Mauricio Pochettino must be 'RUTHLESS' to trim down Chelsea's bloated squad, says Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, who says unwanted players should train away from first-team if they can't be sold

Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink and Jamie Redknapp have issued a scathing review of Chelsea's current situation after the Blues limped to a 4-1 defeat against Manchester United on Thursday evening.

Frank Lampard's side failed to ignite a match-winning performance as the hosts capitalised on chances in front of goal, while Chelsea spurned golden opportunities and left themselves exposed to counter-attacks.

Former player Hasselbaink watched on at Old Trafford and has told the next incoming manager, believed to be Mauricio Pochettino, to get ruthless with the players he doesn't feel are up to standard.
