After last year's poor ranking, fans of course expected better performance this year, but we saw that Chelsea started to lose blood when they started to send some important players from the team at the beginning of the year. Their places could not be easily filled. They seem to be missing a striker and are having great trouble scoring goals. They will have to deal with this problem.
It is difficult to know what caused Chelsea to be where they are now, even though they have spent a lot of money buying players and in the Premier League Chelsea is one of the clubs that spends the most money buying players. If you look at their performance in the English league, it is very disappointing and Chelsea only experienced one win in the English league when they faced Luton Town, the rest were draws and defeats.
Pochettino will be faced with dismissal if he is unable to recover in the upcoming match and I think Pochettino's burden will be much greater to restore the player's confidence. Facing Brighton will be much more difficult than Aston Villa last week, so there is a possibility that they will suffer another defeat in the next match.
