Looking at some of Tuchels comments this weeks I must say he's really saying the the right things in terms of the players and getting the best out of them.
Firstly he commented on Kante being a double six to use his energy, range and ability to recover the ball. I think we can all agree we've seen the best of Kante in this role at Leicester and for us in the conte team. I for one would love to see him back to his best hunting down the opposition all over the pitch.
On werner Tuchel said. "He is super fast, likes to play very high up on the last line. A little bit more to the left, to receive the ball in the open space. Can we develop movements and patterns of behaviour to use his quality in narrow spaces? I am absolutely convinced, and that is my job [to do that].
Tactically he's supposed to be very astute, so after a week with the lads hopefully we can expect something different against Burnley than the pass pass pass pass pass game we had against wolves. With only 24 hours in charge I'll give him the benefit of the doubt but I really don't fancy a return to sarri ball. Really interested to see how we set up on Sunday, roll on the game.
Saying the right things

Tuchel is a heavily possessed based coach, therefore a lot of passing is a given. Embrace it.
What we are likely to see over the next upcoming fixtures is more inventive, incisive and purpose with the passes.
Probing passes through the lines, smart combination play and blindside movement (from deep) to unbalance and catch opposition unawares on a regular basis is a must.
Of course some high-quality individualism from skillful players will also help.

These next few matches against what will turn out to be low-block compact sides should hold team in good stead ahead of our CL tie against Atletico.

I've not ever heard a manager say the wrong things before his first match at a new club. They all say the right things, even Mourinho, before they start. When the going gets tough is when they start showing their true self.

I must admit I found it incredibly refreshing hearing him speak about the squad and highlight each players strengths. Even players like Gilmour who he is not familiar with. No worries about the academy players falling out of favour with how he sees the game.
Tuchel’s biggest challenge is going to be is finding a consistent XI or XIs out of this squad. We have a squad big enough
