The Italian coach cannot say for certain if he retains the backing of his dressing room following a string of poor results <\/div>\n

Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri has claimed that he is not sure whether his players are still with him following his side’s 2-0 loss to Manchester United in the FA Cup.<\/p>\n

The Blues have now lost three of their last five games in all competitions without scoring, with Bournemouth and Manchester City inflicting 4-0 and 6-0 defeats, respectively.<\/p>\n

Sarri has just six days to try and pick his players up before their Carabao Cup final against City, a game which could prove decisive in whether or not he keeps his job.<\/p>\n

And the Italian admitted he was not entirely sure if his players still backed him following the recent run of poor results.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI think [the players are still with me]. Of course, I am not sure, but I think so,” Sarri said after the game.<\/p>\n

“I think the situation with the players is really very good for the relationship, but the relationship is not so important.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“It’s important to play, it’s important to get good results, but my relationship with my players is good at the moment.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sarri also voiced his frustration at the lack of fight his players showed – a criticism he has levelled at them before.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need all to improve because I am not able to get out of my players a very high level of aggression and determination.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

He defended his side’s performance as a whole, however, saying that his team were ‘unlucky’.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that, with the result, we were unlucky,” he said.<\/p>\n

“In the first half we played better than the opponent and, at the end of the first half, it was 2-0 to them.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Then in the second half, it was really very difficult to play because they are a really physical team and defended very low, compact.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“So we played confused football in the second half. But, in the first half, we played well.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“We need, of course, more aggression, more determination in the situation inside our box, and inside the opposing box.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Because the difference was there. We played 78 balls in the opposing goal, and United played only 16 into our box, and it was 2-0. That was the difference.\u201d<\/p>\n
