Thomas Tuchel has been great with his man management skills of the Chelsea squad, despite suffering lot of injuries to important players so far along the season, he has been able to get his squad to play together as a team and not dependent on the form of a single player.
The Chelsea players were once again impressive in their Champions League round of 16 game against Lille, registering a convincing win to put them in the driving sit ahead of the second game of the round, and also keeping another clean sheets to make them the team with the best defensive record.
Some Chelsea players has been impressively consistent with their performance in the team this season, which has helped Chelsea to remain in the Premier League top four, won the Club World Cup, and getting to this stage of the Champions League.
These kind of players could be considered as the most reliable player for the team so far this season.
1. Thiago Silva
The 37 years old Thiago Silva seems to be getting better by age, as he has shown no sign of weakness or error for the team so far this season.
Thiago Silva has been exceptional brilliant for Chelsea this season, leading their defense from the center of a three man defense, and seem to be the perfect player in that role. He is one of Thomas Tuchel's most trusted players this season.
2. Edouard Mendy
Edouard Mendy has no doubt established himself as one of the best short stopper in the World, with his consistent top display he has shown for Chelsea since he joined the Club.
The last ten months has been arguably the best part of Mendy's career, which saw him won the Champions League, UEFA Super Cup, African Cup Of Nations, Club World Cup, and now in the finals of the Carabao Cup.
Mendy's incredible saves has helped Chelsea kept clean sheets and won games, but he might not have been able to achieve that much clean sheet without Thiago Silva defending in front of him.
3. Antonio Rudiger
Rudiger has been very solid and one of the most consistent top performers in the Chelsea team since the arrival of Thomas Tuchel.
The radical defender has been super reliable in his position, with opposing players hardly going past him in his position.
Which among these three Chelsea players is the most reliable in the team?
