‘We Are Tired’, Tuchel Speaks On Chelsea’s Poor Form

Chelsea’s manager Thomas Tuchel has admitted that the Blues are tired following their 1-1 draw with Brighton and Hove Albion

The Blues were held to a 1-1 draw at Brighton and Hove Albion on Tuesday, extending their winless streak in the Premier League to four matches, their worst such run under Tuchel. 

Chelsea have won just one of their past seven top-flight matches and sit 12 points adrift of leaders Manchester City, who have a game in hand. 

The meeting with Brighton was Chelsea’s 15th game in all competitions since the start of December and Tuchel believes the only way they can get back on track for a prolonged period is through rest. 

“We look tired. And we are. It’s like this,” Tuchel told BT Sport after Adam Webster’s header cancelled out Hakim Ziyech’s opener. 

“We knew they were well prepared, they had more time to prepare and you saw at the end the stadium celebrates like a victory. That’s what you face. 

“We need our full strength to overcome these obstacles. In these moments there’s no blame for the team. We tried everything. We are mentally and physically tired. We need some days off, there’s no other solution. 

“We have two days off then we have two days to prepare the match against Tottenham. There’s no other solution.” 

Tuchel was critical of Ziyech after the 1-0 loss to City
