Do you think Chelsea will be able to complete the season despite their current financial restraints? Let us know in the comments section.Mason Mount has become an integral part of this Chelsea squad since breaking through under Frank Lampard.Since Tuchel arrived at Stamford Bridge, his status as the Blues' main man has only heightened - and it's fair to say the German has a lot of trust in his English superstar.So much so, that he took a risk for this game and deployed Mount in an unfamiliar deeper role, with Timo Werner, Hakim Ziyech and Kai Havertz given the nod to form an attacking trio.That meant Mount played in a three-man midfield alongside N'Golo Kante and Jorginho, but Tuchel's tactical switch-up saw the Three Lions star endure a frustrating afternoon.He got forward on occasions - and was close to opening the scoring in the first half - but he wasn't able to have a huge impact on the game.Indeed, Mount was replaced in the 63rd minute after enduring a difficult afternoon. Romelu Lukaku's recent struggles have been well documented - but Chelsea could have done with the big Belgian on the pitch for longer than 30 minutes.

Everyone is brilliant."In a lengthy rant on social media Jackie previously penned: "As for the show, what's the point of saying it's a skate competition when it's really just a popularity competition."Why divide the skaters into two weeks, groups of your choosing, and why not judge all the scores together after the two weeks?"She continued: "And what's the point of having a judging panel when it's all down to a public vote.
