Former Liverpool star Graeme Souness has claimed that Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel is making excuses for his side's poor display against Leeds United.
The Premier League giants were humbled by the Elland Road club, losing 3-0 away from home in the league on Sunday.
Post-game, manager Tuchel spoke about transportation issues, when they had to take a long bus ride instead of flying to Leeds from London.
"It's not a reason, it's not a factor," he told talkSPORT.
"So what if they were to go up on a bus? I'm sure it's a five-star bus with a drinks machine, a microwave, and everything else you'd want. And Leeds to London, what is it, three hours?
"It's nonsense, I've no idea [why he said it]. Because the only people that really matter on match day are the players. It's not the managers, it's not the coaching staff.
"It's the players making sure they've rested properly, they've travelled properly, they get there on time so nothing is rushed actually in the stadium."
