I supported Tuchel so far, but I have to admit I am fed up.
There is no way you watched the game, up to the 78th minute, and thought we would be worse off if we used our bench. The goals we scored were individual talent, not from chaining of passes. The passing was horrendous. For the first 70 or so minutes we camped in our own half against Galatasaray. The only reason we turned it around was because Galatasaray has older players that ran out of gas.
The way Tuchel treats his bench is beyond wasteful. He enjoys his super subs and once he finds them he sticks with them.
God our passing is so bad. There are flashes of individual brilliance, but long stretches of just outright garbage passing. Most baffling is the lack of improvement in our movement and passing. A couple of months to practice and play together and no improvement.
