According to football.london, João Pedro has said that Chelsea's attacking line, comprising himself, Palmer and Morgan Rogers, is very threatening, but the team still needs to improve after a 2-2 draw against Hull City.

On Saturday, Morgan Rogers helped Chelsea take a quick lead at Stamford Bridge, but poor defending allowed Mohamed Belloumi of Hull City to equalize in under half an hour. Minutes later, Belloumi scored again, and Xabi Alonso's side appeared headed for another defeat.

Midway through the second half, João Pedro equalized from Palmer's cross, saving face for Chelsea, but Alonso's team ultimately dropped two points.

João Pedro said: "I think we started very well. We pressed them and controlled the match, but we need to improve on the details. That's very important for us, so we need to analyze and improve."

"We need to adapt quickly because we know what the Premier League is about. If you drop points, it will be difficult to catch up at the end. We need to adapt as soon as possible."

Chelsea's defense showed problems on a single Hull City attack. Malo Gusto hesitated while dealing with a long pass to the corner flag, then weakly attempted to prevent Ryan Giles from crossing the ball into the box. Jorrell Hato seemed uncertain whether to contest the ball or wait for it to drop, ultimately doing neither. After the ball bounced over his head, Belloumi arrived and scored the equalizer.

Then Semi Ajayi headed a corner against the crossbar. Goalkeeper E. Martínez lost his balance trying to save, and the ball bounced to Belloumi, whose shot was deflected into the net.

João Pedro said: "We know that if they take the lead, they will drop deep and wait for us to push forward to counter. It was a difficult match. In the end, we got 1 point, but we need to improve, and I think we will improve quickly."

The Brazilian striker has scored 3 goals in 4 appearances this season, and Chelsea's attack remains very formidable. The attacking line comprising Pedro, Rogers and Palmer has maintained good form and chemistry, which has been a major feature of Alonso's early tenure, though their efforts were ultimately undone by chaos elsewhere on the pitch.

Regarding his goal, João Pedro said: "When Palmer passed me the ball, I just wanted to direct it well, and I'm happy I struck it cleanly."

"I really appreciate it because they (Palmer and Rogers) are both very good players. I know that as long as we are close together on the pitch, we will be very dangerous. We proved it again."
