Thomas Tuchel: 'Chelsea must learn from mistakes'

Chelsea head coach Thomas Tuchel admits that he 'cannot pretend' that his side have not under-performed and made mistakes during their last three fixtures.

Head coach Thomas Tuchel has called on his Chelsea players to learn from their recent mistakes when they face Leeds United.

The Blues have produced three underwhelming performances against Watford, West Ham United and Zenit St Petersburg, failing to post a victory from winning positions during the last two games.

As a result, Chelsea have dropped down to third position in the Premier League standings and missed out on top spot in their Champions League group.

Ahead of Saturday's encounter with Leeds, Tuchel has acknowledged that he cannot ignore his side's recent displays, calling on his squad to right the wrongs at the weekend.

Speaking to reporters at a press conference, Tuchel said: "Let's be honest. If you have the lead four times in two matches, and you escape with one point and six goals conceded, it is not the moment to look away and pretend that nothing is happening.

"It is a matter of details and small things. There are reasons for it. We played in Zenit without any centre midfielders who are used to playing there, a bit the same with Watford.

"You find a lot of arguments why it is like this. We are not happy. The performances are not horrible. They are in some moments, average, and average looks kind of horrible when you play for Chelsea. It's good that it feels like this because we try to be on highest level and compete, so we should not be surprised.

"I have the feeling like we drop from good performances to average performances when he lead. It is unusual for us and cannot become common. We learn now, hopefully, from experience and have the chance to prove it tomorrow."

Tuchel has revealed that Jorginho will 'play through the pain barrier' in order to return to the starting lineup.
