Boring, boring, Chelsea.
That was what some Blues fans took away when watching their side at periods under Thomas Tuchel. It was praise, and it emanated memories of Jose Mourinho's brilliant mid-2000s team that were the masters of 1-0 and 2-0 wins. Boring, boring, Chelsea.
Tuchel had the same effect in his early Chelsea time, playing 12-rounds of gloriously disciplined and often entertaining boxing on the football pitch. Jorginho penalties and evergreen Thiago Silva masterclasses were always good enough, even if the attack wasn't.
