Good news as Thomas Tuchel fixed one major Frank Lampard problem at Chelsea to earn title advantage
Fourteen matches into the Premier League season and it is clear that Thomas Tuchel’s Chelsea are in a battle for their first title since the 2016/17 campaign. infoguidenigeria
The West London giants currently sit top of the table under the German and one point clear of nearest challengers Manchester City following their slender victory against Watford on Wednesday evening.
It, of course, remains to be seen whether Chelsea will be able to continue that push, although something that may help them in their cause is the improved discipline that they have displayed since Tuchel took the reins from Frank Lampard in January 2021.
So far during the tenure of the German, the Blues have been awarded 40 yellow cards across the 33 Premier League games that Tuchel has been in charge of.

Averaged out per game, this works out as approximately 1.21 yellow cards per match.
This is a marked improvement than Chelsea displayed under Lampard, having been booked on average 1.56 times per game – a considerable rise. jamb result
Indeed, the Blues are currently one of the best-behaved sides in the Premier League, with only Liverpool and West Ham United having been awarded fewer than Chelsea’s 18 yellow cards this term.
That improvement under Tuchel will certainly help the Blues in their title challenge as it reduces the risk of any suspensions during what is set to be an extremely busy and hectic festive period.
Chelsea’s Premier League rivals have already been bearing the brunt of suspensions, with ten players in the division having already exceeded the five yellow card limit so far this term.
The recent report by football.london has it that during Lampard’s tenure at Stamford Bridge, the Blues were awarded just one red card. However, three players have already been handed their marching orders in the Premier League since Tuchel’s arrival.
This then is certainly an aspect that the Blues need to work on ahead of a potential title tilt despite the German having already rectified what was a major problem under Lampard.
