Palpable Discord - The Chelsea podcast

Review of the game and a run down of our early impressions on Thomas Tuchel. 

Jack Rathborn, Will Dubey and Grant James are back to pick apart Chelsea's decision to sack Frank Lampard halfway through the season and replace him with Thomas Tuchel. The trio looks at the coach's mistakes, the best moments of his reign and his legacy. Questions are asked of the size and balance of the squad built by the board and whether a mutiny was always likely. The possible tactics that Tuchel will implement are also debated - could Kai Havertz be set for a false nine role? Will Rudiger, Jorginho and Christensen be back in the starting XI going forward?

After a fourth defeat in six Premier League matches for Frank Lampard and Chelsea, is time running out for the coach? Jack Rathborn, Will Dubey and Grant James sit down straight after the 3-1 defeat to Man City to voice their exasperation with the performance and some key decisions made by Lampard. The coach had a full week to prepare to face Pep Guardiola but a 6-0 loss would not have been unfair on a team who spent more than 200 million in the offseason. What is going wrong?
