Thomas Tuchel said that his team his not where they ought to be but insists he encourage his players always.
Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel said believes that they are not where they should be after recent performance.
The Blues was on top on the Premier League table before they were overtaken by Manchester City.
The German stated that they have been able to manage their performance with their result.
“We are in a place where you don’t want to be,” he said.
“We have had good performances – sometimes very good – but we don’t have the results for them.
“If you have bad performances and you don’t have the results, you just focus on the performance. You speak it out loud, get the details better, do whatever needs to be done to make the performance better and increase the possibility of a result.
“If you had a bad performance and you get a good result, even better because you are still in the place where you can focus on the bad performance, but you win and have that atmosphere.
“In this space where we are, it’s tricky,” he continued.
“We lost two points against Manchester United because we did a silly mistake. We were clearly the better team. I saw many teams struggle more against West Ham than we did, but we lose with a freak shot in the last minute. And I refuse to analyse the Everton match from the result.
“We are getting punished for not a lot. It’s hard to accept.”
Tuchel stated that he continues to encourage his boy despite having a poor result.
“I encourage the team to go, do it again and believe. Why should we not? The last results are not what we expect, a bit up and down, and maybe we struggle with praise, but it’s not one reason.
“We are always looking for reasons. We want to have doubts, and have the results be the proof for the performance, but I don’t see big things going wrong.”
