Chelsea news, exclusives and analysis<\/p>\n

Pochettino arrived as Chelsea head coach this summer, tasked with turning the club\u2019s fortunes around after a horrific 12th-placed top-flight finish last term.<\/p>\n

But Chelsea\u2019s nightmare shows no sign of ending with the west Londoners having won just one of their opening six Premier League games so far this season.<\/p>\n

The Blues hosted Villa at Stamford Bridge this weekend but once again put in a poor performance and lost 1-0 with Malo Gusto sent off before Ollie Watkins\u2019 winner.<\/p>\n

Pochettino was quizzed specifically about summer signing Jackson after the match \u2013 who once again failed to score and picked up his fifth yellow card of the season \u2013 meaning he is now suspended for Chelsea\u2019s next game.<\/p>\n

Jackson joined the Blues from Villarreal in a \u00a330m deal and much pressure has been placed on the 22-year-old striker\u2019s shoulders given Chelsea\u2019s goalscoring problems, with the Senegal star registering just one goal to his name so far.<\/p>\n

Asked about Jackson following defeat to Villa, Pochettino said: \u2018We were talking, we need to grow up like a team.<\/p>\n
