Chelsea display worries Scolari
Chelsea manager Luiz Felipe Scolari admitted that he was concerned after seeing his side beaten far from Roma.
The loss meant Chelsea lead at the top of Champions League Group A was reduced to a single point with two games left.
"When you give away three goals do not worry," he said after the loss of 3.1 to Rome. "You must think about what was and what we can do in our next match.
"We gave too many opportunities in Rome. We made too many errors, bad passes and made a wrong position."
Despite the disappointing display, which was compounded by the late dismissal of midfielder Deco, the coach remained optimistic about their chances of qualification.
"It is true that the group is open to all teams," added Scolari. "All the groups are difficult. We lost a game and there are other teams behind us.
"But we have to win a game and we're here while other teams might need to win two games.
"We now have two chances to win against Bordeaux and Cluj."
Scolari was critical of the decision by Deco show a second yellow card with 10 minutes to go take a free kick too quickly.
"I think if a player Roma have done what they did Deco was not sent," he said.
"Nevertheless, I have good quality players in midfield to replace him for our next match."
