Thomas Tuchel's views on Chelsea's defeat to Manchester City

Thomas Tuchel said everyone at Chelsea won and lost together after a disappointing 1-0 loss to Manchester City on Saturday.

The Blues experienced their first defeat of the season, at Stamford Bridge, where Gabriel Jesus' shot refracted and changed the scoreline.

Much of the post-match analysis focused on Tuchel's negative tactics and the overall poor performance of the players, as the home team, under the German coach, failed to score a goal correctly in the Premier League for the first time.

In his post-match press conference, Tuchel admitted that everyone, from the coaching staff to the players, fell short.

"Of course, we weren't happy with our performance and the decisions we made. You need to be at your best level at every aspect of the race and we obviously didn't do it. ”

'We are united in this matter, so we need the coaches and the players to play at the best level and we will now have the necessary self-reflection."

"Our decisions, our passes, our dribbling are not good enough to win the game."

Tuchel is also keen to highlight how good Manchester City is, with Pep Guardiola refining his tactics and team selection to finally triumph over his opponents, who have already lost three times in 2021, including in the Champions League final.

"In the end, we also have to admit that Manchester City are better than us today. They're in better shape and sharper," Tutchell admitted.

'The game is getting harder and harder, we make the wrong decision because when we play, they make the wrong decision, they lose the ball, so more and more faith is lost.

"Without this belief, true faith and confidence, it will help your opponents." Overall, it's a victory City deserves. ”

If the defeat wasn't bad enough, Chelsea also lost Reese James early in the game, and it's unclear whether Mason Mount will be able to make a comeback in Wednesday's Champions League match against Juventus.
