Chelsea defeated Leicester in the FA Cup quarter-final and will now face Man City in the semi-final to be played at Wembley.
The victory against Leicester was harder than it needed to be for the Blues as Leicester equalised after going 2-0 down. Their comeback was inspired by a spectacular Axel Disasi own goal.
'We scored five today with the goal of Axel as well," Mauricio Pochettino said after the game, as quoted by the club's official website. "I think we need to find a collective balance because we have great offensive players.
"They also need to think about defensive actions. There are two phases in football, one with the ball and one without the ball, and when we concede goals it is not only about the goalkeeper or the defensive line.
"We cannot at the moment find this balance. We have young players who need to be more mature and have more energy when we go to press and run backwards.
"That is the reality and that is why it is difficult to find consistency. We need to fix that with time and find the balance in this aspect."
