Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino admits he sees their clash with Bournemouth as a must-win.

While urging patience from fans, Pochettino recognises his team needs to start winning.

"We need to win and players need to feel the pressure from us," he said. "It's too early to give up or say we aren't going to achieve [what we want].

"We must keep believing because it's just the beginning.

"The team performance was good in the first months [of the season] but we didn't get the points.

"We just need time to work together, so many players arrived at the last moment, but the players believe in the way we want to play.

"What we are missing is scoring goals - the most important thing in football - but this will arrive. We want to be more competitive and we can't concede easy goals. We can't be weak in these situations."
