Pressure on Poch
Chelsea just cannot find any consistency and pressure is surely increasing on Mauricio Pochettino. The Blues have dropped to 11th in the table following a third defeat in four matches.
The promise they showed in the 3-2 win at home to Brighton seven days ago has disappeared in back-to-back defeats. If it wasn’t for Everton’s points deduction, the Toffees would have ended the day four points clear of their opponents.
Chelsea have managed to dig out a result every time Pochettino needs them to so far this season. A rejuvenated Sheffield United visit Stamford Bridge next weekend in what could prove to be a vital game for the Argentine boss’ future.
Pochettino will hope to have Robert Sanchez fit for that one. The goalkeeper was forced off through injury late on and replaced by fellow summer signing Djordje Petrovic.
