Our chief football writer Phil McNulty has been answering the questions of BBC Sport readers.

Joey asked: Chelsea fan here. It’s refreshing to see the team performing better than last season, but where do you think there is still room for improvement?

Phil answered: Totally agree with you. I watched a Chelsea team at Liverpool yesterday that I think are really on the right road.

As for improvements, I think they need a better goalkeeper. Robert Sanchez is too vulnerable and he surely had to be more committed in the challenge on Curtis Jones when he scored Liverpool’s winner.

It would also help if a reliable goalscorer emerged, although there is no doubt Nicolas Jackson is improving.

I like what Enzo Maresca is doing, though, and I really fancy them to challenge for the top four on the evidence of what I’ve seen.
