No we've won so it's not a test anymore.He passed his first real test.
As a Chelsea fan are you not a bit disappointed in having thrown Lampard out in the cold after less than one season?Good performance, especially Christensen, Jorginho, decent goal by Giroud too. Counter pressing was sharper today. CHO treatment got the message across?
We look solid. Still lack in the final third though, very frustrating at times getting in positions but not creating clear chances. Shame PL doesn't allow 5 subs also.
Famous last words from @Wayne's WorldFamous last words but we'll beat Chelsea on Sunday. I think Tuchel has done well so far but seems like they are still in honeymoon mode. Can see us changing that on Sunday
Party time excellent!Famous last words from @Wayne's World
I think those words may come back to bite him. Im confident against UtdFamous last words from @Wayne's World
Less than one season? Huh?As a Chelsea fan are you not a bit disappointed in having thrown Lampard out in the cold after less than one season?
There's no way you will park the bus the same way Atletico did tonight. They genuinely played a back 6.I didn't see it but impressive win and a clean sheet. I thought he might have had his first defeat tonight.
I'm guessing we should expect possession football vs counter attack blitz on Sunday? Ole vs Tuchel round 5! Interesting that the away team has won on the previous 4 meetings
Next season I would suggest.When does it finally get recognised that he has changed the side, and we do look better as a unit since his appointment.
It's quite alarming how quickly Tuchel has turned Chelsea into a seemingly well drilled cohesive unit. They are not there in terms of being a fun watch and creating lots of chances but I am sure that will follow with all the attacking talent at their disposal.I think those words may come back to bite him. Im confident against Utd
I think most expected us to lose tonight - but we won, and its still "honeymoon" mode. When does it finally get recognised that he has changed the side, and we do look better as a unit since his appointment. Cant keep using the honeymoon excuse
I watched the first half and bit parts of the second , Chelsea were equally as poor, especially in that first half, one of the worst CL game I have seen in ages, terrible football on show from both clubs,That was an perfect executed away game in the CL against a tricky side. Probably the best I’ve seen Chelsea play this season. Atletico were really poor though.
I mean that's a ridiculous take, especially as you admit you didn't even watch the whole match. Atletico didn't have a shot on target and played a literal 6-3-1 - no neutral who watched that game in good faith could possibly think we were as poor. At least we tried to create things; they were content to play for the 0-0 it seemed like.I watched the first half and bit parts of the second , Chelsea were equally as poor, especially in that first half, one of the worst CL game I have seen in ages, terrible football on show from both clubs,
With the squad Chelsea have they are massively underachieving and almost getting a free ride from criticism in the media, I've seen nothing from them yet under Tuchel that worries me and I know if we are to lose against them this week it will be due to our own doing and idiotic mistakes as per rather than being outplayed by Chelsea because we are a much better team than them.
Is that a tuchelism?Good performance, especially Christensen, Jorginho, decent goal by Giroud too. Counter pressing was sharper today. CHO treatment got the message across?

It's really not, i mentioned how much i watched as maybe I missed a 10-15 min decent spell from Chelsea but bar Hudson-Odoi your attack was non existent and for the talent you have in that team you should be doing so much better, I am not even trying to wind Chelsea fans up, I am just shocked at how bad you guys are in attackI mean that's a ridiculous take, especially as you admit you didn't even watch the whole match.

Tuchel calls it 'Gegenpressing'Is that a tuchelism?
Can you remind me how long Frank was Chelsea manager.As a Chelsea fan are you not a bit disappointed in having thrown Lampard out in the cold after less than one season?
I've definitely been very impressed by Tuchel's work so far. But the whole point of the concept of the honeymoon is that everything is easier in the short term, as everybody is playing their hardest to impress the new manager, nobody is complaining yet about reduced playing time, and other managers don't have enough film on you to figure out exactly what you're doing and how to best set up against you. As such, its perfectly possible to have changed the side and make you look better while also enjoying a honeymoon. They are completely consistent with each other and only time can tell whether there was a honeymoon effect at work or not.I think those words may come back to bite him. Im confident against Utd

Atletico played the whole match with 6 defenders in their final line! Their only gameplan was for Suarez to try to dive to hold the ball up; otherwise they were playing for the clean sheet. Pushing additional players forward would have been ridiculous especially in the first leg of the tie; it was entirely sensible to focus on defending potential counters against an Atleti who are very good in transition.It's really not, i mentioned how much i watched as maybe I missed a 10-15 min decent spell from Chelsea but bar Hudson-Odoi your attack was non existent and for the talent you have in that team you should be doing so much better, I am not even trying to wind Chelsea fans up, I am just shocked at how bad you guys are in attack
I think they were the better team the whole match. Of course they been underachieving massively under Lampard. I mean they are still playing with Abraham and Giroud as starters leaving Havertz, Ziyech and Pulisic out almost every game. That must be a little disappointing for Abramovich.I watched the first half and bit parts of the second , Chelsea were equally as poor, especially in that first half, one of the worst CL game I have seen in ages, terrible football on show from both clubs,

Autocorrect? That's one hell of a way to write that name!I think Too Kill is the real deal.
You were actually favourites. The odds shifted from you as an underdog to favourites yesterday so actually you were expected to win. I'm worried about facing you on Sunday, I think we will get thrashed. We have not beaten a top six team this season, worrying.I think those words may come back to bite him. Im confident against Utd

Then we will smash you. Usually it works against the general feeling. You guys were dreading facing Athletico, but you did great. Now you're eager to face, and we'll punish you for it. Joking aside though, I expect it to be really tight match, probably 1-1 or 2-1 for either side.I think those words may come back to bite him. Im confident against Utd

One of the BT pundits is using this way of saying his name. If you watch his pressers it is fitting. Tuchel likes using the verb kill. We must kill the goal in the final 30 meters. At PSG he was against the compacted schedule saying we are going to kill the players with this ridiculous schedule.Autocorrect? That's one hell of a way to write that name!
There have been worse nicknames...Thomas 'two kills' Tuchel
No doubt. I think this result gets further buy in from the players on this way of playing a more balanced defense and attack, although the attack needs more refinement. As long as he has all this talent marching in the same direction. At the end of Super Frank's time I was looking forward to this match like a trip to the dentist's office.I would wait for the second leg, Simeone is an old fox and Atletico already did the trick last year.
For a backup striker i don't see what the problem is. His goal record record for us is good, hard to find good centre forwards willing to be backup.I've said it before, and i will say it again, Tammy Abraham is nowhere near good enough for a team who want to win the title. Not even close. I often see our fans defending him massively, and its all down to him being an academy product. He's bang average at best
When do Utd ever smash Chelsea at stamford bridge? I never get the whole we "going to smash you lot etc" if very rarely happens. Some Utd fans were saying the same thing last season before the FA cup semi final when you were on that good run and it didn't happen.Looking forward to smashing this lot and knocking this new crowd of hipsters jumping onto the Tuchel bandwagon. Ole has already beaten his superior team twice, I fancy us to roll them over.
