It seems you underrate Newcastle. Both teams are good but this season, Newcastle seems to be more consistent in their performance than Chelsea and this is being shown currently in the scoreline in the game with Chelsea.
Newcastle is currently two goals ahead of Chelsea. And while Chelsea may have some chance at staging a comeback, it’s slowly slipping away as the time counts on.
It’s the 73rd minute now and Newcastle doesn’t seem to want to relent as they’re still pressing hard for another goal. It seems the pressure is a lot on Chelsea as James has managed to get himself a second yellow card and has been sent off.
It would be difficult for Chelsea to comeback from this since they are now down to 10 men, with Reece James being sent off for a foul he committed in the 73rd minutes. The way I see the game, Newcastle won't be bothered at all because second half, Chelsea failed to bring the confidence with which they used to draw the first half, we see them making silly mistakes and if you ask me, I feel Pochettino has thrown in the towel already.
Honestly, with their stellar performance before the international break, I expected they will demolish Newcastle but no, it just proves the point that they usually perform poorly whenever they come back from an international break. Well for me, I'm tired of seeing them in the 10th spot, it's as if they are not progressing.
