Head coach Mauricio Pochettino feels Chelsea are \u201cmissing something\u201d and has hinted the club will look to recruit new players in January following Sunday\u2019s 2-0 defeat at Everton. Sunday\u2019s result at Goodison Park, which leaves the Blues 12th in the table, followed a 2-1 midweek loss to Manchester United as Pochettino suffered successive defeats for the first time as Chelsea head coach. Chelsea has signed 17 players this summer including the likes of Nicolas Jackson and Robert Sanchez, but Pochettino has suggested more may be needed next month.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter the first half of the season, we need to check. That is the reality. If we are not receiving enough, maybe we need to do some movement. That is the thing to analyse with the sporting directors, to see if we can change this dynamic and improve in the second half of the season,\u201d Pochettino was quoted by Premier League website. \u201cWe didn\u2019t score (against Everton). I think we dominated the game, we were the better side, but if you don\u2019t score goals it is difficult to win the games. We were not aggressive enough in the last third.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe need to be more aggressive. Then it\u2019s a massive assessment and when the transfer window opens, we will see what we can do. I won\u2019t say if I am going to ask for more or less players. It\u2019s to see if the perception matches the reality. We are missing something. We need to improve our reality,\u201d he added. Chelsea will hope to bounce back when they host Sheffield United on Saturday at Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
