Thomas Tuchel has proven Roman Abramovich right - but can Chelsea harmony last

Don't wait around for updates - sign up for our daily football email newsletter today!Thomas Tuchel has done the impossible at Chelsea.In 14 unbeaten games in his opening eight weeks as the Blues head coach, the German has managed to make everyone within Stamford Bridge feel a part of the action.There is no Chelsea player who can seriously moan or contest that he has not been given any chance to impress.Of course, Tammy Abraham, Ben Chilwell, Christian Pulisic, to name a few, might contest they deserve to be his first-pick more often but none can claim to have been excluded.That takes some effort, like trying to arrange some extremely complex, huge human-ego jigsaw - and with the constant pressure from the outside to turn the team into a

Chelsea’s four-man defender shortlist as Tuchel looks beyond priority Erling Haaland

Thomas Tuchel looks beyond priority signing Erling Haaland.Tuchel's side are expected to be in the race to sign Haaland in the summer transfer window, with the Borussia Dortmund striker coveted by Europe's top clubs.But Chelsea are also set to target a defensive signing amid uncertainty over the futures of their current rearguard stars including Thiago Silva, Antonio Rudiger, Andreas Christensen and Cesar Azpilicueta.The Premier League side have been excellent in defence since Tuchel took charge, having kept 12 clean sheets in 14 games under the new manager - including shutouts in their last matches games in a row.But they will freshen up their backline as Tuchel looks to stamp his mark on the squad this summer.

Chelsea survive FA Cup scare as Thomas Tuchel finds new methods to win ugly

Chelsea did here.Leading early through an Oliver Norwood own goal, the Blues made hard work of this one.And but for a woeful miss of the season contender from David McGoldrick it could have been a very different story.Rhian Brewster should have equalised too but hit the side netting when it looked easier to score.Few gave struggling Sheffield United a prayer, but after a poor first half in which they were thoroughly dominated, the Blades caused some problems.And Chelsea only survived the scare when Hakim Ziyech came off the bench to score a second in stoppage time.But Tuchel’s side are through to the semi-finals and they are now unbeaten in 14 matches under the German, who played a weakened team.It’s not always pretty, and at times this

Chelsea’s three-man transfer shortlist shows Thomas Tuchel’s fears despite unbeaten run

Chelsea may be unbeaten since Thomas Tuchel's arrival in January, but that won't stop the German wielding the axe in the summer after drawing up a three-man transfer shortlist.The Blues haven't lost in 13 under Tuchel, who replaced club legend Frank Lampard two months ago, winning nine and drawing four.Such form has seen Chelsea regain their place in the top four of the Premier League and progress to the Champions League quarter-finals for the first time since 2014.His arrival has also coincided with the Blues' recent defensive improvement - Chelsea have conceded twice in 13 games - so it may come as a surprise that Tuchel is looking to bolster the defence.Daily Star Sport have run the rule over Tuchel's three-man transfer shortlist, as

Chelsea's "perfect solution" could come back to haunt them after Champions League draw

Chelsea were drawn against Porto in the Champions League quarter-finals in what is viewed as the most favourable outcome for the Blues. However, Thomas Tuchel's side will have to face off against one of their own players in the two-legged tie.That's because new signing Malang Sarr, who is out on loan at Porto, will be free to play against his parent club.Sarr, who was signed on a free transfer last summer after leaving OGC Nice, has spent the season on loan at the Portuguese giants and has made 19 appearances across all competitions.Speaking recently, he explained that going out on loan to Porto has been the "perfect solution" for him to get some game time.Sarr, 22, said: “I was training with Chelsea before I got loaned.

Thomas Tuchel admits what Chelsea don’t want from Friday’s Champions League draw

Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel admits he wants to avoid former club Paris St-Germain in Friday’s Champions League draw.The Blues booked their place in the quarter-finals of the competition for the first time in seven years on Wednesday night, cruising past Atletico Madrid in a one-sided last-16 second leg at Stamford Bridge.Having earned a narrow 1-0 victory in the first leg out in Romania last month, Tuchel’s men took control of the decider by opening the scoring through Hakim Ziyech 10 minutes before half-time.Atletico were a shadow of the side that dumped Liverpool out at the same stage last season, and Stefan Savic’s red card for an elbow on Antonio Rudiger with 10 minutes to go all but ended their hopes of a turnaround.Substitute Emerson

Three things Thomas Tuchel got right as Chelsea ease past Atletico Madrid in Champions League

