The Dutchman has been unable to get the same tune out of his team as he did in his title-winning debut season.Asked whether he'd told his team to slow play down, he offered a sarcastic response: "Yeah, I said after we scored the 1-0 and then we got a big chance for the 2-0... didn't you see me screaming off the sideline?FOLLOW OUR CHELSEA FB PAGE! Of course it's not the idea for us to back off."We wanted to keep going but we played against a team that got more and more comfortable on the ball.

They didn't have any wingers available, so they had a lot of midfielders, so they controlled the midfield and started to play and [were] passing through us more and more and more, which didn't lead to a lot of chances but they were by far the dominant team in the game."It was difficult to change that during the first half but I think you might have noticed as well, apart from other things you've noticed, that at half-time we changed things.""But I think it's not fair to me that anyone could ever think that I tell my players to back off and to drop down and not to press them," he added. "Either you haven't seen my teams playing last season and large parts of this season, let alone since I'm a manager."But it did look like that, that we dropped down, but that's never the intention.
