I had learnt my lesson, I can never start with him - Thomas Tuchel admits his mistake in starting this Chelsea player.

 

Cesar Azpilicueta looks like a player past his best and struggling to cope with the demands of Chelsea in 2022, with Thomas Tuchel facing big questions over his defence this summer.

There was a moment in the dying seconds of the first half of Saturday's draw with Wolves that hit home why this season should be Cesar Azpilicueta's last in a Chelsea shirt. 

Going for a loose ball after a Chelsea attack had broken down, Azpilicueta messily attempted to shut down the faster Pedro Neto, seeming to be first the ball, the defender bizarrely turned his attention to the man.

Eventually fouling Neto but the official playing advantage as Willy Boly played in Rayan Ait-Nouri who fortunately blasted over.
