Chelsea interim head coach Calum McFarlane said there have been no clear the air talks among the players and coaching staff following Liam Rosenior's sacking.
The Blues were hammered 3-0 by Brighton on Tuesday, their worst performance of the season as their woeful run extended to five Premier League losses in a row without scoring.
Speaking afterwards, Rosenior said the display had been unacceptable, questioned the players' desire and accused them of lacking professionalism.
He was dismissed less than 24 hours later, three months into the six-and-a-half-year deal he signed in January, with first-team coach McFarlane put in charge for the remainder of the season. The rest of Rosenior's backroom staff have also remained in their positions.
Despite Sunday's FA Cup semifinal against Leeds seemingly representing the last chance to salvage their campaign, McFarlane said the events of the previous few months had not been addressed.

"We've got the group focused for Sunday, the game plan and how we're going to approach the game. It's really important we have a real focus. We can't be thinking about anything else.
"What's gone on in the past doesn't need to be spoken about. It's everything geared towards Sunday."
The current run is Chelsea's worst since 1912 and has seen them almost eliminated from contention to qualify for the next season's Champions League.
Their hopes of rescuing European qualification either through their league position or by winning the cup -- and reducing the risk of the club failing to comply with UEFA's financial regulations -- now rest on the shoulders of McFarlane, whose only two games as a manager in senior football came in January when he took the team following the sacking of Enzo Maresca.
He was promoted from his former role with the under-21 side to the first-team staff by Rosenior in January.

"It's not my place to say what's gone wrong or what's gone right," he said. "My full focus is on Leeds. We've got a massive game on Sunday. All I'm thinking about is Leeds as a team, weaknesses and strengths, and how we're going to prepare."
