Burn the yellow!!!

Wouldn't Werner need to be part of that equation? It seems like an awful lot of getting people to all being on the same page, including their agents, to complete these types of deals.

This match has me worried a little. Even with their injuries, when Liverpool is on, their attack is really smooth. We really need the points. It definitely is not the end of our top 4 pursuit if we lost, but there are so many teams right near 4 right now.

I am really getting concerned about Pulisic and his future with the team. I don't understand the cliff dive in performance and the injuries just keep coming.

Our rivals say the same thing about our English draws. I hope we keep getting lucky early draws. It seems we make up for it in our CL draws after group play.

I would agree with all those except giving CHO a rest and Pulisic in. It is impossible to guess the formation with Tuchel, that's not a bad thing.

The way Tuchel is using the double pivot is a link from defense to attack, when you hear him speak it is clear it is best to think of those positions as a part of the defense and the wing backs are a part of the attack. It is hard to argue with the how good we became defensively and holding possession almost over night. We will know more when we play teams that are more committed to attacking us.

My son played for a youth team that was as high level as it gets around Georgia and Florida, The Golden Isles Soccer Association.. Chelsea FC sponsored the team.

With only two games under Tuchel, our defense is looking solid, and it will probably get better. I am hopeful we become a team that beats the teams it should on a consistent basis. We have loads of talent, hoping Tuchel is the piece we need.

Yes! Spurs looked terrible. We win on Thursday and we can move to 5th!!

Spurs have not looked good today. Bale has offered nothing.

It wasn't always pretty, but we never let Burnley get in it. That is a change from the last 18 months. Even when we are not scoring, we are playing calm.

Attack is looking better and everyone is getting back.

This lineup is full of possible howler moments. This is a harsh 7am wake up. come on you Blues

I don't think he has fully grown into his body. I believe more control and better timing are still to come. If we are patient with him, I think he still has more upside to his game.

I never meant to imply that he asked. He has been played there by both Chelsea and the national team, and it does not take advantage of his best qualities.

I really hope the one thing that changes with a new manager is that we stop walking the ball down and then bomb in high cross after high cross. I hope to see more attacking from both the middle and wide.

We have better wingers than Havertz and Mount. I think Mount has shown in the past year he is less than average as a winger, but very good in midfield.

With the price paid for Havertz, I don't see them giving up on him. I think we can expect to see him in the 10. Mount will need to play as one of the double pivots. I love the energy Mount brings to the team, but I think we are going to see a heavy dose of Havertz.

After watching the interview with Tuchel this morning, I can saw with 100% accuracy, I have no idea who he will start in this game? An hour before the game it will be like unwrapping a Christmas present.

I am at work so could not watch the game live. Our next stretch of games is very favorable to get some points. The only team that could give us trouble for the next two weeks is Spurs. I will wait and hold judgement until Tuchel can implement his attack. It sounded like he played it safe today. Hopefully good things ahead of us.

I cannot find anything about Pulisic being a scratch for this game?

I do respect that instead of watching from the stands tomorrow he held off practice so he could be at training to prepare the team for Wolves and be on the touchline coaching. It takes some balls to step in with short notice and get a team ready for a game when the easy way would be watching from the stands with no responsibility for the outcome. I hate to see Frank go, but a great call for a beginning.

If what is reported is only half true, Tuchel is inheriting a bad locker room that needs to be dealt with very fast.

CHO was pretty spectacular too, beautiful goal.
