    Watch Tuchel speaking after the game on the BBC website, he feels Chelsea were obviously the better team despite the defeat

    Manager Tuchel, who is already facing a touchline ban after the Spurs match, could not contain his frustration with both his team and Marsch at times on the touchline.
    They can't take defeat with grace, these Germans.

    He also said when you gift the opposition two goals, the own goal and free kick, the guys on drugs

    Battery died in the bar.

    Ratings.

    Meslier - 9. Went long when he had to, kept it short when he had time. Ptetty much unbeatable today regardless if the flag was up or not.

    Kristensen - 7. Improvement. Still a bit isolated and he has to be careful with players running behind him in the inside channel but got forward well. Has a good relationship with Aaronson.

    Llorente - 9. Solid. Worked well with Koch to push up and catch Chelsea offside regularly.

    Koch - 9. See above. Impressive aerial dominance.

    Struijk - 9. Very calm and composed. Settled in at left back now and although lack of pace is a concern it hasn't been an issue yet.

    Roca - 7. Kept things ticking over nicely alongside Adams. Sits in to allow the full backs to bomb on. Important cog.

    Adams - 9. A real live wire. Tackles everything and is everywhere. Great signing.

    Aaronson - 8. Busy busy busy. Duracell bunny but has the quality to make things happen. Great tenacity for the goal.

    Harrison - 9. Real handful throughout. Started the season on fire. Man of the match.

    James - 7. Excellent first showing. Deserves a run out wide after sacrificing his first season up front.

    Rodrigo - 9. Like a new player. Marsch has got him going and he looks a great player. Long may it continue.

    Subs.

    Forshaw - 7. Couple of crunches and seamlessly took over from Roca without disturbing the balance.

    Sinisterra - 7. Looked busy and showed a good turn of pace. More to come from this lad as he gets to grips with the PL.

    Gelhardt - 7. Got yer man sent off.

    Greenwood - 6. Refreshed the midfield with quiet authority.

    Klich - 7. Old man finished the job.

    Tuchel “we were the better team”
    Dream on baby
    Some of these so called managers really do talk crap, just because he’s worried about being fired
    I think I read somewhere that he was blaming buses, what a ****er
