I wrote last week that Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel is currently Mr Nice Guy but he can be Mr Nasty if he needs to shake up his players. After the match, Tuchel monstered his players for a lack of effort and not playing to their true potential. Tuchel might not have been happy but there were two words buzzing around the Chelsea dressing room after the game: Player Power! Previous managers have suffered from strong Chelsea players commanding the dressing room, players such as John Terry, Didier Drogba and Antonio Rudiger. However, Chelsea have a reputation of managers being sacked by the power of strong players and Tuchel should watch his back.
