Under-fire Maurizio Sarri admitted his Chelsea flops played "confused" football as they crashed out of the FA Cup with a tame 2-0 defeat against Manchester United on Monday.
Sarri was subjected to calls for his sacking from angry Chelsea fans during the troubled team's fifth defeat in their last 10 games.
Booed off at the final whistle, the beleaguered Blues manager felt Chelsea deserved better after the FA Cup holders started the fifth round clash on top.
But he conceded they lacked direction and focus in a tepid second half surrender.
"Tonight we were unlucky because we played a very good first half and at the end of the half the score was 2-0," Sarri said.
"We gave them a few opportunities. We played confusing football in the second half. After the first half it wasn't easy to play with that score."
"We have to work, we have to speak, we have to find more aggression and determination in both boxes."
