5 points after 5 rounds is completely fucked up, of course  Grin I don’t think that the parallel failures of United and Newcastle somehow reassure Chelsea fans because it was supposed that this would be a season for them with a complete focus on the Premier League (while other clubs are putting their energy into European competition), but so far there is nothing but failures. And I don’t think that Pochettino has time until January, if the team does not start defeating at least weak and average opponents, he will be fired.
I didn't regret Chelsea dropping points in previous matches. But I was very disappointed with Chelsea's performances against Nottingham Forest and Bournemouth. Chelsea lost 1-0 against Nottingham Forest and today drew goalless against Bournemouth. Today's match at least I expected better performance from Chesley. But as usual Chelsea's performance was very poor. The performance of Chelsea's attacking players was poor. The performance of the players made me feel like they were aimless. They have no match strategy. Coach Pochettino has failed so far. There was nothing he could demonstrate to prove his ability. Chelsea management may be looking for a new coach again.
The funny thing is that now they have an easy series of games - out of 5 games, the only serious rivals were Liverpool and somehow Chelsea managed to draw with them. Further games will be more intense and if Chelsea loses to the favorites and the same losers (in the moment) like Newcastle or United, then they simply will not rise from 14th place where they are now.

The team is not able to perform well even against weak opponents. Chelsea's performance in the first match of the season against Liverpool was quite good. They drew 1-1 in the match. But Chelsea's performance was poor in every subsequent match. Chelsea will play against Aston Villa in the next match. Aston Villa is not a strong team. But now they are in better form than Chelsea. Chelsea's main weakness is the poor bond between the players. This is why their performance is erratic. Chelsea's squad is strong enough. Chelsea's past record against Aston Villa is not good. Chelsea have lost their last two matches against Villa. Chelsea's chances of winning this match are also low.
