He has no chances on my FA Cup finals squad - Tuchel warns Chelsea squad NOBODY is guaranteed an FA Cup final spot as Blues boss hits reset button after form blip.

-


 THOMAS TUCHEL revealed Chelsea have started from scratch this week in a bid to find some form ahead of the FA Cup final.


The Blues have gone from being the model of consistency to a Jekyll-and-Hyde side in the last month.

Four defeats in their last nine games saw them crash out of the Champions League and suddenly put their place in the top four under threat.


Tuchel has opted to wipe the slate clean in the last six days following Sunday’s damaging defeat at Everton, upping the intensity across three training sessions.


He hopes it will do the trick at home to Wolves today to boost their Champions League qualification hopes — and give confidence for next weekend’s Cup final against Liverpool.


Asked if this week has been like a reset for his squad, the German replied: “Yes, a little bit.

“We cannot forget what a player did up until here and what role he played. But it is a little bit like that, and it was the time to do it.


“Let’s start from scratch and see who’s ready for Saturday, who takes care in three training sessions, so everybody has the feeling that he is ready.”


Tuchel said the performances of his stars against Wolves and Leeds away on Wednesday will be a major factor in who he selects to start the Cup final.


Being able to have a hat-trick of training sessions in a week during the season is a rare luxury for Chelsea’s squad, who have played a massive 58 matches this term.

The Belgian completed a club record £97.5m return to the Blues in the summer but has endured a season of mixed fortunes so far. Despite a promising start under Thomas Tuchel he’s only bagged five league goals and also had to settle for a spell on the sidelines after voicing his frustrations in an interview. Tuchel has plenty of attacking options at his disposal that has also seen Kai Havertz lead the line on occasions – a player former Blues defender Johnson highly rates.

  Chelsea analysis after the 1-1 draw against Manchester United at Old Trafford in the Premier League End of story. None of the edging 55% towards James being a wing-back and 45% towards being part of Chelsea's back three. He is a wing-back. If his six goals and seven assists over the course of the season were not telling enough of his contributions from the right flank, then his match-leading 112 touches perhaps should be. The former Wigan loanee put in tantalising deliveries again and again, menacingly across the six-yard line, and was rampant up and down the right side. Thomas Tuchel has been able to call upon fine replacements in the form of Cesar Azpilicueta and Ruben Loftus-Cheek but the difference his first choice selection makes is telling. Of course, James is capable of playing on the right side of a back three but if that is seen as necessary then it `becomes necessary to find a player who could bring the qualities James does to that role - so the 22-year-old can thrive o...
