Tuchel's reply when told he might not be coach against Leeds next weekend after his red card.
"I cannot coach but the referee can whistle the next game?"

Brilliant from Tuchel: "My last information is we have a plane [for Lille] and we can go by plane and come back by plane.
"If not we go by train, if not by bus, if not I will drive a seven-seater."

Thomas Tuchel was asked if he thought Romelu Lukaku could score more goals than Cristiano Ronaldo this season.
His reply: "I couldn't care less as long as Lukaku scores for us."
Cesar Azpilicueta is the only man to have won the Premier League, Champions League, Europa League, Super Cup, FA Cup and League Cup as a Chelsea player.
Unless I'm mistaken, Billy Gilmour was named man of the match after his FA Cup debut, Premier League debut, first Champions League start and now his first Scotland start.
Chelsea played Brighton in a behind-closed-doors friendly today. Those who started in the

Chelsea won the game 2-1. Carney Chukwuemeka got both goals.

Some have (at times) doubted whether Cesar Azpilicueta was the right man to captain Chelsea, largely because he does it differently to John Terry.
But this is one of the truest examples of leadership. He took so much pressure off Havertz in a huge moment.
N’Golo Kante, after producing a man-of-the-man performance to help Chelsea reach the Champions League final, leaves Stamford Bridge in a Mini.
What. A. Guy.
Benoit Badiashile on Thiago Silva's influence: "All the team helped me, above all Thiago.
"He gave me plenty of advice, both before the match and on the pitch as well. It made it easier for me to perform."
Kai Havertz says he would pay to help Chelsea travel to away games.
"I would pay it, it's not a problem. That isn't a big deal. For us to come to the games is the most important thing."

Chelsea paying £60m+ to sign Marc Cucurella is excessive.
Chelsea paying £60m+ to sign Marc Cucurella AND ensure Levi Colwill doesn’t depart permanently is very much not.
Anthony Taylor has now sent off three Chelsea players in his career.
Victor Moses in the 2017 FA Cup final.
Mateo Kovacic in the 2020 FA Cup final.
And Reece James today at Anfield.
Tuchel on Boris Johnson's spokesperson telling Chelsea fans to stop Abramovich chants: "I don't know if these are the most important subjects to talk about in parliament.
"If they are being discussed in parliament, maybe we need to worry about the priorities of discussion."
Tuchel on replacing Rudiger: "It will be challenging but like always, no matter how much I love Toni, there will be Chelsea without Toni and we will find solutions."

Chelsea are without Andreas Christensen, Ben Chilwell, Callum Hudson-Odoi, Jorginho, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Timo Werner, Kai Havertz and Romelu Lukaku against Wolves
Thomas Tuchel: "We don't know what would've happened if we left Edou on the pitch. No blame on Kepa. Blame on me as I'm the guy who takes the decisions.
"Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't. This is life as a football coach."

If Chelsea defeat Newcastle tomorrow they'll have moved above Liverpool, Spurs, West Ham, Everton, and Aston Villa in the Premier League table in just 18 days.
Appreciate there will be some missing the usual signing announcement videos, but the pictures Chelsea have got with Sterling and Koulibaly are really unique, eye-catching, and capture the U.S tour well.

Cesar Azpilicueta has won seven trophies at Chelsea playing in three positions
2012/13 - Europa League - RB
2014/15 - Premier League - LB
2014/15 - League Cup - LB
2016/17 - Premier League - RCB
2017/18 - FA Cup - RCB
2018/19 - Europa League - RB
2020/21 - Champions League - RCB
Told Wesley Fofana is doing his bit internally – as well as externally, which you may have noticed – to put pressure on Leicester amid Chelsea's interest.
He's keen on a move to Stamford Bridge but Leicester adamant they do not want to sell this summer. Something's got to give.
Before the 19/20 season, nobody wanted Tammy Abraham to take the ‘cursed’ No.9 shirt at Chelsea.
Higuain struggled wearing it. Morata too. So did Falcao, Torres, Kezman and others.
Abraham took it anyway and scored 30 times in two seasons despite not being a guaranteed starter
Things progressing well on Marc Cucurella to Chelsea. Much like with the Kalidou Koulibaly transfer, the club want deal wrapped swiftly (can’t imagine why).
Tuchel on defeat to Man City in September: "My approach was the wrong approach, it made us too passive and defensive. It wasn't meant like this but it turned out like this. So lesson learned."
Tuchel: "I saw a team in Arsenal who are mentally committed to a level of exhaustion that we could not match physically and mentally because we have a lot of players who are thinking about leaving and looking at their options."

Understand several members of the Chelsea first team were shocked by Andreas Christensen withdrawing from the squad for the
#FACupFinal
, especially as he was expected to start.
Also, huge credit should go to Trevoh Chalobah. Wouldn’t have been easy to step in late.

Understand Paulo Ferreira has left his role as loan player technical coach at Chelsea and is heading back to his native Portugal.
He’s been part of the club for the best part of two decades having been signed by Jose Mourinho in 2004 from Porto. A Chelsea legend.
Tuchel: "I don't take decisions in my office. I have players to listen to and hear their opinions about what they think and I make my decisions once I hear them out.
"It's their club and their team. It's not a personal thing for me."

Tuchel on Ziyech: "It was one of his best matches today because he was very reliable. To be fair, it was maybe his best position to be wide on the right wing."
Tuchel on Mike Dean admitting his mistake: "If the mistake is that big and that obvious, what is the point of not admitting when the whole world sees it."

Thomas Tuchel: "In Premier League, it will stay super hard to score so we are happy with three goals. And we did it without a penalty from Jorginho which is a good step for us!"
Jorginho speaking to
@SkySport
: "Chelsea's biggest opponent is Chelsea.
"If we don't fight, if we don't do better last year, if we don't improve, if we are not humble to recognize where we went wrong and do better, what are we talking about?"
