Chelsea release bizarre video of 16 passes following Wolves draw, fans slam 'Cringe Post'

Newly appointed Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel failed to pull off a scintillating display in the opening game of his stint with the Blues following the draw against Wolverhampton Wanderers. Though it is too early to judge the former Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) boss, having been appointed a couple of days prior to the clash. But Chelsea's Twitter handle appeared to find a way to celebrate his debut, which has now undeniably found no suitors among the club's massive fan base.

Chelsea vs Wolves ends in goalless draw 

Despite a thrilling 3-1 win over Luton Town in the fourth round of the FA Cup, Frank Lampard was shown the exit door immediately. Tuchel, who recently faced the sacking from defending Ligue 1 champions PSG was appointed the new manager a day later. 

Tuchel had a couple of days to prepare his side for the clash against Wolves in the Premier League. Chelsea could not bag the most from the game after being held to a goalless draw by Nuno Espírito Santo's men. Chelsea managed five shots on target, as averse to Wolves' none, but could not break the deadlock.

Fans slam video of Chelsea passing vs Wolves 

Chelsea managed 79.08% possession in the game. And the club found this figure intriguing enough to put out a video to celebrate the manager's debut. The Blues' official Twitter handle tweeted a video highlighting a 16-pass move to emphasise Tuchel's possession-based gameplay. 

But the video hasn't been received well by the Stamford Bridge faithful. A fan insisted that maintaining possession for a major part of the game was fine as long as it brought goals for the team. A majority of the fans also mocked the club for just passing the ball and failing to slot the ball past the goalkeeper.

Tuchel's first game brings in some new records 

Tuchel's debut, however, did exhibit some promising signs for the Premier League heavyweights. Chelsea's 79.08% possession and 820 completed passes were the highest tallies for any manager debuting in the Premier League. The draw suggests that Chelsea sit eighth in the Premier League standings with 30 points in 20 games. Tuchel's men next play Burnley on Sunday.
