Pochettino: We’ve to accept, it’s a project.

Mauricio Pochettino has once again defended Chelsea’s horrible start in the Premier league after they suffered their third defeat after six matches. Pochettino commented by saying the club is currently under transition and it’s a project that is gonna need time and patience from the fans as well. Pochettino was asked about Tuchel reign at Chelsea compared to his project but answered by saying Tuchel found an already established project while he himself has started from the scratch.

Chelsea slow start was first thought to be caused by injuries but now things are leaning towards other reasons and the managerial capability of Pochettino. Pochettino was handed all the resources by the club but things haven’t worked out for the Argentine. The recruitment board is now in question as the signings made are not convincing at all to the fans and also giving out results.

◉ 13 defeats
