Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel after the game blamed tiredness as the reason his players have been off colour in recent weeks.

According to The Metro, Injuries and a Covid outbreak limited Tuchel’s options during the festive period but Alan Shearer believes the German still had enough at his disposal to be able to comfortably navigate a hectic schedule.

‘I don’t accept it. I’m not having that. I get that it has been a tough time for every football club in the world.

‘They’ve all had very difficult circumstances. But he’s got a bench that’s worth £220million.

‘That performance going forward was not a tired performance. That performance was a team that’s struggling for confidence and I’m not sure that they are all on the same page.

Chelsea have now gone four games without a Premier League victory and trail leaders Manchester City by 12 points despite having played a game more than their title rivals.
