Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho said he was happy with his strike options after taking responsibility for his team's shock Champions League defeat by Basel.
.
New signing Samuel Eto'o started and Demba Ba was a second-half substitute, while Fernando Torres failed to make the bench as midfielder Oscar netted.
.
"When we lose I don't speak about the players or individuals. I speak about my responsibility," said Mourinho.
.
"I'm happy with the three strikers for the rest of the season."
.
Cameroon striker Eto'o made his home debut after joining from Russian side Anzhi Makhachkala, but did not test Basel goalkeeper Yann Sommer until injury-time at Stamford Bridge.
.
Fellow forward Ba was introduced before Basel's second goal as the Blues searched for a winner, while £50m signing Torres was not named in Mourinho's matchday squad.
.
The trio have scored only one of the Blues' seven goals in their opening six matches, when Torres netted in the Uefa Super Cup defeat by Bayern Munich.
.
"The players are good players and good professionals, and try their best every day and every match," added Mourinho. "The happy moment will arrive."
.
Chelsea dominated possession in the opening hour against Basel, but created few goalscoring opportunities apart from Oscar's opener.
The loss didn't go down well with Chelsea fans @ all. It came at the wrongest time after their defeat to Everton!
