Reece James says Chelsea are working under Tuchel and says Timo's time is coming

-

One the players who was involved in Chelsea 3-0 thrashing at the hands of Sheffield United the last time the two teams met at Bramall Lane in the league is Reece James who was not taking anything for granted when Chelsea faced Sheffield United on a cold Sunday evening in South Yorkshire. This time however, Chelsea returned back to London with the desired result and three points to move up to fifth in the premier league table.

In the wake of Sunday's victory James spoke about the reaction from the team towards conceding an equaliser in the second half, about the influence of Timo Werner as well as Jorginho's penalty, which proved to be the second winning penalty in the space of four days.  His penalty run-up was that of his previous technique as supposed to the penalty taken against Tottenham, which having missed three penalties earlier this season was taken in a more different and conventional style. 

On Jorginho's penalty James said  'He works really hard and practices a lot and this is showing clearly in games before he moved onto talking about the impact of Timo Werner in the game. 

'Timo's time is coming. He is working extremely hard and was involved in both our goals so it is not like he isn't contributing. Two contributions from him helped us get the win.

'In football you often see mistakes and strange things happen but we reacted well to Sheffield United's equaliser and managed to win a penalty. 

'We knew that it would be a tough game coming to Sheffield United. Last year they were a strong team and we knew that we had to put a 100 percent effort in if we wanted to win the game.'

James concluded by summing up a few words on head coach Thomas Tuchel.

'From the very first minute he came in he made his style of play very evident and clear and I think we as a team have taken that on board extremely well and you can see that we are playing better as a team as well.'

Mason Mount and Thomas Tuchel following Chelsea's 0-0 draw with Wolves  There will have been eyebrows raised when Thomas Tuchel did not select Mason Mount in his first starting line-up however the new boss is is already seeing the enormous ability and passion that the midfielder possesses.  Tuchel painfully pointed that his team selection against Wolves may well have been the most unfair in his reign at Chelsea when you consider he only had one training session which to work with his new players.  The decision made to omit Mount , a regular starter in all but two league games up to that point and most noticeably Chelsea's main in form player was always likely to be met with raised eyebrows, however, Tuchel simply insisted that he simply chose to play experience during a difficult time. He is however, now excited to help the 22 year old midfielder flourish.  At today's press conference the German said 'I currently like what I am seeing from Mason so far, he has an amazin

There appeared to be some mixed news relating to injuries ahead of our trip to Southampton on Saturday lunchtime, with Thiago set to be ruled out of the game at St Mary's and Christian Pulisic unlikely to travel, even though others who were a doubt were expected to be available. In his pre-press match conference Thomas Tuchel reported from Cobham  through a video link, speaking before the final training session before Chelsea headed to Southampton this afternoon.  Whilst this meant that Tuchel could not be a 100 percent certain about the condition of all of his players ahead of Saturday's game, he was able to reveal that Thiago Silva would not be involved at St Mary's. Tuchel stated 'Thiago will be out of the game as he is not already.'

The trio to miss out are Marcos Alonso, Jorginho and Timo Werner who all drop to the bench.
