Chelsea striker Loic Remy has issued a warning to his teammates that unless they improve their performances, the Blues will continue to struggle near the bottom of the table.

The France international scored his first league goal of the season in the 2-1 defeat to Leicester City on Monday but was disappointed with the performance as the reigning champions lost for the ninth time already this term.

"We are disappointed because of the loss but also because we need to play much better to win a game," said Remy told the club's official website.

"It's difficult to pick one or two players who were better than any others. All the team need to improve; we need to be ready and play better.

"We have to try to be more compact, not make any mistakes and score goals, that's the main thing. We have to improve otherwise we will stay near the bottom of the table and Chelsea are not in the right position."
