Mauricio Pochettino: Under-pressure Chelsea boss says he understands fans' frustrations

Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino says he understands why fans were frustrated during Saturday's draw at Brentford.

The club are 11th in the Premier League, having won just 10 games this season, and the Argentine is under growing pressure at Stamford Bridge.

"We need to accept the frustration," Pochettino said on Thursday.

During the 2-2 draw at Brentford, where a late Axel Disasi header rescued a point for the Blues, some fans chanted the name of former boss Jose Mourinho.

"Maybe if I was a fan I'd be the same because we are not matching the expectation," added Pochettino, who took charge last July.
