And Tuchel didn’t hold back in his assessment of their latest failure on the road, saying: “We’re not tough enough to win these away games. It was the same story at Leeds, there we thought the problem was that we didn’t score in the first 25 minutes and we were thrown off balance in two minutes with two goals and we couldn’t find any answers. “Today, we scored, so everything was fine, but a set-piece again, a sloppy defense again, we were off balance and didn’t react to it. We were lucky not to concede a third goal at the start of the second half. We weren’t tough enough as a team to to react or push it over the line for us. “Soft defense. What stops this is the pure mentality, stop it with the defense mentality. There is no superiority for the opponent, you don’t have to give away shots, just toughen up as a team and show a different mentality “I don’t like to talk about it normally because you can’t prove it with data or a tactical position, but that’s the way it is. Both goals are cheap, soft goals and shouldn’t happen if you expect to win a game at night in an away game field”. Image: Adam Armstrong celebrates after putting Southampton 2-1 up against Chelsea
“We have to show a different mentality”
Chelsea have been hampered by injuries and suspensions in August with Ruben Loftus-Cheek the latest victim, forced off at half-time for Mateo Kovacic, who has just returned to training. Reece James was also ill and missed the St Mary’s trip, while Conor Gallagher was suspended after being sent off against Leicester on Saturday. Chelsea’s problems give Tuchel flashbacks to last season. “It reminded me of Juventus last season,” he said. “We played a fantastic game at Stamford Bridge and after that we had Chilly (Ben Chilwell) out for eight months and N’Golo Kante for three months. Image: Romeo Lavia celebrates equalizing against Chelsea “It was the same with Tottenham [earlier this month]. Our main player [Kante] he says bye for at least six weeks and then it’s red cards and Ruben is out injured, and Kovacic is out injured for eight weeks, Reece James is out with illness. He is key player after key player. With the demands and ambitions we have it is like that. “If those key players are missing, you have to show a different mentality. It’s not enough at the moment to win at Leeds and Southampton. We’re humble enough to accept that we can lose football games, but it’s very easy to get us off track. easy to win challenges, very easy to bully. “Yesterday, we had 16 players in training. I can’t dream what will happen if we all come back, I just have what we have on the training ground and that’s not much at the moment.”
Analysis: Tuchel under pressure as Chelsea stutter
Sky Sports’ Adam Bate: Chelsea’s season is going in the other direction at the moment. They were seconds away from following up their opening weekend victory over Everton with a deserved victory against Tottenham, but Harry Kane’s late goal proved to be the prelude to a dramatic change in mood. After the good defeat at Leeds, Thomas Tuchel’s side have now lost their next away game as well with the players facing accusations of being weak from their manager. “Just toughen up as a team and show a different mindset,” he said of the loss at St Mary’s. Easier said than done, it seems. For much of Tuchel’s time at Chelsea, his team looked solid, but no more. No clean sheet in four tells only part of the story. They seem so open right now. The switch to a back four doesn’t seem to suit them and injuries are piling up. This is a short-term issue and the imminent arrival of Wesley Fofana should also help. But with the attack little better – only Raheem Sterling has found the net in the last three games – and a gap to their opponents already opening up, Tuchel is under some pressure now.
