'Tuchel is the reason Chelsea are not fighting relegation'

A former Chelsea star claims that Thomas Tuchel is the only reason the Blues are not in a relegation battle after suffering a fifth straight loss under Frank Lampard.

The Blues recorded fifth straight under Lampard after going down 2-0 to Brentford at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday night.

The London outfit outfit currently sit in 11th position and still have to face Arsenal, Manchester City, Manchester United and Newcastle in the coming weeks.

Former Blues defender Jason Cundy does not have any hope that the club will secure another win this campaign.

"I'm actually numb to it now. I'm numb to what's going on at Stamford Bridge. There's so much wrong at Chelsea Football Club from top to bottom.

"I went there tonight thinking that a draw is the best we could get. Brentford. We're in disarray. Forget the squad of players, the club is in disarray. There's no getting away from it.

"I don't think we'll pick up another point this season. The best thing that'll happen at the end of the season is that it ends and we reset and start again, as long as we don't get relegated.

"We've got 39 points, but I don't think we'll get another point. Honestly, I don't.

"Let's say there were 12 games left, we would be in a relegation fight. I'm not saying that lightly.

"Thomas Tuchel is the only reason we are OK. If he didn't get ten points, we would be right in it.

"It's hard for me to say it, but as a football club, just end the season. Get it done, get it over and put us out of our misery. It's been a disaster."
