After that game, Tuchel claimed he had been \u2018in the wrong movie\u2019 for not anticipating such a bad performance. He slammed his players for a lack of determination, hunger and intensity.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“I didn’t see it coming, obviously I was in the wrong movie,” Tuchel ominously reflected. \u201cI thought that the last game helped us. I thought the team was prepared, I thought we know what this is all about.<\/p>\n
“I don’t really know where this performance today comes from. A lack of determination, a lack of hunger and a lack of intensity to actually do the things that we need at the highest level. We are clearly not where we want to be.<\/p>\n
“I’m angry about our performance. It’s not precise enough, it’s not clinical enough, it’s not aggressive enough on the ball, it’s not determined enough. It’s not good enough individually, it’s not good enough as a team.”<\/p>\n

DON’T MISS… <\/strong> Tuchel was dismissed on September 7 in a brutal video call. The announcement of his replacement, Graham Potter, was postponed by two days due to the death of Queen Elizabeth II 24 hours later.\u00a0<\/p>\n But Tuchel\u2019s struggles in the aftermath of such huge spending have since been placed in a far different context. Potter – the most expensive manager in history – was sacked just six months later. Frank Lampard floundered while Mauricio Pochettino has won only one of four top-flight matches.\u00a0<\/p>\n A Premier League table for games played only in 2023 would have Chelsea in 16th, with a measly 24 points from 27 matches. That is despite the spending of the Boehly-led consortium being multiplied.\u00a0<\/p>\n Potter was given a \u00a3300m spend in January, including a then-world record \u00a3108m deal for Enzo Fernandez. Another \u00a3420m was handed to Pochettino in the summer, including breaking their own transfer record by signing \u00a3115m midfielder Moises Caicedo.\u00a0<\/p>\n And so it seems Boehly and his fellow Chelsea owners have not yet learned their lesson from the first few months of their tenure. While Tuchel ended the 2022-23 season lifting the Bundesliga in dramatic style, his former side finished 12th. It will never be known if the he might have turned round Chelsea\u2019s campaign.\u00a0<\/p>\n
