Ruben Loftus-Cheek says the individual mistakes that have cost Chelsea victories and all-important Premier League points in recent weeks. They are not up to the standard expected at the club, and he believes greater on-pitch concentration is needed if the Blues are to secure their place in the Premier League top four.
Chelsea's 1-0 defeat at Everton yesterday was their third in the last six top-flight fixtures. It's a run that has enabled London rivals Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur to close the gap to Thomas Tuchel's side in the chase to qualify for the Champions League next season.
The Blues remain in control of their destiny – six points are all that is required from their remaining four matches to secure at least a fourth-place finish in the Premier League. Yet, with costly mistakes mounting and subpar performances becoming more frequent, it will not be a stroll to the finish.
