 As it stands, Mauricio Pochettino will prove he's worthy to remain coach at Stamford Bridge if he's able to succeed in their next 8 games ( Brighton, Fulham, Burnley, Arsenal, Brentford, Tottenham Hotspur, Man City and Newcastle). And with their performance of late, it's safe to conclude that it will be more bleak days ahead for him.
Aston villa really showed class and precision against them during the weekend games and with 15 total goal attempts, 7 were on goal, while Chelsea had 10, only one was on goal which meant the remaining nine were wasted shots. If you saw the game, you'd be convinced that Chelsea needs help and if cares not taken, the season they might well go on to relegation.
 Sitting at 14th place, they've only won a game out of six matches played and this is not a record Todd Boehly will be impressed with but then again, fingers are pointing in his direction as somehow, their lack of incompetence has a way to circle back to him. I mean, how will an owner be the only one calling the shots? He's just a businessman and no football expert so in a way Chelsea's problem was caused by their owner.

After last year's poor ranking, fans of course expected better performance this year, but we saw that Chelsea started to lose blood when they started to send some important players from the team at the beginning of the year. Their places could not be easily filled. They seem to be missing a striker and are having great trouble scoring goals. They will have to deal with this problem.

The actors look really good. Last year's squad was like this, too. They were very good in terms of staff quality, but things did not go the way they wanted. They finished the season with a very bad ranking. Even though they made a hopeful start this year, they still haven't gotten the results they wanted. I'm afraid that if this situation continues, the reputation they have gained in England will begin to shake and they will have to live in days far from their old days.

It's really sad how Chelsea has become this weak and fail to win matches, I mean it's beginning to seem they get worse by every game they play Instead of improving as one would expect of them , it's really sad how the good old days when watching a Chelsea game comes with so much of excitement are all gone just like that, now watching Chelsea games comes with heartbreaks.

When pochettino made the promises of improvement this season it brought alive the hope of fans as they all became very expectant due to the fact that the later part of last season got fans really unhappy with results they saw, it was expected that so much will change as new player where bought and other changes were made aswell, all this brought about hope to fans.

The fact that desired results are not seen after every game Chelsea had played recently is really sad and has aswell raised concerns already as to if it's a problem from the players or coach or most likely an administrative issues but then the main issues at hand is them not giving better results as compared to last season, the coach really needs to work on getting better results or may stand to put his job on the line.

What kind of plan is it? I see no plan being made by chelsea. Did you mean put levy as left back, chilwell as left wing are plans by chelsea? That's the worst thing that i have ever seen to put the players in non their actual positions.
Chelsea is relegation standard now. No goals since the match against forst. It's a shame for 1 billion club. I would not even call that as a plan. Chelsea doesn't have plan. Im watching chelsea like i watch the football school.
It's bullshit. Any decisions by poch during the game actually non sense decision.


It's probably in management, owner, players and manager. What i can see from pochettino if he keeps contradict himself from day by day caused by chelsea was suffering more and more bad results.
Chelsea was ruining the mental stability from its fans.

Arteta and Pochetino are two different coaches with different styles and different formations altogether. This Chelsea team needs someone who is young  and vibrant,they spent so much on the team this transfer window,and so the fans and the whole club needs happiness.I feel for Pochetino because I know Chelsea board are not always patient enough to see the potentials in the coaches they higher,rather,the moment they find out that the coaches they higher aren't making the team win games,they sack them immediately,and if that happens to Pochetino,it will be terribly bad.

I think one thing that's pretty sure about the former owner will be that pochettino by this period would have sacked mindless even if Chelsea doesn't have the manpower to deliver. Abramovich doesn't tolerate bull shits and will definitely not have his club to be under such state because he will surely make changes to the management of the team and as for the hope about performance good at the preseason, for me I think that doesn't work out at all.

