I'm looking at this list and all I'm seeing is further banana skins. Everton away with a new coach. Leeds away. Westham. Wolves. Southampton away. Plus arsenal and Leicester at home.
Makes you just further appreciate what Guardiola's mancity did by going on such a run.

Tuchel, an incredible 12 months and the battle to avoid a Chelsea second-year wobble

Simon Johnson and more Jan 26, 2022 75
Thomas Tuchel hasn’t had much of a chance to relax over the past 12 months.

January 26 marks his first anniversary as Chelsea head coach, and the German might actually get to enjoy it because of a two-week winter break in the fixture list for Premier League clubs.
There was, of course, the chance to have a summer holiday in June, too. But for the most part, it has been pretty much non-stop ever since Tuchel accepted the post and worked out what the team would be for his first game against Wolves the following evening during the one-hour flight from Paris to London.

Tuchel has so many impressive achievements to reflect on from year one.
Obviously, there is the incredible achievement of winning the Champions League in May, adding the UEFA Super Cup three months later and leading the club from ninth when he took over to a top-four finish.

Only Manchester City have earned more Premier League points than Chelsea since Tuchel’s arrival and he is the first coach in the club’s history to reach the finals of the Champions League, FA Cup and EFL Cup. A feat achieved in a mere 350 days.
No one can dispute his reign hasn’t been a success so far. Yet, like many of his predecessors, the toughest task lies ahead — maintaining the momentum and staying in the job for the long-term.

The past shows that in the near two decades of the Roman Abramovich era, only Jose Mourinho has.....

Record signing Lukaku is struggling for form and appeared to blame Tuchel’s tactics during an interview with Sky Italia last month. The Chelsea coach, who was backed by the club, dropped the Belgian for one game and was praised for how he handled the situation.
But it is believed the Belgian isn’t the only one who is showing signs of discontent. Indeed a source connected to one of the senior players paints a rather worrying picture.
They claim that the mood among many of Chelsea’s attackers isn’t good to say the least due to the way Tuchel uses and treats them. The situation has grown serious enough for some of them to start considering leaving in the summer.

Tuchel doesn’t hide his frustration towards players during games. His angst has been somewhat understandable due to Chelsea’s inability to take chances in front of goal. This is a major factor in their Premier League challenge going awry.

One source points to this inconsistency, both in terms of selection and in attacking roles, as the primary reason why none of Chelsea’s forwards have been able to build significant rhythm or chemistry on the pitch.
Another more concerning point of tension has been the way Tuchel talks to his attackers. The source describes his manner as “brutal”, with players regularly subjected to a barrage of criticism for every wrong decision and missed chance in matches and training.

A consequence of this, the source claims, is Chelsea’s attackers second-guessing themselves, not playing on instinct and, worse, being afraid to try things and risk giving the ball away. The intensity of Tuchel’s criticism has also created the impression rightly or wrongly for some that subsequent team selection decisions are born of emotion, rather than simply form and fitness.

Spirits were lifted by the Tottenham triumph. It was the third win over their rivals in less than three weeks after also beating them in both legs of the EFL Cup semi-final.

But that doesn’t mean the potential problems have suddenly disappeared. Other sources have confirmed that in recent weeks the feeling around the camp hasn’t been good and share similar views.

It’s not just because of tiredness,” another contact close to the squad says. “Something is not right. This is typical Chelsea. New managers do well then, after 12-18 months, people start getting frustrated with what’s going on.

Some players are starting to see through a few things. You can’t have one rule for some and different rules for others. Some look at players who are starting, not playing well and still keeping their place.

People are going to get more annoyed about it, especially now the Premier League isn’t in touching distance. When everything is still on and going well, you can accept it more. Players who are in and out of the side are going to think about whether they need to go somewhere else to play more.

The respect for everything he has done is still there, but the bond isn’t as close as it was.....

Why does Lakaka order every other players to press without him ever pressing?. All he does is to jog around. Pointer, escorter and sweater
