Thomas Tuchel bemoans 'bad luck' as he defends attacking methods

"Sure, there is something going wrong in training," Thomas Tuchel sarcastically suggested when asked if the Burnley draw highlighted concerns over Chelsea's attacking play.

"We will now change everything. It is unacceptable the points we have, the way we play – it cannot stay like this.

"We have to turn things around and question everything. This is what we will do for the next two weeks.

"No, seriously, it is the same squad that scored seven and four. We had so many chances and expected goals, touches in the box that we could have won easily.

"Normally you would say we lost control after 70 minutes and lost control and the pressure mounted, but it was not like this – it was simply bad luck, a lack of precision, but I don’t see a general thing here."

Chelsea have only failed to score in two games this season despite a lengthy injury absence of Romelu Lukaku who was supposed to become the main goal-getter at Stamford Bridge.

Still, the Blues should've done better against Burnley and taken a chance to increase their lead in the Premier League up to five points - but they only scored once to get a draw against Sean Dyche's side.
