Equally it was hard to challenge Tuchel's decision to keep faith with the three who thrived in Chelsea's best attacking display under their new manager at Crystal Palace on Saturday, a 4-1 win. Tammy Abraham has fair grounds to argue that he has not been given enough time Meanwhile Tuchel's trio saw far less of the ball in dangerous territory than they enjoyed at Selhurst Park. That ensured Chelsea maintained an attacking threat while N'Golo Kante and their defensive colleagues sufficiently kept Porto at arm's length, Mehdi Taremi's overhead kick winner being great but far too late.
