'We didn't start badly': Pochettino explains how things went wrong vs Wolves

Speaking after the 4-2 loss to Wolves, Mauricio Pochettino said: "We didn't start badly, the game. The way we conceded the first goal; the team suffered.

"We tried to build the momentum and trust with the way we play. A difficult moment to manage after that. The energy dropped and then it was really difficult moment to manage. We concede the second goal, two own goals in the first-half.

"We feel the pressure and the stress to win, to play well, to perform, and yes, we didn't have time to build the momentum in the game, to play easy and feel confident.

"In the way we conceded the two goals, you can't afford to concede these goals. That was the feeling after Liverpool that it was affecting the team too much."

Chelsea have dropped down to 11th place in the Premier League table after suffering their second straight loss in the space of the last eight days.
