Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino admits his team must improve to avoid the wrath of the home fans.
Pochettino saw his team booed off the field against Wolves in the Premier League on Sunday.
Despite a spirited display, Chelsea were beaten 4-2 by the away side, with both sets of fans mocking the home players at one stage of the game.
Pochettino stated post-game: "What we can say, apologise to the fans. The perception is one thing and the reality is another. The perception is that Chelsea should be in a different position but the circumstance, we are not there. One maybe we are not good enough.
"It's the most important [thing] now to feel the responsibility and of course the organisation and the players that we have. To understand the fans is really important. We want to apologise. We are disappointed like them but until the end, you need to fight together and of course we want to take good results in the future.
"During the 90 minutes, you need to try and work together and in the end, they have the capacity and they will be right to criticise or be angry if the performance is not good. The players are young, they need support. I want to thank you [the fans] because until the end, they were supporting."
On how it affects him, Pochettino added: "I am a human. I am not a robot. Of course that is not a nice situation. But in football, you need to accept. When you are at a club like Chelsea with all the expectation, you need to accept that and I think that happened today.
"To be in this business, in this type of club, you need to be strong. We have the energy and the capacity to move on. Yes, of course, it's not a nice moment but it's always about to move on and convince the players and push the players to never give up, to be brave and recover from this kind of situation.
"The players need to feel the confidence, they need to believe again to compete again. The players want to deliver a very good show. Of course they feel the pressure from the fans in the 90 minutes. It's easy to be sitting and watching the players play but when the stress arrives, sometimes it is not easy. Right now, we need to help them recover from the defeat."
