Yes they have a lot of players and have also brought in some good names too. Imo Chelsea will make the UCL. I’m so sure of this but they won’t win the league. They don’t have European distractions. Pochettino have given them a sense of play and they’re bonding and finding the rhythm this preseason. They will make the CL, people are underestimating what being totally out of Europe brings in term of squad's fitness. It's three teams that one can boldly say are ahead of them.
The results of pre-season matches cannot be used as a benchmark, now the Chelsea squad is filled with new players and there is no evidence that they will be much better and consistent.
I admit that Pochettino is an experienced and good coach in the Premier League, but what you have to remember is that the light in the Premier League is very tight, there are several teams that will compete hard to get to the top of the standings, and if you look at the player material that Chelsea currently have this makes me a little pessimistic.
Well yesterday Chelsea made a good performance against Fulham which is one of the teams that Chelsea in the last season had difficulties to play against and this for me is a good sign for them.I know that these are just friendly matches where the coaches are trying different setups of the team and different players so they can create a clear idea which is the best eleven to play in the upcoming season yet it is still some sort of test and in this test Chelsea played very well and won 2-0.Pochettino has already made some improvements to Chelsea and we will have to see the real Chelsea on August 12 when the Premier League starts.
