Having seen his side fall to only our second defeat in the Premier League this season, Thomas Tuchel had no intention of condemning the performance overall as a bad one, but the boss did lament individual errors that lead to our downfall in the 3-2 loss at West Ham.
Having gone ahead through Thiago Silva, the Blues gave away a penalty and then despite Mason Mount restoring the lead, we allowed the home side to score twice in the second half, the frustrating winner coming late on with the aid of a deflection.
‘I don’t see our performance as different than against Man United,’ said Tuchel as he began his summing up.
‘The performance is enough to even win the game but what we clearly see is that we give easy goals away and this is very unusual. We make big mistakes and we have done this now for three matches, against Man United, Watford and again today. If you do this at this kind of level you cannot expect to have results.
‘If you want clean sheets, if you want to dominate games, if you want to protect yourself against counter-attacks, it’s impossible to do these kinds of mistakes. We did that now three times in a row and it is simply too much.
