Thomas Tuchel has urged his Chelsea forwards to trust the process as they look to more clinical in front of goal.

The Blues drew 0-0 with Leeds United on Saturday, their second game in four without scoring a goal.

Tuchel has used four different forwards to solve the conundrum, including Kai Havertz as a false nine against the Whites.

And the German wants his attackers to not overthink the situation and simply 'focus on the process'.

"It's a unique position and a sensitive position so I truly believe that it's not so important just training them to shake their goalscoring mentality," said Tuchel to the club's website.

"We're here to help everybody and at the moment for us it's important to keep their focus on the process. We can't just look at the result of "is the ball in or not?" but instead it's the process that matters to escape the pressure they sometimes put on themselves.

"The process is good decision-making, good technique, good vision, and if you focus on these points then the result will take care of itself and it means you will find the back of the net.

"That's what we try to implement and how we try to help. Of course we have some exercises to help them in training in terms of finishing but in the end it's clear that you talk whatever you want and show videos but for a striker, the most important thing is to score. This is the last percentage that he needs to be at full confidence and there is no substitute for that.'
