Chelsea suffered a 1-0 defeat on Saturday afternoon at the hands of Manchester City.
Gabriel Jesus netted the only goal of the clash to hand Cityzens the desirable win.
Romelu Lukaku played not one of his best games, and after the game Thomas Tuchel was asked about it.
"I don't think it's necessary to talk about Romelu's struggle today," said Blues boss.
"When we reached Romelu the attack was already half over as there was not enough people, not enough belief and connection. So this was a team problem, not an individual problem."
Tuchel also reflected on his side's game in general:
"Yes, of course. Nobody can deny that. We were excellent but only in the last 20 metres of the match, not in the other 80 metres. Part of performance is to make an opponent underperform and that is what City did today. They were stronger, sharper, had more precision.
"I had a feeling we lacked belief and confidence to escape in the situations that it was possible to escape. With every mistake, we lost more confidence. This can happen. In the end, we defended our box and goal very well but we were too deep.
"Like I said, the game is so complex, you need a good performance at every level if you want to deserve a result. This was not the case today so we have to accept it and keep on going."
