Thomas Tuchel reprimanded Chelsea's demeanor after a 3-3 draw with Zenit Saint Petersburg left them confronting the possibility of meeting Bayern Munich or Real Madrid in the following round of the Champions League.
A physical issue time wonder strike from Magomed Ozdoev cost the European bosses best position in Group H and was the second game in a progression that they had surrendered three objectives.
Tuchel blamed his players for lacking focus and exertion after twice permitting prompts slip and made no confidential of his dissatisfaction as Chelsea's new droop proceeded.
The German has effectively seen his side slip from first to third in the Premier League in the wake of dropping five focuses in three games – and after Saturday's 3-2 loss to West Ham, he hit out at another messy exhibition.
"Possibly we are failing to remember why we are the better group on account of the speculation, the focus, the degree of the actual venture was not sufficiently high to be the better group," he said."Once this drops, when we begin overseeing results, we get rebuffed. It occurred at West Ham and today. In any case, the response was again great and that shows me that it's really not necessary to focus on what we can do, on the grounds that we can do it.
"My examination is extremely clear. Our conduct changes when we have a lead and this is the sort of thing we never did and ought to never do. We would do the things we like to do at the most significant level and we propel ourselves until it damages and it needs to hurt.
"You must be worn out at half-time and completely drained. You need to play through actual torment and raise your degree of fixation and beat affliction. Without this, in the event that you change your conduct due to an outcome, you permit the likelihood to be rebuffed.
"In the event that you are unfortunate enough like we are right now, then, at that point, it can happen to you. The test is to close the entryway and limit the chance. It is extremely simple, we want a more elevated level of runs, a more significant level of running, power, and focus level.
"It is the nuts and bolts and the rudiments should be pushed onto a more significant level while we are ahead of the pack. It can't drop since we are in the number one spot and this is what's going on right now to us. It's not the higher perspective, but rather it is the thing that it is."Timo Werner terminated Chelsea ahead following two minutes, yet objectives from Claudinho and Sardar Azmoun saw Zenit go on at the break.
Romelu Lukaku evened out in the second half before Werner hoped to have struck an 85th-minute victor. In any case, Ozdoev's relentless strike from 25 yards denied Chelsea's best position.
Tuchel added: "You know whether you mentor Chelsea and we yield six objectives in two matches, we parted with the lead multiple times in these two matches, then, at that point, my desire to discuss individual exhibitions isn't really high, since no one can be glad today, and it's not possible for anyone to be content in West Ham.
"In case you do serious mix-ups in focal positions you get rebuffed by counter-assault in light of the fact that the speed is high on the grounds that the quality is high, the specialized level is unimaginably high. So you really want to do your stuff on the most elevated level.
"Assuming you do it you can have a game like the initial 15 minutes. Assuming you don't do it and the inclination is that this ought to be OK, you get rebuffed in light of the fact that the level is too high and this is what occurred."
