Chelseaon Thursday night.
Thomas Tuchel tells Sky Sports:
“One team deserved to win, and that’s us, but we didn’t take it. It’s our responsibility to win a game where we dominated in all important areas. It was a very good performance but we were not decisive, not clinical enough.
We lacked a bit of determination. It’s on us to learn from it. Once you have the reward, you need to be fully alert after it. We did not take what was deserved. These games happen, it was one of those games.
Reecey was a bit unlucky in his decisions, he could have been more precise to score and assist, but we needed it today to have a clear win. Havertz and Werner did not reach their peak performance today, and if they did we would have been winners, but there’s no need to point fingers.”
He added at his press conference after the game:
I'm very happy with the performance because it was a huge team effort and I thought we showed what it takes to win at a huge stadium. We played with a lot of quality but unfortunately we don't have what we deserve and we have to live with it.
We were very dominant and found the spaces. I found us very dominant and I was happy with how we played and had moments of acceleration. It felt like a little bit was missing in the last 16 yards of the field to finish off earlier and be more decisive earlier. We found the spaces frequently."
