Rafa Benitez says that Chelsea need a new approach and not a change in personnel to get them scoring again.

Chelsea manager Rafael Benitez feels that his team need a change in approach rather than personnel to get them scoring again.

Following their stalemate with Manchester City on Sunday, the Blues failed to find the back of the net on Wednesday night as they drew 0-0 with Fulham at Stamford Bridge.

Benitez is still awaiting his first goal as the club's manager, but believes that he doesn't need to start changing his players around.

"I saw a lot of positive things, sustaining the attacks and regaining the ball very high," Benitez said.

"I didn't like the two chances we gave away on the counter-attack, and when we didn't move the ball too quickly, but it's a question of time.

"We have to link with our attacking players and we have to do it quicker. If you give the defenders time to reorganise it is always harder, even with the players we have. The shape of the team is OK, but we have to play with a little bit more tempo and quicker for the players that we have up front."

Chelsea travel to West Ham United on Saturday.
