Chelsea are not moving forward and see the Europe objective moving further and further away. Held in check by Sheffield in the final moments of the match (2-2), the Blues suffered the blow. But fatigue is not an excuse according to coach Mauricio Pochettino, who believes that the players have everything available to perform.

“Of course they were tired, but that’s no excuse not to win the match. They can be tired and that’s why we have incredible facilities to provide everything for them – recovery, massages, swimming pools, hydrotherapy. Then it’s about being competitive.”, declared the Argentinian. Ninth in the Premier League, Chelsea have – almost – said their last word in the race for Europe.
