Struggling Chelsea faced another setback on Sunday, settling for a disappointing goalless draw against Bournemouth.
Their Premier League season is off to a dismal start, with just one win in five games under Mauricio Pochettino’s leadership. The lack of a cutting edge on the field at the Vitality Stadium led to boos from the fans.
Chelsea have failed to find the back of the net in their last two matches, managing only five goals in the league this season. Currently, they find themselves in 14th place, closer to the relegation zone than the top four, posing a significant challenge for Pochettino as he navigates his role at Stamford Bridge.
Despite a £350 million spending spree on new signings, Pochettino has struggled to make an impact. Injuries have compounded their problems, and the decision to bring in younger players has left the squad lacking the experience needed to secure victories.
Pochettino’s initial target of securing a Champions League spot this season now seems overly optimistic after this lackluster performance against winless Bournemouth. While it’s premature to suggest Pochettino is in danger of being sacked, the swift dismissal of previous managers like Graham Potter serves as a reminder of the pressure he faces.
