Tuchel has a much tougher job going into next season than he did at the start of this one. The only players I am confident in right now are Silva, James, Chilwell and Mount. If we could keep Kovacic and Kante fit, they would be on that list too, but the rest?........huge question marks over their names.
Kepa. Not good enough for the first team, but his wages are far too high for a backup
Mendy, not been at the standard needed since that performance against West Ham.
Azpilicueta (if he stays) legs look gone and it's turned him into a player that panics and makes mistakes, very unlike Azpilicueta.
Alonso, excellent in the box, but lacks in so many other areas. Agility and pace in our set up is critical to it working, he doesn't have that and it has a serious negative impact on our attacking game.
Sarr, not good enough, needs replacing.
Chalobah, decent season, good enough as a squad player.
Christensen, leaving, heads been gone for months now.
Rudiger, would be on my list to stay, but he's leaving. Could be a big miss.
Jorginho, good for 50% if the season, not good enough for the other 50%.
Saul, nope.
Barkley, nope.
Loftus-Cheek, decent squad player, maybe. Flatters to decieve too often.
Pulisic, too soft, lost his dribbling ability, gets bullied. Stuggling badly with the pace and power of the league.
Ziyech, again, too soft, too slow, has moments of brilliance, but it's not enough.
Hudson-Odoi, disappeared off the face of the Earth. Career currently not going as we thought it would.
Werner, awful football.
Havertz, has all of the talent, but he doesn't want it enough. He plays the game like it's a kick about with his friends. Needs to show much more urgency and use stop get a bit tougher.
Lukaku, has no business playing for any top team if he can't control a football.
So the next question is who do you keep and who do you replace?
