I read a lot against Tuchel but I’m actually pleasantly surprised with him. He became a liability in his late months for PSG so I was concerned.
But he managed to convince Sané to play this left side playmaker role which is fantastic with Kane upfront and Davies pushing the left lane.
Coman on the right is a great asset as he makes so many runs to track back.
I’m a bit disappointed with Musiala but he is still a kid, I guess he played instead of Muller because we lack intensity in midfield. Muller is 34 and coming back from an injury so I’m not that surprised he is not risked.
