Chelsea’s Defeat and League Position

The defeat against Everton has pushed Chelsea into the bottom half of the table. The team’s lack of progress this season has raised concerns. When asked about the situation, Pochettino acknowledged the challenges of building a new team and expressed the need for improvement in the second half of the season to achieve the results that a club like Chelsea deserves.

Pochettino stated, “It’s a new project, it’s a new team. Too many circumstances. It’s tough to explain. Too many problems and circumstances for the season. It’s not easy to build something new. Reality now, we are thinking is different. It’s about to take decisions, being strong in how we assess the season and to improve in the second part of the season, be more competitive and to get the results a club like Chelsea deserves.”
