villa the lead at Burnley.
I have a bad feeling about this (in best Chewbacca pronunciation)
Finally no zouma and mount.
I like pedro neto.
These commentators are lathering Frank up big time.
What happened to werner?
No Chelsea goal in 21 minutes now! Sach Tomas, hire Frank!
Go on Wolves score from free kick.
Go on Wolves score from free kick.
I have not been watching Chelsea from last couple of years. What's the deal with all these comments about Mount? I thought he was okay and a good squad option.
Edit: can some one please give me summary?

I think he's good too. I never get the criticism towards him
Like I wouldn't start him over grealish for England but are they same position? If so that's more on Southgate than mount
Slightly better version than Lingard. Good squad option but not ready to start yet if the team wants to challenge for the title.
So weird seeing Tuchel in all Chelsea blue.
What a dull game this is
So which ones in this Chelsea line up went behind the managers back?
