The first two games of Chelsea's 2022/23 campaign are now officially in the book. A scrappy 1-0 win at Goodison Park against Everton and a pulsating 2-2 draw with Spurs encapsulated the bizarre nature of football.
Although a win on Merseyside can never be turned down, the performance did little to spark confidence that the next weekend's clash against an inspired Spurs would run smoothly. But this past Sunday's display, take away all the touchline and officiating drama, was highly encouraging for Thomas Tuchel and supporters watching on.
Chelsea have shown enough they still have what it takes to compete with high-quality opposition, especially with the tactical acumen of Tuchel.
