Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham would have been watching on yesterday absolutely distraught with the result and performances of his Chelsea team mates, just like us fans were.
He would have been sat there thinking that he could be doing a better job than any of the Blues’ lacklustre attackers.

This is not an isolated incident though, Abraham looks to be well out of favour with Thomas Tuchel, and his future at the club now looks very bleak with just two years remaining on his current contract and no sign of a renewal being agreed.
Many believed that Abraham was still injured, that was the only reason he was left out of the squad by Tuchel once again.
But no, Tuchel confirmed it was just a selection decision due to only have a certain amount of players he can name in his squad. Abraham didn’t even get the nod over Olivier Giroud, who’s contract runs out this summer.
Thomas Tuchel on Tammy Abraham's omission:
"He was not in the squad. I have to nominate 18 players. There are tough choices to make. We take the choices of what the game demands, of what we predict, of the substitutions that we have."

With Chelsea reportedly targeting strikers this summer, things aren’t looking good for Abraham.
Tuchels treatment of Tammy is disgusting! Tammy’s numbers speak for itself, I just dont understand why no one at Chelsea have faith in him.
Tuchels tactics are worse than Mourinhos, he’s defensive and his attackers lack the freedom to roam and create opportunities. Why is Pulisic and Ziyech not as exciting as they were under Lampard?
I really think Chelsea made a bad choice with Tuchel, there are a lot more forward thinking coaches out there.
