Yeah they are but honestly in that match they were lucky to get a penalty in the last minute and get a draw. Anyway they have been doing well lately and showing an intent to fight unlike earlier which is a very good sign considering the level of opponents they are about to face in next couple of weeks. Newcastle haven't been in form so must be a good sign for Chelsea here but Newcastle still are a very tough opponents. Secondly they will be facing them on their turf so that makes it further harder. Still I feel Chelsea will show us a good fight but its hard to say if they will be able to win by the final whistle.. It could go either way.
Mauricio Pochettino appears to have a future with Chelsea this season. Manchester City has been one of Chelsea's the most formidable opponents; they are widely regarded as a club that is capable of taking out the Blues. Watching Chelsea games this season has been the most entertaining I've seen so far, and they also happen to be the most thrilling contests, making the viewers relaxed and filled with tension, not knowing what the next step would be. Chelsea did not get a penalty by chance; rather, they addressed to the pressure that was placed on them.
I agree with you. I also think Chelsea are slowly improving with Pochettino. At the beginning of the season we saw Chelsea's performance was very poor. Chelsea also dropped points against relatively weaker teams. Chelsea scored just 13 goals in the first 10 games. Also the chemistry between the Chelsea players was not good. The Chelsea team lost points because of these reasons. But in the last two matches we have seen that the chemistry between the Chelsea players is very good now. Coach Pochettino has also made the players confident. For these reasons, we see the improvement of Chelsea's performance. If Pochettino can instill confidence in his squad, Chelsea's run of form will continue. Chelsea's squad is strong. Chelsea have a lot of talented players in their squad. I expect Chelsea's performance to be stronger in the future.
