Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger has admitted Chelsea are giving up far too many goals.
The Blues managed to snap a two-match winless streak with a thrilling 3-2 victory over Leeds United on Saturday.
Thomas Tuchel's side have now conceded 8 goals in their past three games.
"In terms of mentality, we matched their [Leeds'] game, in terms of quality, no because the goals we conceded were too easy," Rudiger said.
"These days we concede a lot of goals which are too easy and we have to address this. If you want to compete for trophies you should not do that type of mistake. We know we need to improve things as quickly as possible.
"We do silly mistakes, we punish ourselves and give away goals. It's not that the opponents are killing us or outplaying us.
"Obviously we are missing players, this is clear, but I don't look for excuses. We have a good squad and this is the chance for people now and everyone has to take their chance."
