Must admit; I’m nervous ahead of this Sheffield United game. They’ve been in good form of late, but we should really be accounting for them nonetheless. Hopefully we can start putting games away early and getting more than two goals in.
 
Those last 10 minutes were very stressful, great save from Mendy at the end. Not the best of games, in fact, I'd say it's the worst we've played under Tuchel so far. Rudiger (bar the OG), Werner and Jorghino all looking good, I thought Tammy was stiff to not get any minutes but I guess at the moment it's a trial and error type thing. Regardless of how we played 3 points is 3 points and now we're just a point outside of the top four!

It was exactly the same in our game against Spurs.

We have just got to put teams away so that we have that buffer and not give teams a sniff of a draw (or a win) in that last quarter hour of games, because I'm like you, it just makes for a stressful and far from enjoyable experience. I guess in the past I wouldn't be worried, but for whatever reason, I don't trust this team yet and expect the worst, which I hope changes soon (perhaps more than a couple of good results i.e. wins against some of the top clubs would be a start).

Very true, we've only really beaten fodder under Touchel like Sheffield United and Tottenham

I think a win against Man Utd at Stamford Bridge and any sort of result against Liverpool at Anfield in a couple of games time will go a long way to changing my view.

I agree with others sentiments that the team is certainly a lot more cohesive under Touchel which is really heartening.
 
Feels like were slowly improving under Tuchel. Kovacic has been great, but when he breaks into the final 3rd he holds the ball too long and been a few chances to play Werner through but held on too long. Still building the chemistry, and wins help build confidence so hopefully it keeps going.
 
Who'd have thought a few weeks ago that we could be back in the top 4 so quickly, which will happen if Liverpool drop any points against Leicester and we win against Newcastle?

I certainly wouldn't have given we fell as far as 9th on the table a couple of weeks ago. A lot of credit to Tuchel and the lads, even if the wins of late have contained there fair share of nerves. Long may our trajectory continue for the remainder of the season.
 
Ziyech looks out of Tuchels plans, hardly played.

Abraham and until the weekend Chilwell have barely been seen either. Thought Chilwell would be the perfect wingback option.

Interesting to see if these guys get minutes in the FA Cup.

Might be just me, but reckon it could be time to cash in on Kante whilst he still has some real value. Injuries are starting to mount for him, doubt we'll see his best again. Plus, I'd rather Gilmour start to get some minutes later in matches and Gallagher looks to have had a good season at WBA so could return.

Agreed, I find it quite interesting that two guys who I thought had flourished this season (Ziyech and Chilwell) are on the outer under Tuchel whereas CHO (on the outer with Lampard) is thriving (even though every time Frank played him, provided us with something) in addition to Mount (who IMO is our Player of the Year to date).

On the other hand, Havertz has looked average no matter who he has played under, which is concerning for the club given he and Kepa (our two most expensive players) are sitting in the stands.
