Thomas Tuchel was not happy with what he saw from Chelsea in the loss to Arsenal on Wednesday.

The Blues went down at Stamford Bridge courtesy of a first-half goal from Emile Smith Rowe.

And Tuchel took the blame for making a number of changes to the team who beat Manchester City on Saturday.

The German said after the game: "The first half was OK, it was enough to lead 3-0 but we were 1-0 down because we forgot to score at the other end and then scored an own goal practically, I don't know how Arsenal would've scored if we didn't give it to them ourselves.

"We were not sharp enough, not the same energy as usual. We are responsible, I am responsible, we are all in this together so it was not enough to win the game.

"Bit angry that we had so many changes, that's on me, not so happy in the end with the line-up, but I didn't know what would happen, I didn't feel us today like I normally do and we can't expect to win games if we're not 100% in games. We didn't have a shot for almost the whole second half, then we had a big one, maybe we deserved this today, we learn something.

"I'm not happy with what I saw, I have my responsibility because I picked the line-up, but the performance was the performance."

Chelsea will next face Leicester City in the FA Cup final on Saturday.

Asked whether it's good to get a loss out of the way before the FA Cup final, Tuchel added:"It's a bad thing - I don't need these things to wake up to know how hard it is.

"I don't need to lose to know this, we needed to wake up again together but I don't know why. Now everybody is awake again."
