I wouldn't say so, no.
Ultimately, from the start of Tuchel's time last season until the end - they accumulated 38 points; scoring 25 goals and conceding 13. We accumulated 34 points; scoring 37 goals and conceding 19. I don't think we were close to the level of ruthlessness that I'd alluded to and I wouldn't say Chelsea were either, albeit a little closer than us.
They averaged 2 PPG in this time, we averaged 1.8. For comparison, City averaged 2.4 in this same time frame last season. Liverpool - 2.3 in 2019/20. City - 2.8 in 2018/19 (with Liverpool at 2.4).
They're not a bad team, I just think that as with us they'll need to either go up a level or rely on City/Liverpool dropping down a level if they're going to win the league.
