Hazard says Chelsea have "no excuses" for their current form and must stop
giving opponents easy goals.
Saturday's 3-0 defeat at Arsenal made it one point from a possible nine in
the Premier League, and Antonio Conte's side have conceded at least twice in
the first half of their past three matches.
Gary Cahill's error gifted Alexis Sanchez Arsenal's opener at the weekend,
while Hazard failed to track Hector Bellerin's run which led to a second for
Theo Walcott.
Conte has admitted Chelsea's form is giving him sleepless nights, and now
Belgium star Hazard has given a blunt assessment of the side's recent
performances.
He told the club website: "Every weekend at the moment we having to come
back and score. We did it at Leicester [in the EFL cup] but against Arsenal,
who were playing at home, it was not possible.
"They played well. We need to be better. In the last three games in the
league there have been nine points available and we have got one.
"It is disappointing. We need to go away and work on what we are doing wrong
ahead of the big matches that are coming up.
"There are no excuses. It was not good. We lost too many duels. We came to
win the match but we made mistakes, for the first goal, another for the
second and then before we knew it we were already 3-0 down."
Chelsea go to Hull this weekend and face champions Leicester and Manchester
United immediately after the international break.
Midfielder Nemanja Matic said: "We have to know we play for a big club and
we have to recover as soon as possible and be focused on the next game. I'm
sure the coach will see where the problem is."
