Chelsea boss Pochettino angry over lack of effort in Burnley draw: We know the problem

Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino was furious with his players' lack of intensity in their 2-2 draw with Burnley.

Pochettino says his players didn't work hard enough when out of possession.

The Argentine complained: "It's about that they need to realise this. As a team we are missing something, that is why we are where we are.

"Today it was so clear what we miss. When we don't have the ball we need to increase our level and increase our capacity to win the ball back and not allow them to travel so easily from one area to another.

"We missed energy, we missed the capacity to deal with the situation, we missed communication between us. After Wolves the team was celebrating every single tackle and things like this that could increase our competitive level, but today we were not seeing the same energy.

"We have a clear idea in which way we need to improve. I'm not going to blame anyone, that is just the reality. That is the key and we need to attack what the team needs to improve if we want to be better."
