- Welcome back! Today we’re discussing Thomas Tuchel’s NEW 3-5-2 at Chelsea in Tactics Explained! After winning the 20/21 Champions League and picking up the second most wins in the Premier League since his first game in charge, Thomas Tuchel has already been a big success at Chelsea. Much of his early success has been down to his usual 3-4-3 but it’s the emergence of a new tactic in the bigger games that’s got me excited.

Regardless of the shape, Chelsea maintain the same principles in possession. With the ball, they look to dominate possession - recycling the ball between their three centre backs, two midfielders and goalkeeper whilst pushing their wing backs up the pitch. The numbers involved in build up and the individual quality of the players make Chelsea extremely press resistant. This allows them to remain patient as they look to constantly switch the point of attack to create gaps in their opposition’s shape that they can progress through. Once they reach the final third, Chelsea look to create by slipping forwards in behind with through balls or by switching the play out to a wing back who can send in a low cross. But without the ball there is a noticeable change between systems.

In the bigger games, Tuchel has tended to switch to a 3-5-2 with a real emphasis on being defensively solid and playing on the counter attack.This doesn’t mean parking the bus like Jose Mourinho, instead Tuchel adopts more of a gegenpress as Chelsea look to force turnovers through their structure and pressing traps. Without the ball Chelsea’s shape becomes a 5-3-2. One of the main reasons that the Blues are so hard to play against is because of how difficult it is to play through this setup. In their mid or low block, Chelsea use a zonal defensive setup.
A key feature of Tuchel’s setup is their pressing. Chelsea’s 5-3-2 often sees the ball side central midfielder step up to join the front 2 to press, becoming a 5-2-3. What generally happens is Chelsea drop into their 5-3-2 with fairly narrow strikers but a wide midfield 3. This central block of 5 players means teams generally play wide as Chelsea rock over to put pressure on the ball with an outside midfielder. This is such an effective tactic because the opposition are boxed in by the touchline which restricts where the ball can go and usually means that a simple forward pass isn’t on. If Chelsea can recover the ball through an interception they’ve got a huge counter attacking threat that is spearheaded by the two central strikers.

So how do you play against Tuchel’s 3-5-2? I think the key is that you have to be brave and play risky tactics which play into Tuchel’s fast breaks. You either have to play through the centre of Chelsea with one touch play and get at the back 5 with numbers. Alternatively you have to match up your system and deploy a man to man scheme in a 3-4-1-2. In the Champions League final, Manchester City tried to press Chelsea with a back 4 but it cost them the only goal of the game. This isn’t the first time that Chelsea have done this to City either as Ziyech scored the winner in the FA Cup after a very similar switch to a wingback allowed Mount to get Timo Werner in behind City’s defence.
With some of the best players in the world, an incredible amount of squad depth and one of the best tacticians in Thomas Tuchel, Chelsea are going places and I’d argue that the German currently has the best big game setup in the world.
Do you agree? Have you been impressed by Tuchel’s Chelsea? Let me know your thoughts in the comments!

Timo’s English has massively improved!
does he like ketchup on scramble eggs now?
Underrated comment
@@thechuggs8997 no hes like what is dis?
Nah
His finishing hasn’t
Timo Werner explaining Tuchel's tactics is so satisfying
He has to be a Clone!!🤔
Hahaahahha
I was watching him thinking wait a min, let me check the comment section to see if any sees what I see.. Lmao
The UEFA manager of the year in last 3 years, has been won by 3 German managers, it's looklike German managers are dominating in modern football 🤯
Drücken ist Leben 🇩🇪
@@StatmanDave zustimmen
It's been a long time coming as well. In the past 5 years there's been a lot talk about exciting young German managers and they'll only get better.
