The Brazilian World Cup winner made a stunning start to life in Premier League club management, gaining plaudits for his side's free-flowing football and his relaxed, modest demeanour when dealing with the media.
Chelsea have set a hot pace in the title race, albeit matched by Liverpool, since the start of the season with a bulging goal difference and a 100 percent away league record.
He had a legitimate gripe about the first of Robin van Persie's two goals but he did not shy away from his side's own shortcomings either as they dropped their 12th home point.
"It's a problem in our last three games," Scolari said about his side's lack of goal threat. "We scored one goal but we only had one or two chances.
"We don't shoot outside the area or inside the area and we are not building the play to arrive in front (of goal), this is our mistake.
"Yes, I'm worried. I'm sad not happy. I think we are not playing very well. Sometimes you are unlucky. We are giving chances for the big teams at home."
They were then bundled out of the League Cup on penalties by Championship (second division) Burnley and drew 0-0 with Newcastle United. Now Arsenal have resurrected their ailing season at the Bridge thanks to van Persie's smash and grab raid.
His side are badly missing the midfield drive of the injured Michael Essien while Joe Cole's niggling injuries often rob Scolari of the flair needed to unlock defences.
Injured Ricardo Carvalho's calm assurance is missed at the back but the biggest problem for Scolari is the stop-start season of striker Didier Drogba.
The Ivorian is still serving a three-match ban for throwing a coin at Burnley fans and the sooner Chelsea can call on his pace, power and hold-up play the better if Scolari's mood is not to darken further.
