The problem for Chelsea is when they still can't find a strategy that really suits them which makes their performance sometimes difficult to guess whether they will be in good condition or not.
They have been very good at dominance and possession but their attack still looks the same as last season which always had problems with scoring instincts.
Jackson must be able to prove himself more now because he is one of the hopeful players for Chelsea in terms of goals as for the midfield I think they are still quite good at dictating the game.

Mauricio Pochettino should enlighten the fans on the present conditions of Chelsea. I'm clueless about the level of concentration and starting point of the blues' problems. They had all it took to win Garibaldis today, but they failed to capitalize on their opportunities. It was a terrible defensive performance that allowed Taiwo Awoniyi and Elanga to intrude into their territory. Chelsea lost again, and it was incredibly disappointing to see the Blues lose to a mediocre side. Nottingham Forest keep Chelsea at range with a defensive and counter-attacking approach.

I still think this massive overhaul is problematic even though it looks good, but of course with some new players and coaches, it will be like going back to the beginning and starting again and again every season if it continues.
Chelsea's play in terms of possession and initiation from the midfielders is good enough, now it's just a matter of focusing on how they don't waste opportunities.
On the other hand at the moment I don't want to defend Pochettino but we want something instant in the few matches Chelsea have had, I am quite aware that a turnaround in performance is a good thing but Pochettino needs at least 1 season I think for a good turnaround because at the moment with their poor finish last season it is very difficult to want a significant change to be able to perform well and become a champion candidate. The dream is too good to be true.
