"Honestly, I would never normally say it, but we have a 100 per cent penalty against Christian Pulisic and we have a 50-50 challenge from Mason Mount right before the equaliser when the ball is going into the net,"
"Why does the referee even need to whistle before the ball is over the line? We have VAR to check. Why can we not wait and then check it, and then if he decides it's a foul, decide it then?"
"Is he so sure? Or does he want to keep the tension up?"
"And the penalty is a joke. It's honestly a joke from VAR not to interfere."
"We knew before that this was going to be a tough match against a strong side,"
"They come well prepared. It's always like this. I have not seen one team play a nice match against them, so it was clear we would struggle."
"We simply have way too many players of whom we don't know what we can demand. They come from long injuries, they come from Covid. I simply don't know what they are capable of doing.
"We started very, very well, until the injury for Reece James, which was a huge blow. Then we lose Andreas Christensen, who was until then again one of the top players on the pitch."
"At some point, it's too much. That's why I can understand that you struggle if you play against a Brighton side with nothing to lose and playing with confidence."
"We have seven Covid cases, we have four or five key players out for six or more weeks,"
"Everyone else who has a full squad, and everybody in training every day, has the full power to come through this league."
"We would be stupid to think we can do it out of Covid and injuries and just play, and everybody would be stupid to do it without 23 fit players."
"I competed very hard for the win at Brighton at home. I don't know what I can expect from my players in terms of physicality, intensity or minutes. Nobody knows any more because we have never done something like this. We play trial and error and see what we can do."
"I will protect my team. We can play better but we need the full squad over weeks and weeks."
I think Tuchel is right about Var decisions. Honestly, teams should be given at least one chance to ask the referee to review a contentious issue. Like how they do it in cricket with the third umpire.
