Former Chelsea star Joe Cole expects major improvements next season under new manager Mauricio Pochettino.
Cole believes Pochettino will clearout dead wood over the summer.
"I think he's a fantastic appointment, I really do," Cole told the Daily Express. "He's a manager that assumes the club, he's a communicator and the club needs that.
"Poch is a straight-talking guy who can go in and tell the players where they stand and that's all you want as a player. He'll put his arm round the players that he feels need it, he'll give the hard truths to the players that need it and he will bring the club together.
"It's a bit disjointed at the moment, I'm sure there's some players feeling really sorry for themselves thinking about their future, a lot more than a few."
He later added: "He's got something to prove, he won't shy away from that and the players have something to prove as well. The club is ambitious, the owner wants to spend money and I think it will be a better season for Chelsea next year."
