Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino has called for a change of direction from the club's owners.

Pochettino was speaking after last night's 5-0 thrashing by Arsenal.

Pochettino said: "We took the risk when we arrived here. And now need to accept and we need try to be positive to help. Because if we want to be better we need to realise, be clever in the way we assess the things that we are doing, the plan.

"The strategy for the future should be better, and in our analysis try to be very clinical in our decisions for the future to help not to be in this situation in the future.

"I'm not going to blame the players. The circumstances are bigger than the performances of the players. We cannot blame young guys.

"After suffering some circumstances, you need to come here and fight against a team who is preparing to win the Premier League. That is why [we need to] be careful. We cannot be unfair with our players. Of course we are disappointed with the performance, but I am not going to use words that are unfair."
