Frank Lampard insists Mauricio Pochettino 'deserves patience' as Chelsea boss due to his successful track record and the Blues' levels of chance creation so far this season

Frank Lampard has insisted that Mauricio Pochettino deserves more time as Chelsea manager despite the Blues' poor start to the season.

Pochettino took over from Lampard in the summer, with the Blues' all-time leading goal scorer placed in temporary charge following the sacking of Graham Potter earlier on in the season.

He didn't enjoy too much success but at least stablised the club somewhat before optimism grew with the appointment of the Argentine in the summer.

But the hope hasn't grown into success, with Chelsea enjoying just one Premier League win from their first six matches prior to their game against Fulham on Monday evening.
