Thomas Tuchel short of solutions as Chelsea dragged into top 4 battle with Arsenal and Tottenham

Thomas Tuchel seems to be lost for solutions to Chelsea's inability to keep clean sheets. Considering his side's defensive reputation it must be a hard pill to swallow knowing that every game is a struggle to lock out the opposition.

The Blues lost against Everton and fans just can't seem to figure out how we have fallen into this rot. Once again, Chelsea are in a top-four battle after their North London rivals Arsenal and Tottenham managed to secure three points over the weekend. It was an individual error from Cesar Azpilicueta that led to Everton's only goal and it's not the first time that this has happened.

I like to stay positive in times like this. If there is
