‘They were just not good enough for Tuchel team: Hasselbaink reveals why these four players can’t win the league for Chelsea
Chelsea were top of the league at some point last year, and it was expected that the Blues would go on to win the title or at least fight for it.
However, Chelsea’s title challenge didn’t last long, and as at January, the Blues were already out of the race.
Meanwhile, former Chelsea striker Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink has revealed his disappointment at some of the player’s performances after the 4-2 defeat to Arsenal, and claimed that Chelsea can’t fight for the title with Romelu Lukaku, Marcos Alonso, Malang Sarr and Andreas Christensen.
Hasselbaink said: “I think Tuchel is very disappointed. I don’t think he wants to be too critical of individuals but I think he’s very disappointed in certain individuals,”
“I don’t understand why he’s talking about the pitch because there’s two teams playing on the pitch. Maybe he’s trying to protect certain individuals but if you look at the game, Chelsea were well under par.
“Lukaku, Christensen, Sarr and Alonso – they were just not good enough for a Chelsea team that should be challenging for winning the Premier League. I know they can’t be No1 anymore but you still play for your pride.”
