Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel has slammed the performance of his players in their 1-0 loss to Dinamo Zagreb on match day one in this season’s Champions League on Tuesday.
A brilliant counter attack finished off by Mislav Oršić on 13 minutes, saw Chelsea suffer their third defeat in seven games in all competitions this season.
Also, Chelsea have now failed to keep a clean sheet in their past six games, since opening the Premier League campaign with a 1-0 victory at Everton.
And reacting angrily to the latest setback Tuchel told BT Sport:”We are clearly not there, where we need to be and where we can be. So it’s on me, it’s on us, we need to find solutions.
“At the moment, everything is missing, [there is] too much to analyse. I’m a part of it.
“I am angry at myself, I am angry at our performance. I didn’t see it coming.
“We need to be much better. We are not finished, we are not happy but I thought we were on a good way. I am surprised by this performance.”

Tuchel states further:”It’s an underperformance from us. We have the same story as always.
“We have an OK start, we don’t finish our half-chances, we don’t feel it when the game is already there to put to bed in the first 15-20 minutes.
“Then we concede one counter-attack, which is far too easy, and from there we struggled.”
Asked how many players were at the top of their game, Tuchel replied: “Not a lot at the moment.
“I don’t know where this performance comes from. It’s a lack of hunger, intensity, a lack of determination to win duels, to actually do things on the highest level.
“You cannot expect to win games, not in the Premier League or Champions League. We are not where we want to be.”
