Chelsea manager Tuchel risks FA charge | OneFootball

Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel is in risk of being charged by the FA over his comments after the win over Brentford on Saturday.

Tuchel was informed about a supporter-led petition demanding Taylor be removed from future Chelsea games following the 0-0 draw with Liverpool in August that saw Reece James sent off.

Asked about the petition, Tuchel said on Friday: "I trust in the referees and I trust in Anthony Taylor that he will try to have the best performance.

"Do we need a top referee? Yes. Do we need good decisions from VAR or maybe no decisions from VAR? Yes. Do we need a little bit of luck? Yes. And, hopefully, we can turn things around with Anthony Taylor."

FA rules state that managers are not permitted to discuss officials before games.

However, given Tuchel's impeccable record since joining Chelsea in January, the Evening Standard says it is more likely he will receive a warning rather than a more severe punishment.
