There was 6 rounds played in which Chelsea won once, got 2 draws and 3 defeats. They received more goals than what they scored. The only positive match was vs Liverpool where they got a draw in the beginning of the season, we all thought that Chelsea is getting better then negative results followed quickly.
I blame Pochettino also for defeats and points loss but also players and staff. The dysfunction in this club is getting more obvious throughout years no matter how much they spent to fix it.
Just imagine losing today vs Brighton in EFL Cup and leaving it that early..
A miracle did not happen, Chelsea is as weak as last season, but why would they become stronger if so many strong players left the team. There is no point in hoping that Pochettino will be able to change something and the team will start winning, it is a long process, and although Pochettino is an excellent coach, without top players he will not get any good results, the Premier League has become too strong a championship.
If they lose to Brighton today, it won't be surprising either, Brighton are in great form, they beat Newcastle and Manchester United, and are currently third in the standings, so you understand everything.
