Only on here can Tuchel play Ruben Loftus Cheek of all players at wingback and still be branded defensive.

On here Tuchel gets accused on making attacking players who have had the best stats of their careers under him look bad.

I can understand some critical of the attacking displays (not close to as bad as made out, although not as often as should be we've had some wonderful attacking displays under TT) but the narrative he's a defensive manager is nonsense.

Every outfielder bar the CCB has a big role in the attack stage.

Interesting to see all the Chelsea pundits on Sky.................none.  If this was a Liverpool or City game the studio would be full of them and their unbiased view

CCB?  🤔

Tuchel confirmed back 5 and RLC at wingback.

Central centre back.

Drinking game - Take a drink every time a pundit says Spurs did great business this summer while £60m Richarlison sits on the bench with no chance of starting over Son/Kane and Kuleveski

I suppose the advantage of playing RLC is that we can change to a back 4 without having to make subs. RLC can simply slot into midfield. 
 

We beat them last season in a back 4 so a little surprising that he’s changed it

Well if he was playing him in an offensive role he would play him in the middle.  I hope we see a more offensive RLC than a defensive one today..but I am not holding my breath.  

Com'on you Blues.

 

The streams seem worse this season. They've been crashing and freezing all the time for me the few games I've watched.

Richarlison will get a chance as and when players get injured but I agree that is an expensive bench warmer. Particularly of note is that he is being kept on the bench by a player who is on loan (Kulusevski). Spurs do have the option to buy at the end of the loan, and you would think they will take that up, but in that case where does it leave Richarlison?

I can see this ending 2 ways ...we either bore them to death or we get hammered...😁..KTBFFH 💙

Aint Nil Zero, no goals, no Win.........just saying

We really should be looking at a new RWB to match the strength in depth of the left side.

I'm looking for Mendy and his one howler per game when he try's to play it out.    Looking forward to Sterling actually taking on a defender..I think he'll be the difference.   

COYB

Come on Chelsea!

KTBFFH!

Sterling has never played in a full stadium for a home game has he?  😂

Think we match up well against Tottenham, though they have improved a lot since the last time we played

They’re away!

Except for Liverpool and with England. 

f**k sake

2 minutes and Jorginho's first error setting Spurs on the attack.

We already look too slow. We need to up the energy a little bit as they won't tire quickly. Conte will have them fit
