Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino has vowed to be more selective with his language.

The Argentine has come in for some criticism from supporters for the way he has spoken about the club's circumstances.

Pochettino admits that he does have a habit of being a little too honest when asked questions by reporters.

Asked about his tone, he said: “Being honest, it is true that it is a special season for us because we are suffering [a lot of injuries] at the moment.

“But we need to stop talking because, for me, talking about this in the press conference is so boring. We need to stop, adapt, and accept reality. We need to be positive with the players we have and the young kids who have come through the academy.

“We will try to be competitive and win the game on Monday. We need to accept, be positive and train with young guys from the academy.

“They might step up, and players that we didn't count on could surprise us and be good players and profiles for Chelsea. When this type of situation happens, another door opens."
