Saw that last week. This bit stood out:
We expected more, he expected more so it was like, without pointing a finger, but it is difficult also for him and for us to not succeed, to not play at Norwich, to be relegated and then suddenly be a central midfielder for Chelsea and competing for top four and for every title.
That’s a completely fair assessment, but it’s also questionable when you consider Ruben Loftus-Cheek had a rubbish loan spell at Fulham before coming back and playing 40 games last season under the same manager.
I don’t think Tuchel ever saw Gilmour fitting into his team, with lots of rumours that he couldn’t see past his lack of physicality, but he’s unlikely to put it so bluntly in public.