Haaland is a goal monster who never takes his two eyes off his opponent's goalpost when he has the ball with him. His participation in the Manchester City team is something else entirely. He'll likely win the Premier League's top goal-scorer award once more.
We can't yet analyze the teams who will win the Premier League title because the league is still in its early stages. As we progressed further in the premier league matches, teams we hope for may perform worse due to injuries of their key players. However, Manchester City appears unstoppable right now than every other team.

Come on man, that’s harsh! Wow!! That’s not acceptable even for me!!!
Thinking that Chelsea wouldn’t make it to the top 7 or 10 on the league is just too much. I feel Chelsea could make it yo the Europa even. I really do think that of them and the team is well positioned this season than last season.

Like, they’ve brought in someone who seems to seek goals in the likes of N. Jackson and Chelsea are doing there but in trying to get points from there not so difficult fixtures. The season is just begone even with over 6 games played and I think somewhere along the line, Chelsea would pick up. That’s what it was for Manchester United last season, Pochettino could do that with the current Chelsea squad.

.what Chelsea need right now is results, so anything other than that, no one will listen to you, i remember i use to statement back then before the present coach came on board, which is that, any coach that will pick up the offer of becoming Chelsea coach will have tonbe from fhs internala club structures, Chelsea have lost a lot of potential offer to other clubs are ready and willing to join that part na.

It's hard to say whether this is the time to rid of him or not. Im thinking todd may give him more time to prove himself but it's dilemma for the club if chelsea will keep lose more points instead of earning points.


Impossible to happen. I don't even think if chelsea can reach the 10th position this season. Chelsea's performance literally even worst compared with last season. This club has easiest run but chelsea was missing a lot of points against weak clubs.
Im waiting for chelsea to face harder fixtures probably next months.

There's no signal if todd will sack him. It's really painful to see this club becomes nothing after spending 1 billion.
It's also chelsea's fault by buying so many non experienced players.

I'm not a Chelsea fannso it's surprising to see that Pochettino hasn't been shown the door given the poor performances this season which is in close contrast to Chelsea's performance for last season as well. I think the only senior player Chelsea has right now is Thiago Silva and he's not the team's captain not like that is the actual reason for their poor performance but someone that experienced in such a position could do much more good to the young players in the team.

I know we're all for supporting Pochettino till he finds his feet and get this team back to winning ways but it's important to remember his failures with Tottenham, PSG and now Chelsea. If anything, Arteta is working with some of the youngest players in the league and his team is winning games every other week.

I don't even see Chelsea's plan as good this season, especially when releasing so many senior players and some players who can actually still be retained, it already makes me less sure about the planning Chelsea is doing this season. Indeed, when seeing a new coach, Pochettino must want to make some updates that will be carried out according to the plans he will do but by selling players who already have experience in the EPL and letting new players immediately play in the EPL with hot competition I think it's a careless act.

Talking about Management should now be what should be thought of because trying to replace several players and coaches until now does not get any results then the wrong is the management that is not competent to find players and coaches that fit Chelsea's criteria.

Chelsea has a good plan but the scenario is different when the EPL has started, this is already a lot of disappointment because the results continue to deteriorate there is no change at all.... They are now experiencing a lot of demands after spending so much money while Pochettino as head coach still cannot bring Chelsea to a straight path.

Don't know maybe the management? But they have spent a lot of money whichever player they buy. - Is it maybe because the players don't have confidence when at Chelsea? All of that must be overcome as a form of Pochettino must complete it.

If you bet on a coach who can only work with young players, then you can put a big fat cross on Chelsea's prospects of being a leader in the coming seasons. Young people are unstable and can break down both mentally and physically at the most inopportune moment. And I'm not sure that then Chelsea fans will be happy again and will again be foaming at the mouth to demand the dismissal of a specialist in young players. Still, Chelsea of the Abramovich era spoiled the team's fans with their titles, so my personal advice to such impatient fans is to be patient and let Pochettino work quietly. Still, the depth of the fall and mistakes with the team's equipment last season cannot be corrected by a dashing cavalry charge.

