This was stated by the former Premier League player while underlining a big issue for Chelsea.
On Saturday, Pochettino’s Blues were defeated 1-0 at home by Nottingham Forest.
Forest won 1-0 at Stamford Bridge thanks to a strike from Anthony Elanga.
Chelsea has now won just one of their four games this season.

“It happened again today, they never looked like scoring a goal,” Merson stated while watching the game for Sky Sports.
“It’s disheartening. Because of the pace of Nicolas Jackson and Raheem Sterling, I believe they will be OK away from home when teams have a go.
“This has been going on for a couple of years now, trying to break down teams.”
“But it was slow for the next 30-50 minutes, and the fans were getting frustrated.” Mauricio Pochettino’s task is to get this team up and running.”