@@ofentsekgatla3338 well that's true, its first started with Jupp Heynkes and Jurgen Klopp back in 2013 (Bayerb vs BVB), and now Hansi Flick, Jurgen Klopp, Nagglesman, Tuchel, Marco Rose, and so on
Maybe bayerns new manager will win it to make it 4 different 🇩🇪 managers
I'm a man utd supporter and I have to give tuchel a lot of praise. His tactics with chelsea have been 💯
Really hard to see any weaknesses 👏
Why does you being a utd fan have to do anything with this
His tactics are negative. It’s what Chelsea always does. If we did this at MUFC there would be a riot.
@@YvesDarbouze The average utd fan's perception about his tactics as negative is exactly the reason why their team hasn't won anything in 4 years.
The game is evolving everyday..better adapt or you'll be left behind ruthlessly
@@YvesDarbouze nope Chelsea plays way better attacking football than manutd. Man utd plays very defensive football, Chelsea plays very attacking football the only time Chelsea failed to atack was against man City and Chelsea lost 1-0 man city's press made it tough for Chelsea, so in the next game tuchel figured out how to handle high pressing by introducing a very good dribblers in midfield so next time when Chelsea face man City Chelsea will do much better against them.
Never been more proud to be a chelsea supporter!
Proud 🤣🤣
They are playing well and won the champions league last season but the dust is not settle yet
Where have you been all along... this is one of the best analysis I have seen on youtube. Instant subscription
rudiger and thiago silva solid as a rock
Yer Silva has helped rudiger improve a lot
dont forget christensen too his record of late been insane for chelsea and internationally
@@presentmalone4376 yer that is truer been quality and I was so wrong I thought Silva was past it but that experience has been so important
That flat 3 in the middle could be a godsend for Man United's No 6 issues. By being able to defend like that you can alleviate the issues that having both Pogba and Bruno in there present. Shaw would be amazing on the left and with a bit more effort Dalot could really do a job on the right
You arent going to get pogba and bruno playing a disciplined midfield 3 that are good defensively. Tuchel has the perfect team for him as they are players that suit playing robot football.
@@jpeps_8842 You want flair in defense do you? I would rather them be robots when defending and flair out when they win the ball. That is better than teams just running through the both of them and leaving Fred helpless
Great video explained really well 👍
I thought you were Timo Werner for a second when I clicked on the video lol 🤣 great video aswell
tuchel he's one epl trophy and second ucl trophy away from been our greatest ever manager is that good
Wow...great job. Wonderful analysis I have ever seen. Do you analyse matches ?
Champions of Europe we know what we are🔥🔥🔥💙💙💙🇳🇦
Appreciate your work man 👍🏻 i think chelsea is weak in midfield in terms of attacking but RLC rise is so satisfying now we have something different in midfield with attacking mindset
Really caught on to this early Dave fair play
Excellent analysis
Only issue is the amount of attacking talent left on the bench - Werner, Ziyech, Hudson Odoi, Pulisic will miss a lot of games
That attacking talent on the bench do not score goals...potential is not enough at this level.
True, but you don't expect Tuchel to play such formation against teams that are relatively weaker right
Werner super sub... Ziyech CAM sub... Odoi RWB Pulisic hospital... zero issues
Werner is the most useless forward we have. I wish he was sold to some high school soccer team.
And this is totally fine. Those who deserve to start based on their performances will not be denied. Starting football matches is not like candy that you just hand to little children for no reason. Those who deserve to play, would play.
Great stuff
Yes Timo great video
Hate it when people call chelsea defensive when we actually deploy a very high line
U were saying ?
@@jibrilmohamed9422 he was saying "champions of europe we know what we are"
@@p10rambo Spot on!
That boy Dave CLEAN😼😼
👊
Looking forward to see how mangers counter this tactics.
Cityyyy
@LEBOGANG KGAYE chelsea tried to play too off tactic in those games!
Score first
If you really want to find out then you should hope Chelsea meets Ten Hag's Ajax in the Champion's League.
