In the sixth round of the Premier League, Chelsea lost 1-0 at home to Villa. This season, Chelsea have a record of 1 win, 2 draws and 3 defeats in the Premier League, with a total of 5 points, and are 14th in the table.
Statistically, Chelsea's poor start to the season is the worst start to the Premier League's first six games since 1978/79.
Chelsea will face Carabao Cup games with Brighton and tough opponents such as Arsenal, Tottenham, Manchester City, Newcastle and Manchester United in the coming rounds. According to British journalists, Chelsea are currently facing serious injury problems.
Pochettino was 25 minutes late for a pre-match press conference at the club's training ground on Friday for talks with club partner Egbarre. Egbaly has since moved to the dressing room, although this has become a daily routine for the club's senior management when playing at Stamford Bridge.
It's too early to talk about sacking or changing coaches, but the week ahead is still challenging for the troubled Pochettino.
Italian transfer journalist Romano revealed: "Pochettino is very clear, having stressed many times before the game against Aston Villa, that this is a long-term project and that Chelsea need to face the status quo. Despite another defeat for the Blues, it was not an easy situation to face. Fans may be unhappy with Pochettino's coaching or think the team is doing badly. ”
'But within Chelsea and with Pochettino's public expression, it's a 'project', a long-term vision, despite the unsatisfactory situation and everyone including the boss understands that.
"After the home defeat to Aston Villa, Egbari addressed the players in the dressing room to convey thoughts, views and views at club level. Although no one is happy with the current situation, it is a long-term plan that needs to be moved forward with Pochettino. This reflects the attitude within Chelsea, so far. ”
