Thomas Tuchel in the dugout during Chelsea's 1-0 victory away to Barnsley in the FA Cup Thomas Tuchel states that the key in helping this Chelsea team will be for him to introduce new ideas without the players being overworked or overloaded throughout a hectic season. In a spell which is typical of the current campaign, Chelsea booked their place in the quarter finals of the FA Cup with a victory over Barnsley on Thursday night and return to action in the premier league at home to Newcastle United, which leaves just three days between matches to recuperate and recover. Though the lack of training time will be frustrating for Tuchel whilst trying to get to know his players midway through the season, the German feels that a higher number of games provides an opportunity to see what they are able to do on the pitch, even if he has to be careful with how much work he will have to do with them at Cobham.

You wouldn't have known that the last 2 of Jorginho's 5 penalties have been saved this season, such was the efficiency in which he dispatched his penalty kick in North London. Somewhat of a surprise considering Chelsea's dominance throughout the game, Jorginho's strike from 12 yards out was the only goal of the game leaving Chelsea's vice-captain to reflect on a terrific away win. 'It's a great feeling' says Jorginho. 'We worked very hard. We knew it would be a difficult game, it was a great London derby against a very good side.
