Is Jorginho playing well now? Yes. So is Rudiger and others that looked like clueless cats whenever Chelsea wasn't playing with 3 CBs and handbrakes. Still saying it, you can cry if you want. Tuchel's "brilliance" is knowing that this team can't play open end to end football.
He has applied the handbrakes with bodies in the middle and defence. Then incorporated Sarri's "defend with possession". It's sensible. But not a genius move in any way. If he didn't come in mid-season when things were bad, more people will be critical of the style.
Go back and check the few games Lampard went 343 or whatever combination of three at the back. The team performed solidly in ALL of them. Got his biggest wins with it. His naivety made him think he can play sweet expansive football with them.
Tuchel obviously has 2 decades of experience. He can see bullshit faster than a rookie manager. He's also not here to entertain anybody. So you'll get lots of dour performances but solid results. If/when he wins a couple trophies, the pressure on his style will come, like Conte.
See how he's also not wasting time with players he doesn't have to play. Saw Alonso didn't have intensity and quickly dropped him. Abraham has his flaws but there's no upside to helping him improve at the expense of results like a Lampard would do.
He would have benched Werner permanently but he has a hefty transfer fee.. Werner is also useful in games like yesterday. Bottomline: he knows what works in a cut-throat business. Wants to be as successful as possible quickly.
Lampard naively took on a "project" that was even too big for him. Looking at the future like a proper Chelsea fan in a business first environment. Lol. Anyway, thanks to him for Reece James and Mason Mount.
Hilariously, the manager that was trying to think of the future and improve some young kids that are still malleable was the one being hounded for not improving old Werner etc. The new guy gets a pass and doesn't have to improve anyone. Everyone now agrees the player is bad. Lol.
