It is important to be calm and believe it is too soon to make judgements about the title," he said. "We can talk now about the problem, but two wins in a row will put us back in a challenging position.
"This is a bad time with an international break now, but afterwards we must keep winning our home games and start to do the same away.
"This season will be different. The difference between the top sides is not as big as before. Now there are also other sides who can beat or take points from the top sides; Bolton here, Aston Villa drawing with Chelsea.
"People will ask me now about the title, and our chances. Maybe if we win two games in a row then the question will be different in a couple of weeks.
"I am used to such questions, but for us we must wait and see if we can get three points next time.
"I do not accept that rotation and changing the team is the problem. I have been told that Manchester United won the title once and Sir Alex Ferguson changed the side 38 times."
