‘No one points fingers at him, but he was not happy’- Tuchel reveals Chelsea player was angry after missing a ‘clear chance’ against Burnley
Following Chelsea’s 1-1 draw against Burnley, Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel has revealed that Ross Barkley was angry at himself after missing a chance against Burnley
Tuchel said at his post-match press conference when asked about Ross Barkley’s missed chance: “Yes, he was not the only one,”
“If you watched him in training you would see that he deserved to start. We changed the shape of the front three today and played with a number ten position to get in behind the two number sixes of Burnley.
“It was the perfect position for Ross to start today. He waited a long time and he has made a huge impact in our matches when he came on [from the bench].
“He had a good match. He had the match points on his left foot, when you see him in training, he is maybe even stronger on his left foot in this position.
“Of course, before that we had a huge chance with Callum (Hudson-Odoi) and Thiago Silva. I think if we score a second one then we would score a third and fourth one with no comeback possible.
“He is angry at himself, he created chances and we had chances in the first and second half so no one points fingers at him.”
