Chelsea head coach Guus Hiddink was far from totally satisfied with his side's performance in their 3-1 victory at home to Fulham.

Goals from Nicolas Anelka, Florent Malouda and Didier Drogba clinched what looked like a comfortable win, but Hiddink was concerned ahead of the Blues' Champions League semi-final second leg clash with Barcelona.

The Dutchman said: "You cannot afford to make the slightest error. I was not happy because we were sloppy in some positions and that's what I didn't like despite a good win.

"It's not just one position, it was a sequence of errors mostly.

"If we want to play a little bit for ourselves when we are not fully concentrated, then we give away chances, like we did against Fulham.

"But, if we do that on a higher level, we will be exposed and punished.

"I was happy with the result, but I don't shut my eyes to more moments in the game where we were sloppy."
