Mauricio Pochettino got a big win in his favour last night, and used the chance to make a quite rousing speech about Chelsea and their progress.
He insisted that “this is not the Chelsea of 20 years ago” and that fans shouldn’t expect that.
He still thinks this team can get to the top, but it may take several seasons, and he warned people not to get impatient. He needs time and trust because there are “too many things to fix.”
He may well be right – but he has to get good enough results along the way to keep his job, that’s essential.
