Former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Jamie O'Hara has called out Thomas Tuchel for the excuses he made following Chelsea's 3-0 loss to Leeds United. The Blues boss said that the cause for defeat at Elland Road stemmed from the club's mode of travel to Yorkshire from west London.
Tuchel and his coaching staff were left no choice but to take a coach to Leeds, while the players took a plane. And, speaking to the press after the game, the 48-year-old insisted that his team were the better side but claimed that travel played a factor into their Chelsea's troubles.
"Everything that can go wrong, did go wrong," Tuchel said. "It started yesterday. We had no plane to arrive so we came on the bus. The players could fly but for the coaching staff it was a long ride on the bus.
