Jamie Redknapp and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink discussed Chelsea's incoming manager Mauricio Pochettino after the Blues lost 4-1 to Man United on Thursday night.
Redknapp stated that it may be difficult for Poch to get rid of the deadwood in the club but he will have to be ruthless.
"The problem is you can't just say 'I don't want you anymore, you have to go', these players they are on big contracts, this is a lot more difficult than people think.
Hasselbaink said: "He [Pochettino] might have to be ruthless, if you're not gone you might have to train at a different time with a different squad.
"You have to keep the team you want to work with separate from ones who will be disappointed. He might have to be ruthless.
"He will have to be," Redknapp added.
