The German coach finally admitted that the blues have lost their way and form and nothing is full of joy at the club anymore.
“(Even) in the reaction of the goal (we scored), you can see that we are tired,” Tuchel told BT Sport. “We are relieved but there is no joy. We look tired, and we are. … You can see we are mentally tired. We need some days off, there’s no other solution. It’s normal that they (Ziyech & Lukaku) talk, it’s normal that they’re not happy.”
The third club in the Premier League currently drew against Brighton yesterday and since the surprising draw, the blues have been in a poorer mood.
In the last 16 matches Chelsea have seemingly only kept a clean sheet in 4 matches in all competitions. This paired with the feud between coach Thomas Tuchel and striker Romelu Lukaku has put the blues in an unsatisfactory mood and playing form.
They prepare to host guests Tottenham Hotspurs on Sunday as they try to claw their way back to a competitive side and fight for the title.
