The Debrief: Kante adds the energy but Saints frustrate Tuchel's Blues

21 Feb 2021


We look at some of the pertinent statistics from yesterday's draw with
Southampton, with the point ensuring Chelsea remain unbeaten under Thomas
Tuchel but will be looking to move onto the next game quickly.

The Blues fought back to claim a share of the spoils at St Mary's, with
Mason Mount's penalty cancelling out Saints' opener through Liverpool
loanee Takumi Minamino.


Chelsea, yet again, dominated the possession with a mammoth 71 per cent
compared to Southampton's 29 per cent. However we couldn't turn that
dominance into a win, with a number of chances and half-chances spurned.


== Mount the man on the spot ==


With regular penalty taker Jorginho and stand-in Tammy Abraham both off
the pitch when we were awarded our spot-kick, duties were handed over to
Mount to step forward. The England international made no mistake, calmly
slotting home and sending Alex McCarthy the wrong way.

Mason Mount: Disappointed not to take three points


Mount is now the 25th different player to score a penalty for Chelsea in
the Premier League, with the Blues having had more penalty scorers than
any other team in the competition's history. Not bad!


The midfielder was Chelsea's best player against the Saints, scoring our
only goal and looking a danger throughout.

Mount's impressive stats against Southampton


He showed Jan Bednarek a clean pair of heels with a lovely bit of skill
and showed his importance to this Chelsea display by completing over 76
per cent of his passes.


Mount completed three dribbles during the 90 minutes, with one seeing him
brought down clumsily in the box by Danny Ings for that all-important
spot-kick


== Kante offering the energy ==


Alongside Mount in the Chelsea midfield was the familiar sight of N'Golo
Kante, who returned to the starting line-up for the first time under
Thomas Tuchel in the Premier League.


Our German head coach has spoken in glowing terms of the Frenchman in
recent weeks, admitting he tried to sign Kante during his days in charge
of PSG, and revealing his excitement to work with him at Chelsea.


After easing Kante back into the side with a number of substitute
appearances following a spell out inured, our No.7 was back at the heart
of midfield against the Saints and offered a timely reminder as to what he
can offer.

N'Golo was everywhere!


Kante made a game-high seven tackles, along with five interceptions –
more than anyone else on the pitch – and won three of his aerial duels.


Sat next to Mateo Kovacic as the base of our midfield, Kante completed 80
per cent of his passes and had 105 touches, highlighting just how involved
he was.


== Tuchel remains unbeaten ==


It certainly wasn't a vintage Chelsea performance under Tuchel at
St Mary's, but that's not to say the Blues didn't perform well and,
possibly, deserved to take all three points. However, the point earned on
the South Coast ensures that our German coach remains unbeaten in his
first seven games in charge (six in the Premier League, one in the FA Cup).


Four Premier League victories, plus the FA Cup win at Barnsley, are
sandwiched between a draw in Tuchel's first game in charge against Wolves
and yesterday's stalemate.


After that Wolves goalless draw, Tuchel called on his players to be 'more
deadly' and it wouldn't be a surprise to see the Blues react positively on
Tuesday, when we face Atletico Madrid in Bucharest in the Champions
League. That, however, is a totally different ball game to domestic
competitions.

Thomas Tuchel: We lacked precision in the final third


Still, the German is really making his mark at Stamford Bridge and the
basis comes from making us hard to break down, first and foremost, before
allowing the attacking players to express themselves in the manner that
they do.


Since Tuchel's first game in charge of Chelsea at the end of January, we
have allowed just 1.7 shots on target from our opponents per Premier
League game.

Azpilicueta saw plenty of the ball at St Mary's


In fact, the 10 shots we have faced, which have come from just six league
games, is the lowest ratio of any side in the competition in that
timeframe, making it much more difficult for our opponents to find a way
through.
