However, the game was in the FA Cup and it wasn't a premier league match for Chelsea but still, they successfully won the game. This win can even help Pochettino to decrease pressure on this coach because I think recently he was even about to get fired from Chelsea because of the bad performance and bad results they got during this season even after all the money they spent.

Chelsea performance in today match was quite good where Pochettino men were able to win this match with a big score. Indeed, the quality of their opponents is quite weak in today match and this victory is quite natural for chelsea in today match. Apart from that, all fans hope that chelsea performance in the Premier League can improve in the second half of this season. They must be consistent in looking for wins in order to improve their ranking.

The team that has really performed badly in the last 5 matches in the Premier League is Brentford where in 5 match they have never won so their ranking is getting worse. Everton also had the same fate as they lost their best form in the last 3 matches which made their position increasingly threatened with falling into the relegation zone. The competition at the bottom of the standings for teams who want to get out of the relegation zone is starting to heat up because Luton and Burnley will try to get out of the relegation zone in the second half of this season.

But this performance should still be put into reasonable context because this opponent was so far inferior that Chelsea had to win this game no matter what. They would really have had no excuses whatsoever if they didn't win this game and you know, it still took them 58 minutes to score the first goal. I didn't really expect failure from them because they were keeping up the pressure during the game, but they lack this deadliness in the box of their opponent. They don't have this one amazing striker. It is still a waiting game for them and in this case it ended in a good way for them.
I understand your perspective. Chelsea performed poorly compared to their opponent. Yes, Preston isn't a football powerhouse, and Chelsea was expected to dominate. The fact that they scored after 58 minutes is telling, no? Chelsea's caliber should break down a squad with documented defensive weaknesses faster

You nailed the striker issue. They lack a reliable striker. Their condition has persisted for a while. This vulnerability could cost them against stronger teams, even though they won. They must improve in the EPL, where competition is tough and lost opportunities are costly
