Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino was disappointed by the lack of a final touch against Wolves. The defeat once again highlighted Chelsea's plight of not taking their chances this season, which has also led to them currently sitting tenth in the Premier League table. In the game, Raheem Sterling and Nicholas Jackson both squandered crucial chances that ultimately cost Chelsea.
Mario Lemina and Matt Doherty scored for Wolves, while Christopher Nkunku netted a consolation goal for Chelsea. Pochettino admits his side need to improve significantly in terms of final strikes, but also stressed that young attacking players need more time to adapt and gain confidence. Chelsea's failure to take chances has been a recurring problem this season and Mauricio Pochettino admits the team need to score to win games.
He also highlighted the team's defensive fragility as they conceded goals from set-pieces and corners. Pochettino believes these experiences will serve as lessons for the younger team who will continue to learn and grow throughout the season. Despite the loss, Chelsea remain tenth in the Premier League table, although Wolves are currently tied with them. Chelsea's next game is against Crystal Palace, followed by an away game against Luton Town. Pochettino hopes that his team will be able to ** and improve their attacking effectiveness to achieve positive results in the upcoming matches.
