"Saturday we played very badly, a game without determination," said Sarri.
"We lost a match after three and a half months (but) we played without determination in such a big game.
"If you do not have any determination, you have no motivation.If you have no motivation, you may not have clear goals in your mind .

N & # 39; Golo Kante has been criticized for criticizing the public because of his role right from the midfield.
The French midfielder won the Football World Cup in the summer and signed a new five-year contract with Chelsea last week.

"For me, the central midfielder is Jorginho or (Cesc) Fabregas," added the 59-year-old Italian.
"I do not want Kante in this position." Kante in the last game wanted to solve the match after the first 15 minutes, but in the wrong direction.
"He lost the position, he attacked the other box too much, and I think this one is not one of Kante's best features." 39, a reaction to difficulties. "
Sarri has encouraged Kante to go forward in the matches and his latest comments may seem like a contradiction.

"It depends on the action.If the ball is on the left, we have (Marcos) Alonso, (Eden) Hazard, (Mateo) Kovacic, (Ross) Barkley, and in this situation he must stay very close to Jorginho. "
Hazard is out with an ankle injury against the Spurs, but should be back against Fulham on Sunday.
