.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.

Chelsea's performance has again achieved poor results and it is very natural that Pochettino is in the sharp spotlight and has received a lot of criticism. because from six matches Chelsea are still slumped in the middle of the standings, they are ranked fourteenth with a collection of five points.

Chelsea only won one win from six matches in the EPL, the only victory Chelsea achieved was against promoted team Luton Town. Of course, these results are very unsatisfactory. Moreover, Chelsea spent big in the transfer market last summer. I think if Pochettino can't improve this situation, Chelsea might look for a new coach if Pochettino continues to get bad results in the next match. So it cannot be compared to Klopp at Liverpool, he was never as bad as Chelsea, he can learn from mistakes.

Don't you think it's a little early to draw that conclusion? Pochettino, in my opinion, is still in the squad-building stage, even if he doesn't have all the time for it right now because time is not on anyone's side if he wants to end well this season. Chelsea have not been playing particularly poorly in terms of football performance; what they need is the ability to blend together, understand each other, and utilise this to their advantage in winning games. I don't think there's a position where they don't have a good or even an average player, that they can’t win matches.

How long will Chelsea fans continue to believe in the system? Is it after it is crystal clear that the team is headed for relegation? The more quickly a decision is made, the better for the Chelsea team. Chelsea cannot carry on as a mediocre team that other clubs can exploit the three points from them by simply winning them whether home or away match. 

The one concern I have with Pochettino's firing is who would be a better coach to take over, as I am starting to realize that the Chelsea owners don't have an eye for a good coach. They might wind up hiring a mediocre coach who cannot properly position the Chelsea players. That's my only fear about Pochettino been fired out of Chelsea team.

Brighton is doing great this year as well, it will certainly be a troubled game for them and the likely outcome would be Brighton winning as well. I have to say it is going to be hard to continue with this, we need to realize that Chelsea needs a bigger overhaul than just players, spending money like crazy is not the way to go and they must have figured that out by now. They can't just get one star player neither, because when rest are bad, you can't have that.

So, they need something that will change the club structure, and a new manager is not the solution as we have seen with the past 3 managers so far. They need some fundamental changes, and you can't do that during the season itself, and failed at it during summer as well.

You are right, in Chelsea today; there are 0 foundations and there's even nothing to build on because half the defense line are injured; half the midfield are not elite or experienced players and there's only Thiago Silva who is older amongst the youngsters in Stamford bridge; for any coach; the job at Chelsea is designed to get them sacked.

There are Carabao cup games this mid weeks; do you have picks or any ties that may interest you? Do you think Chelsea can qualify to the next round ?

Yes 8 different people made this goal new history. But I'm surprised with Sheffield United they are very bad. Kieran Trippier who became the best player he gave three passes that became goals. Newcastle's performance was actually not very good at the beginning of this season. They didn't get much spending funds, so no star players came. This result can certainly make them more confident playing in UCL. After the draw with Milan they will play against PSG.

I am not surprised by this fact because basically the quality of the Chelsea team is no better than Newcastle, Aston Villa or West Ham. Chelsea are verry bad to be expected to be as impressive as their fans expect, meaning they are still in sleep mode for their last 6 matches even though he was able to win 5 points. LOL

The team is still devastated by the bad results it has suffered, but Pochettino still has hope of improving it if he is still trusted to serve as coach until the end of the season. Changes in strategy and player rotation are needed instead of relying on expensive squads to drop points in relatively easy matches.

Indeed, there has not been the slightest change from last season, in fact this season could be said to be worse under Pochettino, Chelsea only won one win from the first six Premier League matches this season. The only win was against newly promoted Luton Town, and if it wasn't for the promoted side I'm sure Chelsea wouldn't have picked up a single win.
And there's no point in Chelsea spending a lot of money in the transfer market last summer, and Pochettino must be responsible for all Chelsea's bad things. And reportedly Pochettino is still given time to improve the situation and if nothing changes, it is very likely that he will be replaced.

You have to understand me correctly, of course because I don't mean to say the quality of both teams is the same but that some of the players have the same quality. Liverpool certainly have many players whose quality and experience are much better than Chelsea's current young squad, this clearly differentiates the two teams as a whole and I will not dispute that fact.

What has been proven so far in Chelsea's last 6 matches is; Pochettino has not really been able to create a good playing character for Chelsea. I think Chelsea is still losing the identity of their game and Pochettino really needs a lot of time to get it back. There are many matches still waiting for them in the Premier League, so the hope is definitely there.


Do you agree that there are certain individual or group interest factors in Chelsea's transfer approach so far?
I might agree that the player transfer business to Chelsea has been very important, this is reflected in how easily they spend a lot of money on mediocre players.

There have been many bad signings made by Chelsea so far, as a result they have difficulty forming a solid team capable of competing closely in the standings. Pochettino is still having difficulty finding his best line-up, but he still has time to experiment.
