Oriol Romeu has assured Chelsea supporters that the club is heading in the right direction despite the 0-0 draw with Fulham on Wednesday night.

Romeu was drafted in for John Obi Mikel last night, the former Barcelona youngster adding more quality in possession but without much penetration. The 21-year-old admitted he needed to help Chelsea counter-attack more quickly if they were to create more chances. "The counter-attack is a good point to kill the opponents and I think we can do it a bit quicker," he said. "And, if we can do it, we can get chances a little bit better. "So, we will try to improve that point and obviously we have a few more points to get better." In fairness to Romeu, he has enjoyed only a handful of starts since Andre Villas-Boas was replaced by Roberto Di Matteo back in March, but he said: "I'm young, I'm fit to play 90 minutes, so that's not a problem. "The only thing you want is to play, no matter how many minutes you are on the pitch."
