Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti has warned his players that they will have to stop taking their foot off the accelerator during games if they are to successfully retain their Premier League crown. <img alt="" src="/imagedata/2010/oct/Carlo-Ancelotti.jpg" border="5" /> Carlo Ancelotti Ancelotti takes his team to Blackburn today knowing that his team have under-performed in their last two league matches away from home. Chelsea have taken advantage of a number of slip-ups by their rivals to establish a five-point gap at the top of the table with almost a quarter of the season gone. Yet the Blues boss, who clinched the title last season in his first year in charge, has voiced his concerns recently that his team are not performing to their potential. Ancelotti thinks his team will have to be more ruthless in closing out matches if they are to claim victory in the key battles against Liverpool, Tottenham, Manchester United and Arsenal that lie ahead. "We have started the season well but I think we can play better because we played very well in some parts of some games but not continuously," the Italian said. "We have to play 90 minutes how we want to play. We have to improve our play and our intensity. We can't just play for 45 minutes like we did against Wolves. We want to play well for the whole of the match and we haven't been able to do that so far this season."
