Chelsea news: Joe Cole claims Thomas Tuchel made ‘statement’ with two stars vs Burnley | Football | Sport

“Reece James, outstanding, can’t sing his praises highly enough.

“I think Pulisic came into the game, Mason Mount came into the game, Havertz with two goals.

“I think he’s better as a No 9, a false nine. He looked like a penalty-box player today which I feel he is. He comes alive and he’ll score many [goals].

“I think what was telling today is that the fact Chelsea were three or 4-0 up and Thomas Tuchel looked at his bench and Werner came on, Lukaku didn’t. I think that’s a statement.

“If you’re a manager and you’re trying to manage your squad, that’s an opportunity for him to come on, maybe tap another one in and build himself up. But he didn’t.
