Chelsea Didn’t Appoint Tuchel Because Of Werner’s Form – Pat Nevin

The appointment of Thomas Tuchel at Chelsea was not influenced by the form of Werner and Kai Havertz, Pat Nevin. Pat recently revealed that the club simply went for a man they considered a good for the manager role, regardless of any player’s form on the pitch.

According to him, even if how specific players were performing played a part in the decision to employ Tuchel, it was surely not the main reason for the change.

Par added that he has been impressed with Mount’s attitude under the new manager, despite being Lampard’s favorite when he was at the club.

His words, “The suggestion in the media is that Thomas Tuchel was brought in partially to get the best from Timo Werner and Kai Havertz, but apart from that being far too simplistic, it is also only part of the deal.”

“Getting the best out of the home-grown talent is just as important. As time goes by, I think Thomas will be very pleasantly surprised with the quality he has at his disposal.”

“I think most people agree there is a fine team in there somewhere bursting to get out, the manager just has to get the right chemistry.”

“The highlight for me in these early days of Thomas Tuchel has been the attitude and form of Mason Mount.”

“Plenty of people have suggested he has been, on balance, Chelsea’s best player this season. He has certainly been the most reliable, but his brief showing against Wolves stole the show and against Burnley, I honestly think he just shaded it over Callum [Hudson-Odoi] for Man of the Match.”

“He has been finding great space in that area between the opposition defence and midfield while his control of the ball when he receives it looks as good as anyone in the club. He is always on the half turn, his vision is great, always knowing who and what is around him and he is as willing as anyone to make runs beyond defenders to give others a pass option.”
