Thomas Tuchel won't acknowledge Chelsea are safe in the top four as he battles to make sense of their mistake tossed nature and unexpected loss of home structure.
I'm stressed over the quantity of errors,' said Tuchel, as his team get ready to have West Ham on Sunday. 'In the year 2022, we previously had eight serious mix-ups that prompted goals. This is extremely untypical, exceptionally strange.
'It sets us back a great deal. Not just a goal, it costs you self-assurance and faith in the thing you are doing.'
Chelsea have taken just 26 focuses from 15 games at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League this season, and have been all around beaten in their last three home matches, yielding 11 goals in routs against Brentford (1-4), Real Madrid (1-3) and Arsenal (2-4).
'It's a piece delicate right now,' said Tuchel, choosing expensive mix-ups by goalkeeper Edouard Mendy in the Champions League against Madrid and a mis-hit backpass by Andreas Christensen against Arsenal, on Wednesday.
'Edou realizes he can improve and regularly does. Andreas knows it's the ideal choice to play the ball back. It isn't so much that we face insane challenges. So it's difficult to break down.'
Chelsea are a far off third to Manchester City and Liverpool with Tottenham and Arsenal five points behind the Blues, although both north London clubs have played a game more.
'I never have a good sense of safety in the Premier League,' said Tuchel. 'No one ought to. Having a real sense of reassurance doesn't keep you on the edge. Having a good sense of safety is exceptionally near being lethargic or not completely ready.'
He fears his players might be floating after an exhausting effort of 55 games — five of which went into additional time — because of the actual requests as well as the psychological strain, and the test of skipping from passionate cup ties against Real Madrid and Crystal Palace to the general ordinariness of association apparatuses when they have for some time been out of the title race.
'Perhaps it returns to me since I ought to push them and make them alert,' said Tuchel. 'It's human to be drained, human to be more ready in a knockout game than ordinary matches.
'At times it's likewise great, the establishment to play 60 games. At Mainz with one game seven days, each game resembled a cup last and the players were depleted until Tuesday.
'At Dortmund, players gave everything actually on a typical match yet intellectually it was not a similar feeling of anxiety.
'It's OK to feel less strain before a typical home match in the Premier League than if you go to the Bernabeu.
'It is perhaps less strain, fervor and tension. Be that as it may, it can't prompt being less ready or having less speculation. This can never occur.
'We can't run more or do a bigger number of runs and more exertion than against Madrid or Brentford. There were no questions about it as we had the actual information.
'It's somewhat similar to this however not similarly against Arsenal. That is the reason it's hard to comprehend the motivations behind why, as a matter of fact.'
