Chelsea
defender Gary Cahill admits a 'convincing win' is needed in order to
reignite the Blues' push for the title.
Jose Mourinho's side were held to a 1-1 draw by Southampton at Stamford
Bridge on Sunday - failing to capitalise on Manchester City's 1-0 defeat at
Burnley - and are now six points clear of the champions with a game in hand.
England defender Cahill is targeting Sunday's trip to Hull as a firm step in
the right direction and believes an emphatic victory can restore the
confidence lost after the shock Champions League exit to Paris St Germain
last week.
I'm sure we'll kick on. Man City dropped points and we picked up another
point. Our goal difference is good. It's by far the end of the world, but
we're looking for the next result.
The 29-year-old: "We're desperate... not desperate, it's the wrong word -
we're looking for the next convincing win, the next win, to get us back up
and running.
"We should be going out playing with freedom and not feeling the pressure.
We should be going out and enjoying it. I think that comes with winning
games. The next win I'm sure is just around the corner for us.
"We're out the competitions, apart from the Premier League. We can prepare
well. A week, which is rare for us, to prepare for the next game, which is
important.
"Playing for this club the expectations are so high. We didn't lose the
(PSG) game, we drew. All of a sudden everyone's saying 'what's happening
here?'
"As players we have to focus on the job in hand and that's the Premier
League. I'm sure we'll kick on. Man City dropped points and we picked up
another point. Our goal difference is good. It's by far the end of the
world, but we're looking for the next result.
"It's a massive opportunity for us this season, everybody knows that. Ten
games left to go now and we're in a fantastic position."
