Chelsea suffered a shock 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest at Stamford Bridge. The Blues had 21 shots compared to Forest’s seven but only two of Chelsea’s shots were on target.

Chelsea left-back Ben Chilwell insists Chelsea needs to be more ruthless in front of goal.

“We are moving in the right direction,” Chilwell told Chelsea’s official website.

“Every game we have controlled possession and the majority of matches we have played well. We need to finish chances, be more ruthless and stay composed to get back into games.

“That’s the final bit, finishing our chances. If you look at the stats we dominated the game, had the possession, but the most important stat is the goals. We lost in that department and lost the game, that is the black and white of it.”

Chilwell believes results will improve once Pochettino’s new-look squad become more familiarised.

“It is a very new team still and a lot of new players still trying to find their feet at a new club,” Chilwell added.

“You have to understand their playing styles but it is a game we still should be winning. No excuses. We will hopefully turn this round as the confidence grows.”
