Chelsea boss Guus Hiddink has backed goalkeeper Petr Cech despite letting in seven goals in his last two outings.
The shot-stopper let in four goals in Chelsea's Champions League draw with Liverpool overnight after copping three goals against Bolton in the league on the weekend but Hiddink knows he will bounce back because he is such a determined player.
"He is a very intelligent and self-critical goalkeeper," said Hiddink.
"He was not happy with his performance against Bolton although there was always a sequence of errors before he came into action. But he is very critical of his own performance even when he has had an almost perfect game.
"There were some things tonight where you could see he was not full of confidence. I think a goalkeeper once in a while has a right not to have a big performance.
"But he will stay a very good goalkeeper, every person sometimes has this small period of not being on top form. If a player is playing a lesser game now and then, it is not always the reason to make a substitution."
