Salient points observed: 1. Chelsea's midfield was so good that I didn't notice Bentacur until he tackled Havertz (he got the ball before getting Havertz). 2. Tuchel is a terrific tactician, as he knew Son and not Kane is the real threat. 3. Reece James became Son's shadow for his team and did a great job. 4. It was surprising to see Chelsea delivering such high quality crosses AFTER Lukaku left! 5. Tottenham new signings seem to be their gamechanger this season.

Im a liverpool fan but I think tuchel in terms of making plans game by game is insane as a manager... Klopp and pep have a philosophy that doesnt change and is super hard to beat on the other hand tuchel has no set style of play and much like Potter for brighton he changes every game which is very impressive but too pragmatic at times.... Pep and klopps systems work against any type of team its so impressive but to be able to adapt every game with different systems is credit to tuchel but also credit to the players to carry it out

[@matthewbourne9647]

You know the game 👊🏿 The truth is the best managers create a/or system(s) that are so dominant that they don’t have to react to the opponent, i.e (Pep & Klopp) as u mentioned & even though Tuchel can be very good tactically at times the lack of an identity on a consistent basis does a lot more harm than good imo based not only on what we see on the pitch but also as it relates to recruitment/transfers & a long term vision for the team!

Sterling's such a frustrating player. Even a Jamaican British lady, I just can't with this guy. He misses so many easy chances. His temperament isn't there. If Chelsea were 3-0 up and cruising like they should've been, he likely would've converted that chance easily to make it 4-0, but with the pressure on, he bottles it. Chelsea will feel grieved to not have won this match with the decisions that went against them, but really, they had more than enough chances to kill the game before it got to those points. I expect another season of them relying on their defenders for goals.

Mason Mount and Reece James are so so important for Chelsea

[@gabrielalohan728]

Both managers deserve an 8/10 score, they were literally dishing out so much tweaks and evolution of playing with a 3 man system. In fact, both managers did so much experimentation that one could see the delicate equilibrium between a 3 man system and a 4 man system. Another key actor were the players for both sides. It's one thing for a manager to be brave and move players into an unfamiliar role, it's another for the players to confidently take those roles without proper training and technical know-how. Big ups to the managers for being able to motivate their players so that whatever system deployed works. I change my score, they both deserve a 9/10. Brilliant, absolutely brilliant.

[@avyuktkochhar8374]

Conte had the solution in his first half structure itself. Had Perisic started instead of Sessegnon, Spurs would have been a much bigger threat. With James following Son deep, and RLC being pinned wide and high by Sessegnon, Sessegnon would have had a lot of space to exploit and a slow Thiago Silva to take on. Eric Dier has the passing range to make those diagonals as well. Problem is, Sessegnon isn't as great at exploiting space, finishing or beating a man 1v1 as Perisic. If Perisic played in the first half structure, he could have been in on goal a lot of times.

[@lhy8373]

it’s alright it’s still early days. Perisic was saved as Son backup this match. Starting both of them is a risk. The left side would lack in defense.

[@joshbrown2217]

Spurs had a clear pressing trap for Jorghino which resulted for the first goal. Chelsea often pass to him when in danger, so when he got the ball on the edge of the box, like 4/5 players just swarmed him, leaving him with nowhere to go but a speculative chip, which they took advantage off. I think this is why Tuchel took him off, to disrupt this pressing trap and to make the Chelsea players think for themselves a bit more rather than being lazy, especially without Kova there. Chelsea also did a good job of preventing Son or Kane from having much time on the ball and ensured they tailed them. Also Cucurella, Koulibaly and Jorgnio just make such a crisp passing triangle, then further up the pitch the same with Mount, cucurella and Jorgino, meaning when we got heavily pressed, we tried progressing up the left (which is probably how Conte came to devising that pressing trap in the first place)

I did think that Sess and Kulu weren't creative enough to deal with Chelsea's tactics. However, it wasn't the first time the Touchel uses this 4222 tactics. I did thought that Conte will learn more how to confront it. Or to react faster against it. It took time until Richalision Bissoma and Perisic came to change the game. Both goals conceded by Spurs could be stopped with more concetration. Sadly, the pressure was great and the players surrended to it. Thanks.

Tuchel is better than Conte tactically. I have said this even last two seasons. The edge Conte have over Tuchel is his ability to prepare a team, physically, mentally and coarse them to work above their limits for a league challenge... That's the reason he has not won any European trophy, because it's different from a league title.... Tuchel is a European and cup coach. He can stand against the best tactically. For example, Chelsea had a poor game at Everton, the media believed Spurs will destroy Chelsea here ,cos of their manager and fitness. But in this match, Conte was the one following Tuchel tactically here. Kane, Son, kulusevski were hidden by Tuchel tactically... Those 3 were supposed to be the highlight of Spurs team... Chelsea can not finish their chances....the same thing that kept withdrawing them from City and Liverpool. The same reason they lost two finals to Liverpool last season.
