Chelsea fans have been left wondering what Mauricio Pochettino says during his half-time team talks as they failed to hold on to a lead once again in their disappointing draw to 10-man Burnley.
Based on first-half displays this season, Chelsea would be ninth in the table having held the lead going into the break eight times.
However, Chelsea have the third-worst record in the league in the second half this campaign.
From the 27 matches prior to the game against Burnley, Chelsea have lost 14 second halves, winning just seven.
