‘Everything is missing’ – Thomas Tuchel slams Chelsea’s abysmal Dinamo Zagreb loss… saying ‘EVERYTHING’ went wrong
THOMAS TUCHEL was left seething after Chelsea’s 1-0 defeat to Dinamo Zagreb.
The Blues have now lost three consecutive away games for the first time under Thomas Tuchel, having last suffered such a bad run under Frank Lampard in December 2020.
Chelsea newboy Wesley Fofana was exposed for Zagreb’s winner as the Blues lacked creativity and were wasteful in attack.
Tuchel bemoaned that everything went wrong with his side’s performance but also admitted he was to blame for the defeat.
He said: “It’s underperformance from us and it’s the same story like always.
“We have an okay start, we don’t finish our half chances and we don’t feel it when the game is already there to put to bed in the first 15-20 minutes.

“Then we concede one counter-attack which is far too easy and from there we struggle and lose the next match.
“I’m a part of it. We are clearly not there where we need to be and where we can be so it’s on me, it’s on us, we need to find solutions.
“At the moment everything is missing. I need to find a solution for the next match.”
But Tuchel also refused to be drawn on individual performances when asked what he made of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s disappointing debut.
