Frank Lampard given brutal Thomas Tuchel wake up call as Chelsea relegation theory explained

Frank Lampard has been told to count his lucky stars that Thomas Tuchel won 10 points for Chelsea before he was sacked. The Blues have continued to slip down the Premier League table after Brentford extended the Blues' winless streak to eight games, with Lampard having lost all five of his matches as interim boss.

Chelsea currently sit 11th in the table and just 10 points adrift of the bottom three; had Tuchel not picked up the results he did in the first five games of the season then the west Londoners would be tantalisingly close to the drop. Speaking on talkSPORT, The Sports Bar, Jason Cundy conceded that the Blues could be in a relegation battle.

Cundy said: "I’m actually numb to it now. I’m numb to what’s going on at Stamford Bridge. There’s so much wrong at Chelsea Football Club from top to bottom. I went there tonight thinking that a draw is the best we could get. Brentford! We’re in disarray.
