‘It happened against Leeds’ – Tuchel finally reveals what pains him the most in Southampton defeat
At the St. Mary’s Stadium, Chelsea performed dreadfully, and it’s fair to say Thomas Tuchel’s team didn’t deserve to win.
Chelsea has lost twice in just five games, and this season’s performances have been anything than stellar.
After the game, Thomas Tuchel stated that the lack of effort in the second half was the disappointing aspect of the loss.
Frustrated Tuchel said: “It is not enough to win away matches, it is not enough to play 20-25 minutes on the level we want. It is too easy to put us off balance, to beat us, to confuse us. It is too easy.
“It happened against Leeds. We need to understand why and find solutions. We lose concentration, we lose our plan and lose consistency, it is too easy to beat us.
“A lot of key players are injured, it is something I don’t really understand. You can always lose football matches and I am humble enough to admit this but in a match where you are in the lead there is no need to give away half chances.
“To have no answers in the second half was disappointing. We need to have answers, we need to step up and play a level higher if needed. We struggled to do this.”
