So how do you reckon we’re doing? I think although several First halfs were rather bad, we’re stabilising. We get results, which is good. Maybe this is the first step towards playing better as well? With one or two additional players in the winter break, we could reach a better level of Style I guess. What’s your take on Tuchel and the team?

    I think we have generally started matches poorly under Tuchel, but the way we are able to make adjustments in the second half and have consistently made the right subs late in games is really good to see. This should help us later in the Champions League. Under Nagelsmann you could tell 10 minutes into a match if we were going to be competitive that night or not.

    I still don’t think we can properly judge him without getting him a midfielder of his choosing though. If you watch his PSG side in 2020 or Chelsea in 2021 you saw spectacular buildup play from 2 sides that were completely press-resistant. There is a reason he beat Pep 3x in about 6 weeks in 2021 in the league, FA Cup and Champions League.

    If we can find him that midfielder like he had in Marquinhos / Veratti / Kante / Jorginho then we will look like a brand new side come February.

    I think Tuchel has to improve soon. The Squad is still far away from the level it had under JN, especially before the WC, but also after. With the best 9 in the world instead of chupo/Gnabry as 9.

    I don’t care if we play “beautiful football” or not as long as he gets results. Leverkusen are playing amazing football currently and I’m sure that they’ll be completely gassed in the second half of the season with players dropping like flies because this is what has happened to us in the last three years. I think Tuchel has done a great job so far.
