Unai Emery asked for Aston Villa to "keep balance" as their run of poor form continued on Sunday with a 3-0 defeat against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
The visitors were outperformed in every major statistic as the Blues cruised to a fairly easy victory to leave their opponents winless in eight matches across all competitions.
Emery admitted that Chelsea are simply "better" than Villa right now and stressed that his players need to remain focused with another match in just three days.
"The analysis is not only for this match," he told Sky Sports. "We arrived here two years ago and progressively we were always getting better.
"This match is a good test for us to see where we are with teams like Chelsea, Liverpool a few weeks ago.
"At the beginning of the season we can sense some teams were better than us and one of them is Chelsea.
"Try to keep balance, not be frustrated. We are going to try again to recover our confidence on Wednesday against Brentford."
Despite the fact his side have not won a match since Octover 22, Emery trusts the process he has implemented and backed his players to pull through.
"We believe completely in our work," he said. "We are enjoying the Champions League and in the league we are more or less under where we were.
"Our challenge is to fight on Wednesday with Brentford and see how our level is with Brentford.
"There are still matches to play and we are going to recover our confidence, trying to build the team.
"We have to try to be better than we are being now. We can individually do better."
