Beaten on the lawn of Southampton (2-1), this Tuesday, Chelsea conceded their second defeat this season. A setback that obviously does not pass in the eyes of his coach Thomas Tuchel, pointing to a lack of desire and determination. “We are not strong enough to win these away games, regretted Tuchel at a press conference. It was the same story in Leeds. They made us lose our balance in two minutes and we couldn’t find any answers. We were unbalanced and we did not react. We were lucky not to concede a third goal early in the second half. We weren’t tough enough. Our defense was too soft. he said after the match.
“We must have a different mentality, warned Tuchel. This is not enough at the moment. We are humble enough to accept that we can lose games, but it’s too easy to bully us.” he added. A worrying performance, in line with that against Leeds (3-0 defeat), which put Chelsea in difficulty. Eighth 5 points behind Arsenal (who have one game less), the Blues will have to pull themselves together quickly, as they will have to manage a difficult London derby against West Ham this weekend.