I LOVE TUCHELBALL I fell in love with it in that game against Madrid as a Madrid fan I was left in awe what a beautiful playing style TUCHELBALL is the best form of playing the beautiful game
Good content
There's a forward thinking Italian coach somewhere loving this
I think you were more focused on the defensive aspect
There's more to the attacking side of his tactics
Give the ball to lukaku to hold up..giroud before..long ball for timo..pretty simple
@@Egbert758 you should replace ole at United
Speed kills, sit deep and counter attack. There is always a way.
Can you do one for Tuchel’s suitability to United please?
My dad has stopped watch football for ages he said football nowadays are boring coz player are not playing as a team. But now he hasn't missed any Chelsea match, he never bored to watch them even for multiple times. He said Tuchel keep surprising him and Chelsea player are great catching up Tuchel tactics, the only downside is when some of Chelsea player still have individualism intention on pitch.
Individualism isn't a problem to the club imo, at least not when attacking. Some games we really need that moment of brilliance from a creative player to breakthrough tougher teams. imo this is also the main reason why some fans calling for Hazard to come back to the club, because he is indeed the best creative attacker we got for a long time.
Man I soo wish we had someone like Tuchel in Fc Barcelona, i think he would really work out that formation, or find any other more suitable/better tactic and idea, and not like Koeman's tactic.
Sadly it's impossible to get any good coach with current situation.
Blew my mind this video
Thanks
Nice stuff Dave , tuchel is indeed a genius , if he had done this with psg he'd have won the UCL with them
Doubt the players at PSG would be as coachable and hard working as the Chelsea players. But if they were yeh they’d for sure win it
@@suckyurmum4646 lol yes , you're right there
He did it but the team let him down. Very lazy players except marquinohs
Just wait. Prediction: Pep will break Chelsea down at the weekend by playing with a wide front three to pin back the back five and then overloading a defender’s zone with his duel “free eights.”
@@WilliamSanderson-zh9dq you were right
Nice to see Timo here .
I’m so glad we sacked Lampard for Tuchel, who knows where we would be if we have kept Lampard for longer
Europa league
like arsenal
Don't forget Lampard is still a Legend in Chelsea and one of the best players in football history.
@@aisnorky7951 nothing will change that obviously, but people would have disrespected or even question his position as a chelsea legend if they didnt sack him at the right time. Glad he got the players we needed tho
In my own terms, this is called "possessive counter-attack"
First time watching you Dave and I could've sworn you were a British Timo Werner hahah
conte's serie a wining inter also played the 352 but in a different way simeone inzaghi also plays the same formation in a different way it really shows a similar formation doesnt mean similar style of play infact they are really different conte and tuchel are the most effective but conte played it a little too pragmatic always playing on counters
Chelsea winning the league🙌🙌
This is exactly how Bayern should be playing today… if they get a true cdm… they would be unbeatable in this formation… kimmich rwb… Palhinha cdm.. musiala and sane at midfield and Coman and Kane… using Kane shooting/ elite passing with Coman speed up top
I know you prefer doing English clubs, but could you do a video on Unai Emery's Villareal?
Great Analysis Dave , Man Utd
Job Vacant this Week- End ?
Best You Apply ? LoL 😆🤣
Om impressed of his tacticts im not Chelsea fan but i like Tuchel very much👍🏻
Looks more sophisticated than Conte's system at Chelsea.
Definitely, Contes system was basically sit the cb/dm block and have the other five go win the match
Honestly Tuchels 3 5 2/3 4 3 is much better than Contes for 1 major reason which is mentality. Conte always told the team to be cautious or even defensive. Tuchel has a more Positive attacking attitude which suits Chelsea way more. He's also good with youth whereas Conte didn't care about youth just wanted old men
@@Mg-it9hv In recent games without Lukaku and Werner, position flexibility has been amazing especially with Chilwell playing as a false wingback, Havertz as a false 9.
Could You do a West Ham Utd Tactics Explained that would be great!!
We're so blessed to have him as our manager. He surpasses Jose legacy in my mind
That's a BIG statement...
