Tyrique George looked set to be on his way out of Chelsea in the summer, with a £22m move to Fulham only falling through late on deadline day. Handed a first-team lifeline, the 19-year-old took it with a starring role as the Blues battled back to avoid a Carabao Cup upset at Lincoln City. Playing out of position as a lone striker rather than on the wing, George stepped up, having struggled like the rest of his team-mates under the aggressive approach from Lincoln. We struggled a little bit in the first half, but second half we were much better. That is why I was so annoyed in the first half, because we know that we needed to do better."
