Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino shared his thoughts on his side's performance in their 2-0 defeat to Brentford.

Manager Mauricio Pochettino was frustrated by his side's performance and poor finishing. 

"We need to blame ourselves because we weren’t nasty and clinical in front of goal.

“After the first half we should have scored, and we didn’t score. When you dominate and create chances while not conceding chances and the opponent cannot cross the halfway line, then you have to score.”
