Thomas Tuchel has been handed a timely reminder ahead of the summer transfer window following Chelsea's defeat to Everton at the weekend. The Blues were sent back to west London with their tail between their legs after Richarlison pounced on a mistake from Cesar Azpilicueta.
The Spain international's lapse of concentration cost the Blues crucial leverage in the race for top-four, while also handing Frank Lampard's side a major boost in the Toffees' brawl for survival. The 30-year-old's mistake was the fourteenth time Chelsea have made an error which has led to a goal since the start of Premier League season - only Everton, ironically, have made more (15).
Tuchel's side have suffered from various troubles over the last two months, with excellent performances against Real Madrid and Southampton overshadowed by disappointing defeats to Brentford, Arsenal, and now Everton. With mistakes leading to goals becoming a common theme for Chelsea, the German admitted that it's a problem in the race for Champions League qualification.
