Thomas Tuchel has admitted that his side has not maintained their physical output in recent matches and that Chelsea have struggled to focus on individual matches in recent weeks. The Blues have shown hot and cold form since returning from the last international break and have recorded just two wins in their last six matches.
The German coach acknowledged his players were playing for their place in the starting XI for the FA Cup final but emphasised that his squad's consistency must improve rather than needing to find a reaction following each problematic performance.
Tuchel suggested his team may have become too comfortable and need to rediscover the mentality they had earlier in the season if they hope to be successful against not just Liverpool but Wolves and Leeds too.
