Chelsea only mistake when losing to Nottingham Forest was due to poor finishing due to not being able to maximize the opportunities they had. Chelsea was able to dominate the match with ball possession reaching 73%, Chelsea was also able to make 21 attempts and several of them were on goal.
Luck has not been on Chelsea side, they had to suffer their second defeat this season after previously losing to West Ham. The injury storm also greatly affected Chelsea appearance, Pochettino had to lose several of his mainstay players which made him have to develop a strategy with several substitute players.
Chelsea has a complex issue regarding its performance rather than just being bad due to injuries to several players. I have to say that many of their new signings have not been fully adapted properly which in turn has not kept Chelsea in top form, so that is a cause Pochettino needs to fix immediately.
If Pochettino can do something better in the dressing room then I think Chelsea will be even better. I don't know if Pochettino is capable of doing it, but he is a pretty serious type of coach. Pochettino has to solve very basic problems, so he doesn't have to think that his playing strategy is not good. Of course I expected a better performance from Chelsea, but I admit Pochettino is still having difficulty making it happen.
Adaptation shouldn't be a big obstacle to find excuses for their failure at the start of this season. However, it seems that this backfired for Chelsea because their purchasing record did not match expectations with their performance at the start of this season. Chelsea is in 12th place in the standings and the difference in points with the top-ranked teams is 8 points, making their progress appear to be facing bigger obstacles this season.
Well, everyone thinks that Pochettino performance is not very satisfactory, especially after he sold many players in the transfer market and recruited several players who are currently still having difficulty adapting to the strategy he is implementing. So their performance doesn't seem to have changed from their game last season.