This guy inherited a team, JM built his own team
@@ordinarysam775 doesn't that make it even more special?
he literally worked with the tools he had ,a team which was written off as one incapable of challenging for the biggest honours, around December previous season
Your mind is mad.....Jose Legacy>>>Tuchel don't even have one yet.....he will be in few years
@@rubenemmanuel3767 I never said Tuchel's legacy is greater
Jose literally turned Chelsea into a European juggernaut
I just pointed out that his point regarding inheriting and building a team is invalid here
I personally think that this type of play is so mechanical...
Of course theres always tactical brillance involved but these days it just feels so...
Easy to read?
Of course it requires the technical talent to break it nonetheless but I think there are "simple" solutions hidden in footballs history, yet these are so simple that people wouldnt actually see them coming if executed well.
I didn't know Timo Werner was a youtuber 😂😂😂
Can u do a video of Joachim Lowe pleaseee
I think we should go for:
Mendy
Azpilicueta Silva Rudiger
James Kante Jorginho Chilwell
Mount Lukaku Werner
For big games and for games against small teams, something like:
Mendy
Chalobah Christensen Rudiger
Hudson Odoi Loftus Cheek Kovacic Alonso
Ziyech Havertz Pulisic
The 2nd option would be stronger because of individual creativity 💙
@@rodriguescapita3 yeah that’s more so for attacking and the other is counter attack football
100% thought that was werner at the start haha
Timo Werner lite explaining how Tuchel's Chelsea play.
It’s looks like Timo Werner knows his tactics and will become World class manger in the future right now he is halftime assisted manger and halftime professional fotboll player
We must go with a 3-4-3 formation against chelsea with back 3 including lindeloff and McFred in the midfield. Ronaldo to play as a false 9 to play between the lines and win Ariel duels. Ask greenwood and Rashford to make runs & exploit space behind the defense. Lindeloff and varane to play long balls behind the defense or target ronaldo.
in ole we trust in big games, united set up to beat bigger teams cuz their quick counterattacking ability and utd have rasford sancho greenword who can do that.
Please explain how Juventus beat this year ? Thanks.
Bro I almost thought you were Timo Werner😅
I wish we also had these high pressing german top managers. Sadly liverpool and chelsea have them and one of them is with bayern. These guys are genius and have the best system that makes teams play like a unit. Even normal players play like stars in their system. We are way behind tactically with ole. Ole reminds me of lampard who had so many good players signed for him yet the performances never changed but tuchel changed everything with the same players and now they are favourites to win the title this year. Conte is good but he is another mourinho who is full of problems. Zidane is good but don't think he can do anything special without superstars. Sadly there are not many top managers available. Our rivals have the best managers in the world. Klopp tuchel and pep.
Is Lowe want of them?
Ralph Hasenhüttl is good enough to replace Ole. He is tactical enough to bring the best out of what Manchester United has
@@michaelgitau8120 2 9-0 defeat tho
@@kanyeeast9791 he played against Rashford, Bruno, Greenwood and an in form Martial
Even as a rival fan I won't lie, Man Utd squad looks really amazing, imagine a back 3 of Lindelof, Maguire and Varane, unleashing Shaw as a wingback... Probably Mctominay in middle, with proper man management, Man Utd will absolutely difficult to beat.
But then I love to see this way 😁
actually i first time watching Dave's video..i thought Timo Werner are doing 2 jobs. Playing and analyzing..
Top Top manager 💙Thomas tuchel ⚽master tactician 💙
How to beat chelsea, sit deep and hit them on the transition, while exploiting the space behind the wingbacks, the way to start to do this is don’t focus on rudiger
If team is able to do , tuchel won’t put azplicueta on RCB ., remember man city final ., Reece James played on rcb and azpi on Right wing
Nice ideas 👍
You can't do this now as Chelsea acquired arguably the best holding back to defense striker in the world in big Rom. They can use him as a focal point and channel their attacks through him to then paly either advancing wing back thereby nullifying the sit back tactic. Chelsea are a huge threat this year as the game against my team Liverpool showed that other than player discipline I don't see a weakness in that team.