It may be difficult to win against Sheffield more than 8 goals, but I'm sure it is not impossible for Man City or other top teams in EPL. We don't know what's happening in the next matches. If one Sheffield player got red card in the first half of the next matches, they can conceded more than 8 goals when they against strong teams like Man City or Liverpool.

However, winning with 8 goals is something very impressive. It is the best match for Newcastle in EPL so far.

If we consider their current position (8th place) and the teams that stays in the top 5 now (Man City, Arsenal, Liverpool, Tottenham, Brighton), it will be difficult for Newcastle to return to the top 4. Losing too many points in early of this season become a big obstacle for Newcastle to repeat their good history in the last season. Moreover, their current performance isn't as stable as in the last season. So, I'm sure that they won't target to finish this season in the top 4 (UCL zone) anymore.

Chelsea isn't having the dream team they plan for .... I'm afraid pochettino  might be scared things ain't working out just yet - atleast since he had given the whole club and fans a reassurance during the pre-season about the club's improvement.... So pathetic!
I'm always wondering what would be of him if the club was still under its former owner... But I still believe if he compares every players ability, he can possibly resolve the problem of incompetency.

I feel pity for Sheffield, Burnley and Luton Town because I don't understand how they are going to make it out of relegation this season in the Premier League, the three teams have only drawn 1 match out of all the rounds they have played and it's astonishing how the 3 of them top the Championship that made it to the Premier League, I don't think the teams have matured players that can manipulate their ways out of the already established teams here, 8 conceded goals is total discouragement to watch their next match except they have a fixture against the club I love to watch, Newcastle did a nice Christmas with them, I'm not sure how Manchester City is going to deal with these teams. 


Whenever you tell people that Haaland has turned the Premier League into the Farmers League, they get upset over a little joke but that is the truth. I don't see any team in that League that has shown any interest in dragging the title with Manchester City, only Liverpool is showing some great results but even with that, it is too early to give much credit, only long term results will determine if they can contest with Manchester City or not, Arsenal is gradually fading out unlike the last season they were hunting Guardiolla back to back.

The last few games that Chelsea just played are all games that Chelsea should win easily because they were playing against teams that aren't in the top of their game or among the big clubs. Chelsea has throwaway all the  chances to get easy points and for the next few games they will be playing teams in top form starting from Brighton that we have in the EPL cup during the midweek. It's going to be a rough couple of weeks for Chelsea because we mightn't win any of the upcoming games and that's just going to put more pressure on Pochettino and I feel bad for him. He's trying his best but so far he hasn't been able to motivate the boys enough to play for him and the injuries he's having with his star players aren't helping matters. If the likes of Reece James and Nkunku were fit, I'm certain we would have won most of the games we have lost so far.


Something tells me all or most of the players Chelsea signed last season aren't Pochettino choices because he's a coach that goes after experience instead of talent and that's why he's finding it difficult to trust the youngsters at Chelsea to deliver him results but at this point I think he needs to let go of his philosophy and try those players we bought in the transfer window so we can see if they can give him results in the upcoming games. Chelsea has been playing badly and it's very frustrating because we spent so much last transfer window than all clubs that are doing better than us. It's just a matter of time before the fans starts to panick and pour all their anger towards the agenda to sack the manager because many thinks that, it's always the problem. Pochettino should start packing because it is about time he goes.

I think it was a major blow for Sheffield this season and I believe Newcastle's winning record of scoring 8 goals will be very difficult for other teams including Manchester City to break throughout this season. I agree Newcastle will be very motivated from that win, but they have a game against Manchester City for the EFL Cup before the end of the month.

So far Newcastle have taken 10 points, but I believe they will probably not repeat the same form as last season by ending the season in the Champions League zone. Many people have doubts about Newcastle, but if they can improve their quality then of course Newcastle can compete for that too.
