Chelsea need to be 'more ruthless', says left-back Chilwell

Chelsea's spending in the final week of the transfer window took their total outplay on new players to over £1 billion in little over a year since a takeover fronted by Todd Boehly.

The LA Dodgers co-owner's consortium has bet big on young players on lengthy contracts coming good in the long term. But patience is wearing thin at Stamford Bridge as a miserable start to Mauricio Pochettino's reign has followed a disastrous campaign under four different managers last season.

Chelsea left-back Benjamin Chilwell gave an interview to his current club's press to talk about the Blues' current situation and said they are "moving in the right direction".

"We are moving in the right direction. 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," he claimed.

"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," he added.
