(Reuters) - Chelsea have sometimes lacked the killer blow in the final third and must find a balance between attack and their counter-pressing game, manager Thomas Tuchel said on Friday.
Chelsea have never scored more than two goals in a game since Tuchel took charge and despite their 13-game unbeaten run -- the longest ever unbeaten start by a Chelsea manager -- his priority has been stopping the opponent from creating chances.
"Maybe we lacked composure but that's our fault because we work so hard against the ball. It's about balance and I believe we have that balance in how the players feel. Olivier Giroud was Chelsea's hero in the first leg of the Champions League last-16 when he scored the winner at Atletico Madrid but he has found minutes hard to come by, raising questions about his future with his contract ending this season.
