LONDON (Reuters) - Interim Chelsea coach Bruno Saltor said his players were only human as he tried to explain their dreadful goalscoring record this season which cost Graham Potter his job as coach and was on display again in a 0-0 draw with Liverpool on Tuesday.
"Yes, we created enough chances to win the game, two goals disallowed," Saltor told reporters."The boys gave everything, they played with their heart and you can't ask for more."
Asked whether he could explain the worst scoring record by Chelsea in 99 years, despite the club's huge outlay on new players, Saltor said it was simply a question of taking opportunities with confidence.
