Thomas Tuchel has responded to a recent petition from Chelsea supporters aimed at referee Anthony Taylor, with the Blues boss saying he has no doubts about Taylor's officiating.
Over 80,000 Chelsea fans signed a petition to stop Taylor from refereeing the club's matches after several controversial decisions that went against the team, including Reece James' red card in Chelsea's 1-1 draw with Liverpool in August.
An Instagram post describing the petition was seemingly liked by Chelsea's Marcos Alonso, but Tuchel insisted he trusts Taylor going forward as the referee prepares to take charge of Chelsea's clash with Brentford this weekend.
"It is evident that this man has a strong agenda against the institution that is Chelsea FC," the petition's description reads. "For example, he has sent off players for no reason and jeopardised our results.
"We strongly believe this should be investigated and Anthony should be banned from officiating Chelsea games."
