“I think it's about understanding the game better, trying to be more connected sometimes with the team.
“We need to give the time and the tools to improve during the season.”
Chelsea are currently in 14th place in the standings with just five points from their first five games as their expensively assembled players struggle to deliver.
They have only managed five goals in the Premier League thus far, which is their lowest output after five games in a post-1992 season since they also only scored five in 1995-96.
The team's terrible performance continues despite spending more than £1 billion on new players since Todd Boehly took over the club last year.
