'Chelsea Players Not Mature Enough' – Pochettino
Mauricio Pochettino says Chelsea are "not mature enough" to compete every three days

Chelsea boss, Mauricio Pochettino has suggested that the set of players at his disposal are not mature enough to compete.
Following their midweek 4-3 victory over Manchester United, the Blues played out a 2-2 draw against relegation-bound Sheffield United on Sunday.
The Blues conceded the second equalizer in the 93rd minute at Bramall Lane.
"At 52, you identify really quickly whether the team is ready to compete or not,” he told reporters after the game.
“Maybe this group is not mature enough to compete in games every three days.
“It’s a new team and we are still learning about their profiles. The process always takes time”.
Chelsea have spent more than £1bn in four transfer windows since being taken over by Clearlake Capital, with reports claiming their latest splurge was restricted only to players 25 and under as part of a wider strategy.
That has left Pochettino, the third permanent manager under this ownership, with one of the youngest squads in Europe. He says this explains the stop-start form and called for further investment this summer to address their issues.
