Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino issued a dressing room rallying cry after their loss to Aston Villa.
The Stamford Bridge club are in a period of crisis, sitting in 14th place in the Premier League.
After an opening spell of three defeats from their opening six games, Chelsea now face a run of even tougher matches.
Pochettino stated in his press conference: We are a young team that is in process needing to learn altogether. It is difficult to talk about positives because when you lose it is difficult.
We need to talk about positive things, we need to keep the positives in. There's no doubt with time the team is going to perform. Of course I cannot hide the situation, it's a situation that disappoints all of the fans, the club, us and the players.
[We need to] give trust and then confidence. We have the squad that we have. We cannot change anything.
We try to build the confidence and to give them all of the support that they need because they need to perform on the pitch."
