Premier League game number two awaits this weekend and following Chelsea's opening day win over Everton. Jorginho's penalty separated the sides but the Blues appeared to lack sharpness in their first match back and will be looking to step things up against Tottenham.
Thomas Tuchel admitted as much in his press conference at Goodison Park. He said: "In general, it was maybe not the most exciting Premier League game in the history of the Premier League. Seven minutes of extra time in the first half, and ten minutes in the second half tell the story. There were a lot of interruptions, no team could find a rhythm.
"Everton defended deep in the first half and we struggled with switching the play, we struggled to feel the moments to change speed. It seemed like we did not want to do a decisive mistake so we did not take the risk that is needed in the final 25 metres to open a space up. But in general, it was ok. Second half we did not have enough movement on the ball and that created a lot of ball losses from which we suffered and the game was stuck in between the halves. It wasn't in our half or their half. So in the first away match, you hang in and do what you need to keep a clean sheet and get the win."
