To be honest I won't include Chelsea's name for the title race next season, but I'm putting them to compete in the top 4 at least. I don't mean to belittle them, but with what they've shown this season, to be honest it's a job that won't be easy to get them up and challenging for the title. I assess this from a realistic angle, but I also don't rule out the possibility that they will be able to answer my doubts about them.
Now they will be working with a new coach, and usually the new coach needs time to make his strategy run smoothly at the club he is in charge of. I hope management doesn't aim high for him, because that will put pressure on him.
Pochettino joined the team to achieve high goals, that's for sure, the minimum goal for Chelsea next season will be the top 4. But Pochettino seems to me a manager who will need a lot of time to prepare the team properly. I wonder how Arsenal will perform next season, how they will cope with not being able to hold on to the top positions, will they work even harder to achieve their goal, or will it still reduce faith in their strength.
Chelsea will not aim to win the title next season. They will aim to qualify for the Champions League. Chelsea finished the season in 12th place. And so it is very difficult to stay in the top four of the table next season. Coach Pochettino is quite experienced. But I don't think Pochettino will be able to stabilize the team if Chelsea management is frugal and doesn't want to spend a lot of money to build the team. If Chelsea wants to be in the top four of the table next season, there must be consistency in performance. Otherwise, it will not be possible to be in the top four of the table.
