Well, if Pochettino is given time this season, of course we hope to see Chelsea in the top 4 or competing hard with Manchester City and Arsenal and that could happen.
But unfortunately management fired Pochettino which makes us doubt their progress this season. The reason I hesitate is because the players have to adapt again to the new style of play from their new coach, even though last season their game was very good.
Even though that's just my assumption, I hope that Chelsea can return to the top spot and play again in the Champions League. Let's wait and see whether Enzo Maresca will succeed in bringing significant changes to the team's progress or whether he will be fired again.
Enzo Maresca himself is trying to create such good changes at Chelsea and his fans have also begun to hope that what Enzo Maresca will do can provide much better results for Chelsea even though I myself still doubt what Enzo Maresca will achieve at Chelsea because the competition in the Premier League always looks fiercer and quite high. However, it is also very important for any party to give time to the new Chelsea coach because that has been the decision of Chelsea itself after firing Pochettino at the end of last season due to the less than impressive performance of the Chelsea team itself.
