Emma Hayes called for more composure from Chelsea after they could only muster a goalless draw with group leaders Hacken in their Champions League clash at Stamford Bridge.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The hosts entered the game knowing victory would propel them to the top of Group D.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But the Blues found themselves frustrated by the visitors\u2019 block and unable to take advantage of the lion\u2019s share of possession.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Erin Cuthbert came closest to breaking the deadlock during a contest that left Hayes with a disappointed dressing room and highlighted multiple areas of improvement ahead of next week\u2019s reverse fixture.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She said: \u201cYou can\u2019t just play into the block like we did.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe were a bit frustrated and I think quite rightly because for the amount of ball we had and the amount of final third entries, there wasn\u2019t enough quality from the team as a whole.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI thought we lacked a little bit of calm and composure the longer the game went on. I can see the frustrations among the players.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou know, it\u2019s a point and we still have to go to Gothenburg.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI think you have moments that are a bit tricky in a season, you can\u2019t go through an entire year completely perfect.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve scored multiple goals up until the last two games and I think when you have these moments you get to see the characters of your players come through.<\/p>\n
\nThank you for your support tonight, Chelsea fans. \ud83d\udc99<\/p>\n

\u201cI could tell from the way the team started the game they want to do the right things. <\/p>\n
\u201cBut for whatever reason, players who are very good football players, some of them struggled to do the basics.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lauren James, who received a barrage of abuse following an incident in Saturday\u2019s 4-1 defeat to Women\u2019s Super League rivals Arsenal, was warmly received by supporters when she entered as a second-half substitute.<\/p>\n
Hayes, 47, added: \u201cShe should get that reception. She\u2019s one of their own. I expect that from our fans.\u201d<\/p>\n
Boss Mak Lind was pleased to see Hacken pick up another point,. <\/p>\n
He said: \u201cWe\u2019re proud of the players, they put a lot of heart on the pitch.\u201d<\/p>\n
