Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho absolved Eden Hazard of any blame for their FA Cup defeat at Manchester City.
Hazard struggled to make an impact at the Etihad.
"My team didn't play so well and we couldn't get Eden Hazard into positions where he could be a threat," said Mourinho.
"The kid tried everything by dropping back, coming into the midfield, but was more difficult for him to beat one, two, three guys."
