Tuchel Reacts To Man City Loss

Manchester City recorded their 12th consecutive Premier League win with a 1-0 win over Chelsea at the Etihad Stadium.

Kelvin De Bruyne scored the winning goal with a belter outside the box.

Manchester City dominated possession but Chelsea were resolute before they finally conceded from a moment of brilliance by De Bruyne.

Tuchel has revealed that Chelsea will not give up on the Premier League title race.

"He had a huge chance. He is included on this. We want to serve him, he's part of the team. The performance in the first-half upfront, we can do much better. We had a lot of transition chances."

You need to wait for the moments, the minutes when you are confident and have the legs for it. All the time when we won the challenges we were strong and dangerous. We were more aggressive in counter-attacks."

"We had good moments, moments where we suffered. We could create more chances with better timing, passing, ball control."

"It is not my question to answer. We will never give up. If City keeps winning every game nobody can catch them."

"I think we lost on individual performance and on one situation today. In terms of attitude, commitment, defensive-wise, I am happy. We did not allow too many big chances, kept them to a minimum and we were aware and active with our defending."

"We had big counter chances, big offensive transition chances we wasted. With the same performance we have won games against Man City, and we could draw this game, and, of course, lose this."

Thomas Tuchel on whether #Chelsea should look to the top four race:

"Why should we not look to Liverpool? If you listen carefully to what we said the only thing we look at is us. We play Tuesday. I have no time looking at the table."

Thomas Tuchel on other teams hunting #Chelsea:
"This is part of being a top team. We are being hunted. Do you have any news for me or things we already know?"

"We did not have enough chances for the ball wins and the movements we could've had. We could've had more chances if we played with better timing, better precision. It's simply like this."

"We had eight/ nine transition chances & out of them we did not have a touch in the box. This is what I am critical about. If we miss chances, I am not critical. Everyone wants to score big chances and we do not get a lot of them in big games."

"We could've had many more chances, that is what I am critical about. The decision making and timing wasn't at the level we need."

Thomas Tuchel when asked about his thoughts on Tottenham vs Arsenal being called off:

"It's much better for me not to answer the question. Much, much better."

Manchester City are now odds on favourite to retain the Premier League title after going 13 points clear.
