Are you serious, do you still wish Pochettino asked for a bigger budget to buy more players this season?
Todd Boehly has spent more than 1 billion dollars to build the Chelsea squad, but the results are still zero achievements. Chelsea just need to try harder and build a team out of all the players that have been brought in, but they need time.
Chelsea's performance is still not good in their last two matches, but they have certainly improved. Pochettino will have to put in a lot more effort to shape the mentality and confidence of his players in every game, but it's not an easy job that will have an impact overnight. It will take a long time to get the best form out of Chelsea, even if Chelsea are forced to add more new players to their squad.
Previously, Pochettino could not maximize the players who had been brought in in this transfer window to be able to perform optimally in the two matches they had played. And Pochettino also has some good players in terms of their experience but they were not included in the last two matches. Call it like Lukaku, He is still an official Chelsea player and at least he had good quality last season with Inter Milan but Pochettino did not include Lukaku name for this season.
I also agree with your opinion. That Chelsea has spent quite a lot of money and they should be able to maximize the quality of the players they have brought in, not to ask for a budget and buy new players again. Well if they do again this must be a big joke.
