Not exactly controversial stuff. It would be much more worrying if they said nothing, rather than trying to work on it.

Particularly when earlier on in the game , Azpillicueta pumped a ball on the floor , Ziyech dummied it for Lukaku and he wasn't actually paying attention and the chance was lost , around 10 minutes in

Just saw that one - completely lack of concentration and understanding of the play, at 10:16 here:

(ps it was Silva's pump/pass, not Azpi)

He's not paying attention because he's got no real interest in his job .

 Maybe the truth is that the strength is an illusion, that Tuchel doesn't really trust many of the bit part players. Certainly that would explain why he didn't sub his "exhausted" players earlier on Tueday night.

I wonder whether or not the issues in the changing room are between the players themselves rather than them vs the manager. Is it a coincidence that this all seemed to come to a head around the time Lukaku gave his interview to Sky Italia at the beginning of December?

I think you have hit the nail on the head,it certainly makes sense to me, and if Ziyech is such a sensitive flower that can't take criticism (on or off the field) he can piss right off - it's not as if setting the stage alight on the pitch.

Kovacic is the Swiss Army knife.

And Jorginho is a butter knife that the butter is straight out of the freezer.

I get more disinterested in this league every year, it’s a farce, I rarely watch anything other than Chelsea. Perhaps a breakaway league wouldn’t be such a bad thing after all. 

The PL is just too big. Too many games for teams like us who compete in all compts. And too many yoyo  clubs.  I 'd lose 4 teams from it and have a one month winter break. End of season one team goes down and another comes up.

You're hired.  I'm in.  

Teams are currently punished for being successful in competitions.

I think it's only Chelsea being punished , everyone we're competing with only has to snap their fingers and they get a weeks rest
