Tuchel says Chelsea have found new 'permanent goal threats' in two players

 



Following their goalscoring performance in Saturday's 7-0 win over Norwich City, Tuchel believes wing-back combination Ben Chilwell and Reece James have now become "constant goal threats" for Chelsea.


Chilwell maintained his excellent goal-scoring streak, scoring in three Premier League games in a row this season – four in all, including his strike against Aston Villa on the final day of last season.

James, on the other side, may have scored the game's finest goal. From a challenging angle, he brilliantly dinked the ball over Norwich City goalkeeper Tim Krul.


Tuchel was pleased with the pair's overall efforts, but he stressed the importance of their runs into the box to the team's strategy.


“Now he [Chilwell] is back. He’s pushed luck to his side, he took his chance, and he’s very, very strong, so I’m happy,” the German told Chelsea TV after the game.


“We need the wing-backs to score in our structure, to arrive in the box and be decisive, and both [Chilwell and James] are doing well.”

Nothing made me happier than seeing Solskjaer succeed. His position as United manager has been scrutinised since he took over as caretaker manager, but he has overcome the odds time and time again, coming back from the edge several times, regenerating, but this Liverpool defeat encapsulated everything, and returning from the brink appears unlikely. For Solskjaer, the way in which his team performed against Liverpool was crucial. We could have all held our hands up and said Liverpool were the superior team if we had gone down fighting after a full-throttle team display. Instead, we were behind 3-0 after 38 minutes and 4-0 at halftime. Instead, United found itself adrift at sea, wi...

The club's owners, Fenway Sports Group, reportedly tried to persuade Edwards to prolong his tenure with the club, but he declined, supposedly wanting to start a fresh chapter somewhere, resulting in the inevitable being confirmed by the club's official website. After such a fantastic stint with Jurgen Klopp, where the 42-year-old led Liverpool to Premier League and Champions League titles, speculation will undoubtedly begin on where the 42-year-old will settle next.
