He gave a little more detail about where it had all fallen apart:<\/p>\n \u201cI thought the first 15 minutes we were nowhere near the level we needed to be,\u201d the manager said.<\/p>\n \u201cI thought the early goal was a bit of a sucker punch and we didn\u2019t seem to really recover from that moment. It was a 3v1 at the back post. We know that they like to cross to the back post. We know that the No.9 likes to peel to the back post and we should defend that moment better. It\u2019s really disappointing.\u201d<\/p>\n There\u2019s no doubt, the defending wasn\u2019t good enough in that moment. All too often we\u2019ve been let down by defenders\u2019 individual efforts, and then the whole team fails to have the spirit to lift themselves once they concede.<\/p>\n Joao Pedro also spoke after the game, and had little he could say about why the team were so poor.<\/p>\n On Sky Sports, Jamie Carragher laid into the Chelsea project as a whole but said it was \u201cgood for football.\u201d<\/p>\n DOWNLOAD THE OFFICIAL CHELSEA NEWS APP FOR ALL THE LATEST UPDATES \u2013 STRAIGHT TO YOUR PHONE!
