Thomas Tuchel: Chelsea mistakes costing players 'self-confidence and belief'
Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel admits the number of mistakes made by his players is affecting their confidence amid suggestions that his side could be dragged into a top-four battle.
The Blues' miserable run of form continued on Wednesday when they were beaten 4-2 by Arsenal at Stamford Bridge.
That result means that both the fifth-placed Gunners and fourth-placed Tottenham are five points behind Chelsea in third, though they have both played a game more than their west London foes.
Speaking to the media ahead of Sunday's clash with West Ham, Tuchel admitted the sheer volume of errors his players were making is a concern, and revealed he is never comfortable in the Premier League - a viewpoint that has to be shared across the board.
"I'm worried about the number of mistakes," Tuchel said. "In the year 2022, we already had eight big mistakes that led to goals. This is very untypical, very unusual.
"It costs us a lot. Not only a goal, it costs you self-confidence and belief in what you are doing.
"'It's a bit fragile at the moment," Tuchel added, referencing mistakes made by Edouard Mendy and Andreas Christensen in recent games. "Edou knows he can do better and normally does. Andreas knows it's the right decision to play the ball back. It's not that we take crazy risks. So it's hard to analyse.
"I never feel secure in the Premier League. Nobody should. Feeling secure does not keep you on the edge. Feeling secure is very close to being lazy or not fully alert.
