Chelsea boss Luiz Felipe Scolari insists they should've been able to take care of FA Cup opponents Southend yesterday without suspended captain John Terry.

"John is captain and he is a very good player, but it is not because John Terry did not play today that we drew. We drew today because we made a mistake in the last minute," Scolari told Chelsea's website.

"He is a good player, he is a captain, and he is a man who can sometimes change the game on the pitch, because he is a strong man, but it is not because John Terry was not here today that we drew.

"Next week I will have [Michael] Ballack, Deco and Terry back, so it is better for me.

"I know we have drawn many times at Stamford Bridge, but I also know we are better when we are away.

:I need to teach my players more concentration in the final minutes of the game."
