Is it our inability to finish that has cost us again or is it squad depth?

Stamford Chidge is joined by Chelsea legend Kerry Dixon to look back at last weekends disappointing draw against West Ham and look ahead to Saturday's match against relegation threatened Southampton.Antonio Conte believes that the draw against West Ham encapsulated the season: creating chances; failing to kill teams off - does Kerry agree or is the bigger problem a soft underbelly in midfield and a lack of character or leadership? Will a change in manager sort things out and is a clear out of the players necessary?Given Chelsea's form this year Saints away is no walk over but does Kerry think we have enough to come away with a win?
