So how do you reckon we’re doing? I think although several First halfs were rather bad, we’re stabilising. We get results, which is good. Maybe this is the first step towards playing better as well? With one or two additional players in the winter break, we could reach a better level of Style I guess. What’s your take on Tuchel and the team?
Considering the circumstances I can’t complain much.
Tuchel has a thinner and less balanced squad compared to when he took the job in March. Right now we don’t play particularly well but we’re getting results and that’s what matters the most.
I’d like us to have more control in our games, especially in midfield, but that’s a hard task with the player material that we currently have. Tuchels fate will be decided by the transfer period in January. If we get a good holding midfielder and at least one defender, I’m optimistic that we can reach the semis in the UCL and win a domestic double. If we don’t get a good holding 6 however, I don’t see us making it far in the CL knockout stage and I wouldn’t expect winning the DFB Pokal either. That would probably be the end of Tuchel.
The sentence “I’d like us to have more control in our games” is what most people are feeling and not liking I think. Bayern have always dominated the game so even if we lost we felt like we were the better side. Right now we feel like it’s even or sometimes we’re the worse side but are getting the victories anyways. Maybe it’s Tuchelball? Chelsea never looked the better side while winning either.
