Tuchel sees Chelsea Vogue and criticizes himself

Actually, the FC Chelsea seemed to form technically over the mountain, after a small trailer with the home defeats against Brentford (1: 4) and Real Madrid (1: 3), there were last three victories - all not before its own audience. On Wednesday evening, the blues returned to the domestic Stamford Bridge, but again showed a face against the FC Arsenal, what Thomas Tuchel released.

Against the Gunners, it was many things. That the Stamford Bridge was not sold out because of the audience restrictions and was only allowed to be visited by season ticket owners and guest fans, but was just a piercing note. Much more had the blues against an opponent, for whom it was still much more likely to miss the right attitude. "We thought we are coming through 80 percent, no idea why," Tuchel showed on the Sky microphone, helpless if the past 90 minutes.

Hair-raising individual mistakes were also joined for the missing 20 percent, Arsenal was invited to the goal shooting. First, Andreas Christensen was punished much too short return from Eddie Nketiah, marriage in the passage two again slapstick in the defensive the Gunners brought back to the lead. The game was rounded off by a clump foul in the penalty area of Cesar Azpilicueta to Bukayo Saka. "We have five goals themselves of the six those who have fallen the likes. I can not remember that we got such goals in this season," said Tuchel's devastating verdict.

"Have to set up players who have something to prove"

The 48-year-old, however, took himself into the criticism, for a long time he worn at the lineup, but ultimately decided partly for the wrong staff. "The tactical solutions were not optimal. It has been dramatically recalled the last home games. I have had to set up players who may have to prove something for themselves," Tuchel said no names, but above all Malang Sarr, but above all, Romelu Lukaku meant, who had played again for the first time since 19 February from the beginning.

All in all, it led to an appearance, the cloth led several times as a "bird game", which remains in the table but for the time being without consequences. Chelsea will probably end the season in third place, with a game more in the hindquarters, the lead on Tottenham and Arsenal is still five points. With the current form from its own audience, the blues can not be too safe, especially since Sunday (3 pm) West Ham is coming to Stamford Bridge.
