How Mauricio Pochettino Had Performed So Far In His New Club
Mauricio Pochettino had a difficult start at the beginning of the season, with his team creating chances and failing to hit the ball on target.
Even after the large investment by Todd Boehly in the squad, they still seem to be falling apart.
Chelsea had only gotten 12 points from 10 matches in the Premier League and are currently in the 13th position in the league.
Chelsea had a good run in the Carabao Cup, with three wins in three matches. They are currently in the quarterfinals and will face Newcastle, which is a more difficult team to play against, on December 19, 2023.
The club had been bewildered by constant injuries in every game. Two new signings, Christopher Nkunku and Romeo Lavia, haven’t played a single match this season.
The month of November may be Chelsea’s most difficult month of the year because of the more competitive fixtures coming their way.
Although the owners seem to trust his judgment and would give him more time to bring Chelsea back to its glory days.
Chelsea’s job is a bit difficult due to the expectations from the fans. Every manager that steps foot into Stamford Bridge should be ready to at least deliver a trophy.