Chelsea booked their place in the Champions League quarter-finals with a 2-0 win over Atletico Madrid at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday night.It was a masterclass in seeing out a two-legged tie from Thomas Tuchel’s side as they held firm at back following their 1-0 win in the first leg.The German gave Diego Simeone a taste of his own medicine with a firm but fair challenge in west London, and Atletico barely came close to threatening in truth.Hakim Ziyech and Emerson Palmieri were the men who made the difference with goals either side of half time, but it was truly a team performance to be proud of for Tuchel.Here’s three things Tuchel got right as Chelsea eased past their Spanish counterparts and into the next round of the Champions

Hakim Ziyech shows Thomas Tuchel what Chelsea have been missing in Atletico victory

Chelsea into the last eight for the first time in seven years.Hakim Ziyech was nicknamed the wizard of Amsterdam for casting many a fancy spell with Ajax before he joined the Blues in a £37m transfer agreed last February.And while he has only shown glimpses of that magic for Chelsea, all the tricks came out last night as the Moroccan put on a show.Ziyech won’t score many easier goals than his strike which broke the deadlock against disappointing La Liga leaders Atletico.It was his first Champions League goal at Stamford Bridge for Chelsea - and his first at home in the competition since May 2019.But there was plenty to suggest this could be just the start of things as his Blues career kicks into gear.Diego Simeone’s side came out fighting

Thomas Tuchel's Kai Havertz comments shed light on Frank Lampard's mistake with Chelsea star

Tuchel played Havertz as a false nine in Saturday's 0-0 Premier League draw against Leeds United at Elland Road.The 21-year-old didn't have quite the impact he had against Everton last week - when he forced an own goal and won a penalty to inspire Chelsea's 2-0 victory.But his movement caused the Leeds defence plenty of problems, with his finishing ultimately letting him down.Afterwards, Tuchel said the reason for playing Havertz as a nine was simple - that's his best position.While some fans might argue he was better in the role he played against Everton, Tuchel's conviction was in stark contrast to Lampard's comments a few months ago, when he didn't seem to know where best to play Havertz.Following Chelsea's draw against Leeds, Tuchel was

Baffling Chelsea stat highlights both Thomas Tuchel's strength and weakness

Thomas Tuchel is clearly good at organising a defence, though still needs to sort his attacking out at Chelsea.That is what a baffling stat would lead fans to believe with the Blues having been held to a goalless draw by Leeds on Saturday.It means Chelsea have had more goalless draws in 10 Premier League games under Tuchel (3) than they did in 57 under Frank Lampard (2).Tuchel replaced Lampard in January and the former PSG boss is yet to taste defeat in the Prem at his new club.Defence has certainly improved under Tuchel but Chelsea still have problems going forward, despite a busy transfer window last summer.The Blues splashed out £200m, bringing in the likes of Timo Werner, Kai Havertz and Hakim Ziyech.Only Manchester City have conceded

Three mistakes Thomas Tuchel made as Chelsea's transfer need becomes clear in Leeds draw

Chelsea's quest to secure a Champions League finish took a hit as they were held by Leeds United 0-0 in a bore draw at Elland Road.The hosts thought they had taken the lead just minutes into the first-half when Patrick Bamford found Tyler Roberts to tap into an empty net.Unfortunately for Marcelo Bielsa’s side, Roberts had strayed offside with the flag correctly going up.Minutes later, the Blues almost went out in front in bizarre circumstances as Luke Ayling’s clearance cannoned off Diego Llorente, only for the ball to loop over Illan Meslier and hit the crossbar.Leeds then hit the woodwork themselves after Edouard Mendy somehow got to Roberts’ dipping effort.Chances came and went for both sides in the second period, but neither really

Thomas Tuchel's Pulisic gamble fails to pay off as Chelsea slump to Leeds stalemate

Chelsea have lost ground in the race for top four after being held to a frustrating 0-0 draw away at Leeds - in which Thomas Tuchel’s tactical gamble failed to pay off.Tuchel surprised many with his team selection at Elland Road on Saturday afternoon, first by deploying Kai Havertz as a false nine and then by seemingly switching from his preferred 3-4-2-1 formation to a 4-3-3.There was initially some confusion around Christian Pulisic’s role in the side before kick-off, with BT Sport pundits Rio Ferdinand and Joe Cole suggesting he would actually be operating as a right wing-back.But the American instead appeared to play merely as a right winger against Leeds, positioned just in front of captain Cesar Azpilicueta, who took up a wider
