Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino admits he is close to getting the very best performances out of his players.
The Argentine took some time to settle at the Stamford Bridge club, taking over in the summer.
While the team are still in midtable, Pochettino admits their recent results have been a marked improvement.
He told reporters: I think for us it's a good time ahead because we love to work and we need to spend time together on and off the pitch, it's going to be an important period for us to settle our principles and ideas. We were not consistent in the first period of the competition.
We talked today in our meeting to try to find why. We were very good against Arsenal, Liverpool and struggled against teams with less quality than us and play in a different way.
That is part of the process, we are a young team, started work four months ago and we need to be more mature. We were talking about that, we need to be more patient we cannot get frustrated when things don't work when we don't create chances or score goals.
I think it happens because of expectation. Maybe creates some nerves when you play a team that is less quality than you and you rush the decision, not the best decisions on the pitch. You want to do the job of your teammate. That is about being more mature.
We are going to improve with time. More than tactical or physical, it's being more mature like a team. Liverpool vs Brentford, Chelsea vs Brentford a similar game but they have more time together and then score at the end of the game."
