"After so many wins and so many good results, I will now refuse to make a drama out of it. Why should we?" Thomas Tuchel was his usually measured self after watching his team lose 4-1 to Brentford on Saturday. It was a result few saw coming and rocked a recently confident Chelsea who was expected to claim maximum points.
"Brentford made a lot of the ten minutes we gave them. After the third goal, we had a disallowed goal, a pressing situation against the goalkeeper, and another big chance from Kai Havertz. We missed all three of them and there was a feeling that it wasn't our day. So it's a mixture of everything."
The post-mortem of the afternoon has led to fingers being pointed in many different directions, but the defiance from some Chelsea fans proves that the gloom of this defeat will not last long.
