Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino hopes his team can turn a corner in the coming weeks.
The Blues have experienced one or two false dawns regarding their form this season.
A humbling defeat to Manchester United at Old Trafford on Wednesday shone the spotlight on the club and manager Pochettino.
On some fans booing the team in midweek and their progress, he stated: I think it is not fair to talk too much about progress because all of the circumstances are difficult and we need to evaluate day by day and game by game.
It's not excuse because we are in a club that needs to win. We know the club better, we know the players better, the relationship with the staff and people here is a massive progress because we know them.
Every single player knows what we expect from that, another thing is to deliver the job, another thing is to perform. We are not getting what we want, I think we deserve much more from the beginning of the season, the last few weeks we drop our performance, I am fair and realistic.
We need to get a good way to perform better again After Brighton, the feelings were different, after Manchester we cannot go from 0 to 100, 100 to 0.
This type of period is normal, it is tough because we are Chelsea. We need to see the reality that sometimes we struggle and we don't have the possibility to use all of the elements. Not only us. Too many positive things from the beginning of the season, it's about to try to keep going, being calm, not too much when we win, not too down when we lose. The balance is the most important."
