Mauricio Pochettino has issued a stern warning to his Chelsea players following their 1-0 defeat at home to Nottingham Forest on Saturday. An uncharacteristic mistake from Moises Caicedo and Thiago Silva cost the Blues the game, leaving an irked Pochettino to lament his side's lack of concentration.
"We made one mistake and we cannot make it. That is why we feel really disappointed," he said. "Football is about not making mistakes. We made one mistake and we paid for that."
The Argentine manager was also critical of his side's lack of clinical finishing in front of goal. "We created many chances but we did not score," he added. "This Premier League is really competitive if you don't score it is difficult to win."
Pochettino was also frustrated by Chelsea's inability to break down Nottingham Forest's low block. "Congratulations to them but we were disappointed because we could not break down their low block," he said.
The defeat has only added to the pressure on the Blues, who have recently signed Cole Palmer for £42.5m. It is now up to Pochettino and his players to ensure they take their chances and not make mistakes if they are to turn their fortunes around.