Play*
@@BlatantPlagiarism every team has a weakness, when rudiger advance into midfield, he job to draw a marker to allow his more creative teammates get on the ball, where if rudiger had time on the ball, he can’t do much, the plan is to sit on the pivots and follow the man dropping into the half spaces, this would be a start to dismantle Chelsea, look at the west brom game, 5-2 and see what they did to beat Chelsea
I completely agree with the tactics said. However chelsea manages to keep extra clean sheets and concede less cause other teams open up cause its more of a defensive play. When you take Liverpool and City there's a dominance in all areas. Chelsea sits back more often and the play opens for them. I'm not a massive fan of having almost 6-7 defenders at the back
Yeah right 6 or 7 defenders with the second most goals scored in the league...Chelsea are NOT a defensive team, they have more of the ball in 80% of matches they play...I find it laughable that united, Liverpool and city fans can go to ridiculous lengths to discredit Thomas Tuchel's genius.....just wait, he'll win the league before your very eyes
can you do a video if erik ten hag becomes manchester united new manager
Is that statman dave or timo werner?
Its time to make a video of conte and zidane set up at united
Statman Dave looks like Timo Werner
Lol
Have Man City find the key to unlock us and will Chelsea overcome them next game? Since defeat V City we are not near where we were b4 that game...
What’s the difference between Conte and Tuchel’s back 3 ?
Conte's more direct while Tuchel plays Gegen-Press N Possession alongside Conte Football. Difference between Prem League Winner and Europe Winner.
I thought it was Timo as TH-camr hha
Best manager in football
Statman dave can u please explain united's style of play ? 😭
😅 United just vibes
I thought Timo Werner was presenting for a second
A high-press attacking 4-2-3-1(4-1-1-3-1) could work against Chelsea. Basically a system similar to Hansi Flick's system a Bayern.
With the way Chelsea defend, it’ll actually backfire.
@@sandeeps9602 It could backfire but man utd were actually really close to succeeding with this system.
It doesn't work if either Reece James or Chilly gets injured
You should do a video on how to beat Thomas tuchel😉
Coming in November 👀
Football made simple already did that a few days ago, you should go check their channel out.
@@cerealously9407 Already did 😉
nice try arteta
You look like Timo Werner😂
Kai havertz to Munich ❤️❤️
Safe to say that these tactics are catching up with him
So, 7 in the back & 8 in the back eh
Just kidding. Good video & a great coach
Finaly a video that is not about Manchester utd
@SMGComps - Football Edits i wasn’t judging him
How this Chelsea compare with 2008 Man utd side?
Dave looks like Timo
Mate,i thought you're timo werner
We know who we are!
!!!!CHAMPIONS OF EUROPE!!!!
We know who we are!
It's Geno Werner, Timo's older brother🧐
Do you feel Tutchel`s counter attack system is better than Mourinho`s? Do you think Tuchel`s chelsea side that won the champs league was better than Jose`s sides that won the champs league? Do you think Jose`s tactics are too negative?
Defo Tuchel’s counter Mark
@@StatmanDave DELUDED...
Why do you slyly look like Timo Werner 😂
I think the tuchels new formation is a 3412 not a 3 5 2 ...
Timo's brother...
So you cant stop them
Mourinhos Roma next?
😝😝😝
i hate that this chelsea is very hard to break. i mean, teams that scored a goal against their side it was because of some CBs weren't on that good day ya' know, and its not every game that chelsea suffers a goal
So basically, I need the best players in the league to make this formation work?
You look like Timo Werner dude...
Could you please explain Ole's tactics and strategies at MU?
😂😂😂
Chelsea will probably struggle in the PL. Such tactics aren't meant for hugely competitive leagues.
Should psg didn't sack him, the team with this formation would have played better with mbappe and neymar as their main strikers and messi as their engine.
So Dave can figure this out but not Guardiola? Lol
This aged well ! Modern football fans ...SMH
still think chelsea should get koulibaly
Yes😁😁
