Pochettino has attempted to ease the pressure on his players, who were booed by travelling supporters after their draw with Bournemouth.
Asked why sections of the Chelsea support turned toxic, the Argentine said: “Because of expectation, no? I think the fans know if you invest the type of money people create in the media, okay, it is true, but this is an expectation.
“If you don’t win it is normal that the fans are not happy. But what i can tell the fans is the circumstance, that we cannot change, the reality we cannot change. We have too many players (out), of course we are a team that will be strong if we are all together.
“Even Manchester City, Arsenal, all the teams, with normal circumstances with all the squad fit of course can compete for everything. Why is it different for us? Why? It is because of what?”
